Open-Xchange Server Wins ServerWatch Product Excellence Award

TARRYTOWN, NY (PRWEB) June 9, 2006 –- Open-Xchange Inc. announced today that its leading open source collaboration server, Open-Xchange, has been awarded the ServerWatch Product Excellence Award in the «Messaging and Collaboration Server» category. Please visist http://www.open-xchange.com for more information

Server Watch published the following comments, «Messaging and real-time communications are closely related categories, so we weren't surprised to see an open source product come out on top here, as well. Open-Xchange, a messaging and collaboration suite available under the GPL, finished well ahead of IBM Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. Domino and Exchange — which arguably dominate the market — were far from dominant in our voting, each capturing only about 9 percent of the vote», explains ServerWatch in their laudation. «ServerWatch readers instead cast their votes for the well-traveled free and open source software (FOSS) project that's based on Postfix, OpenLDAP, Apache, Cyrus IMAP, Tomcat, and PostgreSQL.»

«Open-Xchange is thankful to the readers of Server Watch for this award," said Dan Kusnetzky, Executive Vice President, Open-Xchange Inc. «It's an honor for us to see our efforts to create an environment that supports Smart Collaboration™ rewarded in this fashion. We share the credit with the open source community and our customers for their continued support. Open-Xchange Inc. is committed to delivering the most feature rich, cost effective, open source collaboration platform.»
