Stanford picks Zimbra for email
Zimbra, Yahoo's group communications system company, won over Stanford University for email support.
How did Zimbra beat out Google (Gmail) and Microsoft (Outlook)? According to the Stanford story,
Zimbra was selected because the technology allows access to e-mail, calendar and contact lists from a single, unified web interface—enabling easy sharing of information among the various services, according to Ammy Hill, campus readiness specialist for IT Services. She added that Zimbra is an open-source, standards-based solution that works equally well on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems.
Zimbra may have won out at Stanford for its particularly strong mobile support (with ActiveSync), as well as its synchronization and administrative functionality. It also boasts certain enterprise-friendly features that Gmail has yet to offer.
