So I've been working away, trying to identify the best alternative to Microsoft Exchange Server for my organization. I had initially narrowed the field down to two: Zimbra, and Open-Xchange. I've spent a few hours today going through the latter, and a fairly thorough review of the Open-Xchange site suggests that it supports the following:
- Messaging (email)
- Shared Calendars
- Shared Tasks
- Shared Contacts
- Document sharing
- Project portals (not entirely certain what this is, but if it is what I think it is, it looks promising)
- User forums, bulliten boards
- Knowledge base (sort of like a faq on steroids)
- Bookmark repository (our own private del.icio.us?)
- Support for Outlook (through a nifty api called the oxtender)
- Support for Palm
- Support for Samba
- Support for SyncML
- Advanced user management
- Advanced messaging archival/reporting/retrieval
