What is Open-Xchange — and how will it help you?

Open-Xchange, with over 15 million users, is now the world's leading technology supplier of groupware for SaaS providers. Parallels’ Open-Xchange service module stems from a partnership between Parallels and Open-Xchange, which lets hosting and service providers deploy and sell Open-Xchange together with Parallels' automation tools. This integrated solution enables service providers to deliver a cost-effective, enterprise-class alternative to commercial e-mail and collaboration products — at a competitive price.

Built for SaaS from the ground up, Open-Xchange offers a host of end-user benefits, including:

• Anytime, anywhere collaboration — from almost any device, using any standard browser
• Integrated document management, with functionality that enables users to easily share data with internal and external users
• A highly advanced user interface that includes features such as drag-and-drop and right-mouse-button context menus
• Tight integration with Microsoft Outlook and Mac OS X Mail, so users can stay productive when they’re offline
• Support for push e-mail and mobile devices, so users can get urgent e-mail as soon as it arrives — even when they’re on the go
• A flexible pricing model, with the ability for users to buy only as much as they need

In short, Open-Xchange helps service providers, ISPs, and IT service companies increase their average revenue per user (ARPU) by expanding their service offerings to include enterprise-class SaaS e-mail applications — with competitive pricing and support for a variety of business models.
