80+ New Q3 2018 Enterprise Customers Embrace Zimbra Value,
Extensibility, Security
BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Synacor Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNC) today announced its Zimbra open source-based
collaboration platform for email, calendaring, messaging and more
continues to see expanded global adoption. Following the release of
Zimbra 8.8, business and government customers are ramping up on Zimbra
to take advantage of critical data privacy and security, open source
flexibility, and low total cost of ownership. More than 80 new customers
deployed Zimbra around the world in Q3, across sectors including
education, retail and government, bringing the 2018 Zimbra new customer
tally to 310.
Grupo BC, a business process outsourcing leader, based in Europe and
Latin America, is among the latest to deploy Zimbra 8.8.
“Grupo BC is in growth mode, and as we rapidly expand into new
countries, email and collaboration security is a priority,” said
Francesc Genové, IT Director, Grupo BC. “Zimbra Network Edition
addresses our increasing communications requirements with the
flexibility we need to do more business in more places, providing
outstanding value and compatibility with the many solutions we rely on
every day to drive our business forward.”
PT Sasa Inti, an Indonesian food industry leader; Quality Equipment, a
major U.S.-based John Deere dealer organization; and India-based Pine
Labs, which has more than 70 percent market share as a provider of
retail point-of-sale solutions all also deployed Zimbra Network Edition,
taking advantage of improved mail archiving in support of new regulation
and compliance demands. Zimbra Network Edition is the only email
collaboration platform to natively offer real-time backup and restore
functionality.
“The market for email and collaboration is increasingly defined by
complex business needs that require flexible solutions, follow local
regulations, and support users at scale,” said Marcus Teo, SVP,
Enterprise Sales & Marketing, Synacor. “Zimbra 8.8 demonstrates
Synacor’s readiness to deftly meet a growing range of cloud and
on-premises needs, and its continued adoption validates the market’s
recognition of Zimbra as a leading platform for global collaboration and
communication demands.”
Some of the recent product developments spurring Zimbra momentum include:
-
Advanced chat and videoconferencing for better collaboration
-
Realtime backup and restore out-of-the-box with no hidden cost add-ons
-
Increased security features, like better encryption and two-factor

The Zimbra community is also increasing momentum, with Synacor gaining
numerous new channel partners this year. Members of the Zimbra Partner
and User community met at Zimbra ACTIV8 Vietnam and ACTIV8
North America recently to share thoughts about the future direction
of the platform, including early insights about Synacor’s upcoming
Zimbra X product and recently
