Open-Xchange, SugarCRM Partner to Challenge Microsoft Exchange

[ Thanks to The VAR Guy for this link. ]

"First, let's keep things in perspective. The VAR Guy isn't suggesting that Open-Xchange can topple Microsoft Exchange anytime soon. Still, Open-Xchange seems to be gaining momentum in some European and North American customer settings as a cost-effective alternative to Exchange. And Open-Xchange's decision to leave the SaaS market to partners has earned loyalty within the channel ranks. The New Deal

"That entire paragraph is a fancy way of saying Open-Xchange and SugarCRM hope to integrate with social networks to compete against Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Dynamics CRM. At least that's The VAR Guy's spin on the situation."
