Enterprise Linux Today: HP and Samsung SDS Sign Licensing Agreement for OpenMail Software

“Hewlett-Packard Company and Samsung SDS have signed a
licensing agreement allowing SDS to develop, enhance and sell
messaging solutions built on HP’s OpenMail e-mail server software.

SDS plans to develop products with new features providing
existing OpenMail software users an ideal path for upgrades. The
first release of SDS’s messaging server will be compatible with
OpenMail 7.0 and all its latest features while also adding new
enhancements. The new server is expected to ship in the first half
of 2002. A future version, also planned for 2002, will include
telephone access to e-mail — what is known as unified
messaging.

Based on OpenMail software’s highly reliable, secure and stable
base, the new SDS messaging solution, Samsung Contact, will
incorporate the latest technology developed both internally and by
partners. SDS’s goal is for the new solution to become the leading
unified communication product on the market.”
