“Open-Xchange, an open source alternative to Microsoft
Exchange, continues to gain momentum in Europe and North America.
The latest example: Bull, a €1,110 million solutions provider
headquartered in Paris, is offering SaaS and on-premises
Open-Xchange to its end customers in Germany. Here are the details.“First, a little background: Open-Xchange seems to be catching
on with channel partners and SaaS specialists because the company
has largely left SaaS and cloud market opportunities to its
partners.“Bull, for instance, says it plans to offer Open-Xchange mail
and groupware to its German customers. Bull customers can use
Open-Xchange as a hosted solution provided by Bull or run it
in-house as on-premise installation — and switch between the
types of operation any time they like, according to an Open-Xchange
media statement.”
