Open source Microsoft Exchange alternative delivers enhanced file sharing

NUREMBERG, Germany, September 9, 2010 – Open-Xchange, a provider of business-class open source collaboration software, today announced numerous enhancements for sharing data by using Open-Xchange´s unique social networking features.

With the latest update, Open-Xchange provides users with more than 100 improvements for e-mail, calendar, address book, document and task management. In addition, the latest version adds new “Social OX” capabilities that simplify the aggregation of e-mail and contact information from external mail services and make it easy to share documents without sending large e-mail attachments.

New features of Open-Xchange 6.18 include:

• Aggregation of e-mails and addresses from gmx.com, MSN/Hotmail and T-Online
• Simplified document sharing using Open-Xchange "Publish and Subscribe"
• Enhanced subscription of addresses from social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and XING
• Improved handling of tags for appointments and contacts
• Call History for VoIP calls
• Usability and design improvements of calendar, tasks and permissions
• Enhanced mobility support that gives users access to their data anywhere, anytime and with virtually any device

"We listened to the feedback from users and partners to help make Open-Xchange a central application for digital communication – both personal and business," said Rafael Laguna, CEO, Open-Xchange. This release improves usability and stability in many areas, with focus on the Social OX features that make Open-Xchange the data hub for users."

More information on the latest Open-Xchange update is available at www.open-xchange.com/de/ox_6_18_news.

Open-Xchange is used by more than 15 million people worldwide as hosted and on-premises business-class e-mail and groupware. On-premises customers can update their installations with this release. SaaS customers will receive the new features as soon as their provider updates their accounts.
