E-mail & Collaboration Features

VMware Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is a complete open source email and collaboration platform. It features Email, Contacts, Calendar, Documents, File Sharing, Tasks, Social Media, plus synchronization to other desktops and devices.

Maximum Productivity

ZCS’s Web 2.0 interface is a collaboration “hub” – an open platform that brings together email, calendaring, tasking, documents, social media, and enterprise applications.

Transparent, Open Source Platform

ZCS’s support for openness doesn’t end with easier management and maintenance. Rather, it is a commitment to transparent roadmaps, robust user and developer communities, and open standards to be fully compatible with all common browsers, email clients (including Outlook), desktops and mobile devices.

Simplified Administration and Management

ZCS’s Web-based application reduces support costs and streamlines email deployment, management and provisioning.

This leads to greater reliability and lower total cost of ownership with unprecedented agility, flexibility and control. ZCS gives organizations the freedom to develop collaboration clouds.
