Comcast Picks Zimbra to Launch the Next Generation of Consumer Messaging
Zimbra is set to announce an important strategic partnership with Comcast, providing email, visual voice mail and a unified customer experience as part of the new Comcast SmartZone.
The service will take advantage of Zimbra's already very slick and functional browser-based app to deliver email, content, personalized information and a new visual voicemail for the "triple-play" setup.
We often hear proprietary vendors say that open source is not enterprise-class. Not only does this deal prove that Zimbra is enterprise-class, but also shows that open source goes horizontal into consumer-class, a much less educated and much more easily frustrated group of users.
