Brinkster Selects Zimbra for Next Generation E-mail and Collaboration

Phoenix, AZ November 30, 2006 – Brinkster, a leading website design and web hosting company, today announced that it has selected the Zimbra Collaboration Suite by Zimbra as its new email and collaboration solution. “With a powerful and cost effective backend and a Ajax web interface that is unmatched in the industry, Zimbra is a great way for us to increase value for our customers and to provide different tiers of service for customers to chose from,” said Jared Stauffer, President and CEO.

The standard edition of Zimbra will have all of the normal email features customers have come to expect plus many cutting edge extras. One of those extras is the ability to organize email by conversation and tag it for future sorting or searching. “When customers need to search for an email, Zimbra makes it easy,” says Ben Chambers, VP of Marketing. The rich search tool provided can build and save advanced, multi-condition searches. And the advanced AJAX interface will help customers navigate through their mail without the page reloading with every click.

Small businesses looking for a collaboration tool for employees will find the enhanced version especially useful. For a small fee, the enhanced version provides customers with features such as shared calendaring, attachment search, resource and group scheduling, and the ability to create rich web-based documents. Another advanced feature offered is Zimbra Mobile which does over-the-air synchronization of mail, contacts, and calendar data with mobile devices without requiring a separate download of software to the device.

“Zimbra is excited to partner with Brinkster to provide them a platform to up sell new feature bundles and to lower the cost of their collaboration platform,” said Scott Dietzen, President and CTO of Zimbra. “Zimbra and our on demand partners like Brinkster share a common goal to provide the best on demand collaboration experience for individual users or large companies.”

Brinkster is in the process of implementing the new system and expects it to be available for customers in mid-December. A demo that showcases some of the available features can be found at http://www.brinkster.com/webmail/webmail.aspx.
