VMWare Zimbra - Webmail Apps
Enhance the End User Experience with Zimlets
- New functionality may consist of simple hovers (view maps, calendar schedules) or entirely new application tabs (Zimbra Social)
- Zimlets can call 3rd party data sources (WebEx) or internal back office systems (CRM)
- Administrators configure which Zimlets are available to users and they can further refine their usage preference within the deployed set
Zimlets in Action
View Calendar Email
Hovers are simple yet powerful ways to save time- if someone sends an email suggesting a meeting date simply mouse over to preview your calendar on that day.
Address and Map Preview
This useful hover identifies physical addresses in email message bodies and renders them as maps.
Google Translate
Global organizations often receive email in non-native languages- this tool automatically previews and translates messages; allowing a user to reply.
Salesforce.com Bar
This Zimlet cross-references email senders / recipients in SFDC and provides contextual options to add Leads or append messages sent to Accounts & Opportunities.
WebEx
It’s no longer necessary to open WebEx to schedule a conference- it’s done for you and the meeting information is included in the Calendar invites you send.
Smartsheet
Smartsheet customers can access their spreadsheets and Gantt charts within Zimbra; milestones appear in Zimbra Calendar that you can share with peers.
Social
Save time by aggregating and managing social networks like Facebook inside Zimbra instead of a desktop client; works anywhere on any computer.
