| Zimbra Launches Zimbra Collaboration Suite 5.0 Zimbra, a Yahoo! company, announces the availability of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) 5.0. ZCS 5.0 includes hundreds of enhancements that expand Zimbra's access across desktops and devices while setting the standard for Web-based productivity in a business environment, and showcases Yahoo!'s dedication to providing world-class e-mail and collaboration services. Yahoo!'s global reach and Zimbra's expansive partner network are fueling continued growth, reaching key audiences including universities, ISPs and small businesses – further extending Yahoo!'s overall leadership in e-mail, a key daily starting point for Web users today. Enhancements in ZCS 5.0 extend Zimbra's best-of-breed anywhere access on the desktop, including support for Microsoft Outlook 2007, and on virtually any device, with support for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, J2ME-enabled handsets such as the Motorola RAZR, and a new version of ZCS for mobile web browsers. New features in the Zimbra AJAX Web client include instant messaging, briefcase, and task applications as well as Zimbra Desktop, the world's first offline-capable Web 2.0 collaboration experience. New features in ZCS 5.0 include: - Native e-mail, contacts, calendar, and task synchronization from Zimbra to Outlook 2007; - Access Zimbra on all BlackBerry handsets, J2ME enabled devices, or any mobile web browser, including the Apple iPhone; - Zimbra Tasks monitor start and due dates, priority, progress, and percent complete of tasks; - Built directly into ZCS, Web-based Instant Messaging supports multiple conversations and group chats; - Conveniently store any file from an e-mail in Zimbra Briefcase instead of as an e-mail attachment; easily share Briefcase folders with others; - Work online or offline with Zimbra Desktop, the AJAX experience for Zimbra users and users of existing POP and IMAP e-mail servers; - Share inboxes and e-mail folders with others, including the ability to provide read-only-access or allow others to completely manage; - Fifteen fully certified languages ship within ZCS for end-users to choose. New Zimlets in ZCS 5.0 leverage Yahoo! properties, including Flickr, Yahoo! Local, Yahoo! Finance, and Yahoo! Search. Later this year, Zimbra's innovative technologies will be incorporated into properties including Yahoo! Mail and Calendar. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
