Top 10 Reasons

to exchange your messaging server for

Samsung Contact

1. Keep Outlook®

Or choose to eliminate Outlook®. It's your choice! Samsung Contact integrates directly with Outlook®, even for collaboration, so users won't notice any significant difference. Alternatively use the low cost Outlook-like Samsung Contact 'native' Client on Windows, Mac OS X* or Linux desktops, or via a Web browser. Or a broad range of standard IMAP/POP clients.

2. Halve Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Gain long term savings according to independent analysis by Ferris Research. Ferris found that the typical cost over 3 years of Samsung Contact at US$7 per user per month is nearly half that of Microsoft Exchange at US$13.

3. Halve upfront software costs

Start saving immediately with upfront messaging and platform license costs as low as one half that of Exchange® on Windows**.

4. Don't get trapped by costly platform vendor lock in

Samsung Contact supports Outlook® MAPI and open standards like LDAP directories, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. Administrators can decouple their plans for messaging from larger architectural issues, and prevent platform vendors from using messaging as a lock-in to far more costly and complex software stacks and frameworks.

5. Proven track record & up to 99.999% availability

Continuing enhancement and the experience that comes from 12 years of Hewlett-Packard OpenMail® deployments, as Samsung Contact was previously known, provides solid security and stability. We ran HP OpenMail for 8 years without failure. You just cannot compare its reliability with any Windows based email product. Axel Fritsch, IT Administrator at TSR Recycling.

6. Massively scalable from five to millions of users

Scalable from small businesses to enterprises like Cargill Inc with 30,000 mailboxes.

7. Keep your existing data

8. Clustering support

High availability clustering on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server and HP-UX.

9. Choose your preferred Linux or Unix platform
