The
benefits of moving
to Samsung Contact
Enjoy a
low Total Cost
of Ownership
Samsung
Contact is the low
cost, Linux alternative to Microsoft's Exchange Server, with full
functionality.
Independent studies show that we really do offer a proven low total
cost
of ownership (easily half the cost of Exchange!). And with flexible
licensing
policies, Samsung Contact is one of the most affordable Exchange Server
replacements on the market.
Keep
Outlook on your desktop
Full
integration with the
Microsoft Outlook desktop client means that you can keep the email
client
your users love. The Samsung Contact MAPI Service Provider allows
Outlook
users to access the Samsung Contact server with full collaborative
functionality.
The Samsung Contact MAPI Service Provider version 8 supports Microsoft
Outlook 98, 2000 and 2002 (XP). Unlike other, low-functionality
solutions,
Samsung Contact supports calendaring, scheduling, public folders, task
management and delegation - all in true online or offline modes.
Samsung
Contact running as the email server for Outlook brings many benefits.
Apart
from the obvious scalability, security and reliability benefits of
using
Samsung Contact, we provide functionality improvements in the areas of
scheduling and offline folder synchronization. Other vendors are trying
to catch up with our position, but none have as much experience in
providing
a great user experience with Outlook. Our team of engineers has
extensive
experience of Outlook collaboration since their time on OpenMail. You
can
be assured that Samsung are strategically committed to continue
tracking
and supporting new versions of Outlook.
Wide
choice of desktop
client interfaces
Samsung
Contact's open and
extensible architecture supports a wide range of desktop clients. Today
that means using the web, WAP, PDAs, IMAP4, POP3, in addition to the
popular
Microsoft Outlook client with full MAPI connectivity. In addition, the
new Samsung clients on Windows, MAC OS X, Linux and Web server provide
"Outlook-like" features at lower cost and complexity.
Highly
scalable to support
millions of users
Samsung
Contact servers
can reliably support a million users and terabytes of storage. The
Samsung
Contact directory can deliver sub-second responses, even with millions
of entries and it can work alongside other directories such as LDAP or
legacy corporate databases.
Powerful
and reliable.
99.999% availability
Samsung
Contact has been
developed based on the proven OpenMail® technology that has been
deployed
as the message server for around 15 million mail boxes worldwide. Its
matchless
architecture gives it great performance, reliability, maintainability
and
availability characteristics, especially when compared to
workgroup-based
architectures. We realize that there is no point in designing great
software
if the platform upon which it runs is not reliable. That's why you will
only find Samsung Contact designed to work on inherently reliable
platforms
such as Linux and UNIX (HP-UX, Sun Solaris and IBM AIX).
Solid
experience of Linux
We are not
some new manufacturer
jumping on the Linux bandwagon. We have been working with Linux and
open
source since back in the days of OpenMail in 1998. We are totally
committed
to Linux, and our commitment extends to UNIX platforms too.
