As we recognize Independence Day in the U.S. and around the world this week, we wanted to do our own call-out to email users and collaborators looking to retain their independence: of no vendor lock-in, to freedom from privacy policies that rob them of their ability to maintain ownership of their data.
Did you see the “Facebook Police Enforce Facebook Email” video spreading around? It’s pure satire but having come from the ‘land of the free,’ it’s easy to see how more and more in the digital world, people’s independence to choose what is great user experience is being surrendered.
Maybe you have seen our motto on our T-shirts, about being “ruthlessly open.” Our philosophy and approach to building web-age software is all about choice and flexibility for the user. Open-Xchange makes it best online casino easy to integrate access to any kind of existing webmail accounts into Open-Xchange and be managed centrally. Plus, contact details from social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Xing can be added automatically to the Open-Xchange address book. Ever tried to merge multiple calendars and address books from Google into Open-Xchange..? It’s a piece of cake. And, by adding Open-Xchange mobility capabilities, users can push email and synchronize contacts, calendars and other information from their Open-Xchange accounts to their smartphones, including iPhone, Android-based devices, Nokia and Windows Phone.
What do you seek when looking for flexible choices for email, collaboration and communication platforms? How independent and customizable does your communication need to be?
I seem to remember it was about this time last year that a David was shut out by a social media/communication Goliath.
