Every sector of the tech industry, be it hardware or software oriented, offering open or closed source solutions, is feeling the economic pinch. Open-Xchange continues to weather the storm with its software as a service (SaaS) open source Exchange server alternative, announcing today it has added four new collaboration partners.
There is no magic formula for success in any business or economy, but Open-Xchange saw its SaaS product, the Open-Xchange Hosting Edition, hit the eight million users mark this year. Though many of Open-Xchange's partners are web hosts and ISPs, there is a real appeal to the SaaS model for businesses with few IT resources who are interested in adopting a groupware solution that's open and easily managed.
