Hostpoint will also offer additional Open-Xchange modules enabling users to seamlessly upgrade to a full-featured collaboration solution.

Following the partnership with 1 and 1 Internet Inc., the world’s largest hosting provider, this partnership further validates Open-Xchange’s strategy to serve the small-to-medium enterprise (SME) market: Open-Xchange is committed to supply the SME market with world class email and collaboration solutions through Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and web-hosting companies like Hostpoint. This partnership is therefore intended to push Hostpoint into the fast-growing ‘Software as a Service’ (SaaS) market.

Gerald Labie, CEO of Open-Xchange remarked, ”Webhosters, Internet Service Providers and Telecoms are perfectly positioned to meet the growing demand for new applications (SaaS) from millions of SMEs by leveraging their current customer relationships and infrastructures and by offering improved webmail and new groupware capabilities over the simple webmail in place today. By making Open-Xchange Smart Collaboration easily available with our partners, we are helping to transform the way people communicate that simplifies their everyday work, life, and social interaction.”

As part of the agreement, Hostpoint will deploy Open-Xchange’s advanced AJAX-based email webclient to their 250,000 email accounts as part of their standard offerings.

Claudius Rollin, Chief Customer Officer of Hostpoint added, ”SaaS is a new and disruptive way for SMEs to benefit from innovative software. With hosted Open-Xchange, SMEs can make use of groupware technology without an initial investment or ongoing administration efforts at unrivalled price points — which is in fact less than the cost of the electric power to run an in-house email server.”

Designed for ISP’s and Webhosters The Open-Xchange Hosting Edition is the only groupware solution designed specifically to meet the needs of hosting providers. It has been architected to integrate into a hosting provider’s existing infrastructure such as authentication, provisioning, billing, and email storage rather than require that these systems be replaced.
