Robert Matney from Amicus, which describes itself as "the leading application service provider (ASP) of outsourced messaging and compliance solutions to the financial services industry and firms across the business spectrum", recently left a comment on this site about Amicus's hosting of Zimbra. Robert commented that Amicus:
"[has] been thrilled with ZCS' ability to help us connect more effectively"
I followed up with Robert by email, and asked what he meant by that. Here's his response, quoted with permission:
By 'connect' here I simply mean collaborate. Using the ZCS group calendaring, our office manager knows when the CEO is available for appointments, we all know which Operations team member is on call, which engineering resources are available at any given point, and how our weekly team meetings are structured. The shared contacts give us team visibility and reduce the email chatter. And the self-integration within Zimbra of the email, calendaring and contact management helps our efficiency. In part because we are a multi-platform office environment (Linux, Mac OS, and Windows of various stripes), we had not previously achieved this level of electronic collaboration.In summary, Zimbra has been very helpful in our effort to tilt at the windmill of info silos, and labor isolation. And we think that's groovy. So we are a hosting partner and are integrating our various tools and services to make Zimbra an even richer experience for our clients.
What a great testimonial from a customer-turned-business partner. What's been your experience with Zimbra at your place?
