VANCOUVER, Wash.--BUSINESS WIRE--Dotster
Inc., a leading provider of Internet business services, is helping
business owners improve efficiency and communication with its new Open-Xchange
Webmail, Business Email, and Personal Mobility solutions. Open-Xchange
provides small business owners a low-cost, open-source alternative to
Microsoft® Exchange, with an average savings of 78 percent

to improve their day-to-day workflow and office collaboration with a
tool like Microsoft Exchange but they simply don’t have the budget to
support it”
“Many of our customers, especially those who own small businesses, want
to improve their day-to-day workflow and office collaboration with a
tool like Microsoft Exchange but they simply don’t have the budget to
support it,” said Dotster CEO Clint Page. ”It’s our mission to provide
these customers with a cost-effective alternative that performs the same
functions, and also offers a variety of improvements upon the original
product.”
Customers who purchase any Dotster email or hosting package will receive
Open-Xchange Webmail at no additional charge. Open-Xchange Webmail
includes a fully-integrated email service, calendar, contact list, and
task list, allowing Dotster customers to manage all of their day-to-day
activities from one central and easily-accessible location. Webmail
users can also add Personal Mobility to their account for just $2.99 per
month, giving them access to the full functions of their Webmail via
mobile devices. Those who need an even more robust and collaborative
solution can upgrade to Open-Xchange Business Email, which includes
Personal Mobility, for $6.99 per month.
With Business Email, employees can share calendars, address books, task
lists and files, resulting in increased productivity, and improved
communication, teamwork and efficiency.
The features of Business Email include:
-
Team calendaring with shared calendars
-
Shared contacts
-
Shared task lists
-
Centralized document storage with version control
-
Mobile device compatibility with Personal Mobility
-
Full integration with popular desktop programs including Microsoft
Outlook’s email, contacts, calendar, and tasks; Apple’s Mail, iCal,
and Address Book; and many more programs.
Personal Mobility offers real-time synchronization of email, contacts,
calendar and tasks and supports popular mobile devices including the
Apple iPhone®, Motorola Android™, BlackBerry®,
Windows Mobile® smartphones and more. Using Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync® technology, Personal Mobility actively
pushes users’ information to their devices in real time, eliminating the
need to schedule the device to pull information or to manually click
send/receive. This is the perfect solution for an individual on the go
who does not need the full collaborative functionality of Business Email.
With Open-Xchange “Social OX” features, users can also consolidate any
kind of existing webmail accounts—for example from Google®
and Yahoo! ®—into a folder in Open-Xchange so they can be
managed more easily. In addition, contact details from social networks
such as Facebook®, LinkedIn® or Xing®
can be added automatically to the Open-Xchange address book—giving users
easy access to the latest contact information within their personal
network.
Dotster also provides 24/7 phone support service for all customers,
providing the help customers need whenever they need it.
