Zimbra adds new document and mobile features

Six months after unleashing its first production version, Zimbra Inc is adding to its Ajax-based email and group collaboration system a WYSIWYG Wiki document editor and threw in the ability to render natively on several major mobile clients.

Full Story – CBR Online.

What is Zimbra? Zimbra is a collaboration suite designed for teams and offers

• Email
• Shared calendar
• Web document authoring and sharing
• “Over the air” sync to mobile devices
• Microsoft Outlook, Apple, and Linux compatibility
• VoIP integration

As a PIM (Personal Information Manager) it covers the bases that Microsoft’s ubiquitous Outlook software does and is server-based, built using Web 2.0 principles. However, it goes much further as it offers true collaboration functions.

The addition of the WYSIWYG Wiki document editor is a significant addition as it allows groups/teams to collaborate on documents securely from anywhere, including many mobile devices. This allows for more virtual team environments, and the inclusion of a security model allows for tighter document control.
