Dotster Introduces Open-Xchange Business Email with Personal Mobility

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 for up to 10 users.

“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.
