National managed Linux services provider and Open Source software specialist Synaq has boosted its technical capability to integrate and support the Scalix messaging platform with an investment in training from the US-based messaging infrastructure company.
Technical managers from Synaq have completed an intensive, three-day training course hosted by Florian von Kurnatowski, Director EMEA Technical Services at Scalix, focused on the Scalix solution.
The training has been organized following Synaq's formal agreement and partnership with Scalix to extend the solution to the local market.
"The high-level training strengthens our ability to solicit maximum value from the solution for clients. It guarantees us a higher level of understanding in order to offer the necessary support and services," explains Yossi Hasson, sales and marketing director at Synaq. "Synaq has invested in Scalix as an answer to the growing need to offer a comprehensive Linux-based Exchange replacement and we are encouraged by this investment in the partnership and our skills level."
"With its award-winning SWA Webmail interface and full support for the industry-standard Outlook desktop client, Scalix is a true alternative to Microsoft's Exchange server. The foundation is solid and cuts down on messaging costs by consolidating workgroup servers. The introduction of new infrastructure will certainly add value to local businesses and presents options to enterprises that are planning to invest or those already investing in Linux or Open Source infrastructure. Scalix offers a very robust and scaleable Enterprise Messaging platform running on Linux," he adds.
Von Kurnatowski believes the alliance with Synaq will add value to the messaging infrastructure company's ongoing campaign to increase its presence within emerging markets.
"The solution is well-established in various key markets throughout the world and our intention is to increase the level of awareness and adoption in developing markets. Synaq has the reach and presence to help drive this campaign forward into the South African market, which has significant potential for us, he says.
