Zimbra for Education

Email and Collaboration Solution

Zimbra provides a state-of-the-art messaging and collaboration solution for modern educational environments. Higher educational institutions are in the midst of upgrading legacy email systems to eliminate multiple email systems or to satisfy the needs of their students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

With the Zimbra Collaboration Server, educational institutions can meet the specific needs of faculty and staff with enterprise-class open source email, calendaring, and collaboration features. At the same time, taking advantage of innovative functionality, scalability, and cost efficiency enables campus populations to maximize their productivity.
