  2. What this is going to be about “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” R. Buckminster Fuller

  3. User Demands Users today are challenged by information overflow, Especially by too many and too big emails and the Web • Requires functions beyond simple eMail to avoid overflow and attachment-hell • Strong need for more advanced groupware and sharing capabilities • Access information from almost any device – mobile device support • Intuitive easy-to-use user interface either AJAX web UI or MS Outlook • Integration into other Internet Applications through Mesh-Ups

  5. Where is the money? eMail is for free these days… “Driven by dropping prices and new vendors, the long-nascent market for hosted e-mail mailboxes is poised for rapid growth over the next five years, from 1% of enterprise seats in 2007 to 20% in 2012.” “The move to a hosted delivery model for e-mail will create opportunities for new e-mail suppliers.” “E-Mail Hosting: Poised for Explosive Growth” Matthew W. Cain, Gartner, Feb 22, 2008 “Growth in the hosted business eMail segment will be driven by SOHOs and small to medium-sized businesses. The continually improving functionality of hosted business e-mail services is a boon for these businesses, enabling them to deploy advanced messaging and collaboration features to end users without having to purchase and manage costly insourced software.” Radicati Group Hosting E-mail Market, 2006-2010
