Case Study: The Open University of Tanzania improves email availability, integrity, and reliability with Zimbra

The Open University of Tanzania connects 800 employees with Zimbra

The Open University of Tanzania (OUT), a public university with approximately 800 employees, was facing significant challenges with its SquirrelMail platform, including a high influx of spam, reliability issues with email delivery, and disturbances in communication. They needed a new email and collaboration solution from a vendor like Zimbra to improve availability, integrity, and reliability.

Zimbra provided its solution to replace the legacy system, which delivered improved integrity with two-factor authentication, high availability with reduced spam and downtime, and greater reliability for email delivery. The implementation resulted in improved data sharing and communications for OUT's students and external partners. The university was also surprised by Zimbra's high usability, email speed, and flexibility for mobile platforms.
