About Samsung Contact
Samsung Contact is an email server product, offering the lowest total cost
of ownership, extreme scalability and solid reliability to email desktop
clients. Amongst the clients supported is Microsoft Outlook, including the
"collaboration" features (such as shared calendars, delegation and offline
folders), which are otherwise only accessible when using a Microsoft
server. Customers can easily migrate to Samsung Contact from leading email
products such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and HP OpenMail. The
product has been developed following Samsung's win of perpetual licensing
rights over Hewlett-Packard's highly successful OpenMail technology.
Investment and commitment to the roadmap will continue to build on the
success of OpenMail, and expectations are that Samsung Contact will become
the market leader in the field of seamless unified communications. Future
development will also encompass technologies such as J2EE and XML. For more
