ITBusinessEdge: MDaemon – A Cheaper BlackBerry Email Experience For SMBs
Paul Mah reports that the BlackBerry Edition of the MDaemon Messaging Server allows SMBs to set up a BlackBerry network at a fraction the cost of using Microsoft Exchange and less expensively than other competing solutions as well.
“The quiet acquisition of a company called Alt-N Technologies by RIM in 2009 has finally borne fruit as the RIM subsidiary last week announced the availability of a BlackBerry Edition of its popular e-mail server offering. Touted as an alternative to Microsoft Exchange Server, MDaemon Messaging Server was designed to provide affordable groupware capabilities to businesses and offer integration with Microsoft Outlook via an optional Outlook Connector component.
Detailed information for the base MDaemon Messaging Server can be found here, though the truly exciting part of the BlackBerry Edition is how it brings an affordable e-mail platform and a business-grade BlackBerry experience to SMBs at a price many times lower than the cost of rolling out Microsoft Exchange 2010. In fact, Alt-N has put together a chart to show how the MDaemon Messaging Server is cheaper than comparable messaging products from a number of competitors.”
