NEW YORK, NY and NAPLES, FL--(Marketwire - October 28, 2008) - Scalix, the award-winning Linux
email, calendaring and messaging company, and GeM Solutions, provider of
Anywhere to Anywhere E-mail Migration™, today announced an agreement to
offer the GeM Shuttle Manager for simple and fast migration to Scalix, from
"anywhere," including Lotus Notes/Domino, Novell GroupWise, Fischer TAO,
and all IMAP44-compliant messaging platforms. Companies of all sizes can
now easily migrate all email, attachments, calendars, contacts, folders,
directories and mail lists from costly legacy systems to Scalix solutions
based on open standards and open source. After the migration, they will be
free to use their email clients and mobile devices of choice.
"We have been assisting organizations all over the world who are migrating
from a variety of e-mail platforms to Scalix. Scalix and GeM will now work
more closely together to assure simple and fast migrations," said Don
Innis, GeM Solutions Senior VP of Worldwide Sales.
"As a dual-skilled Microsoft and Novell/Linux engineer, I found the GeM
Shuttle Manager to be both cost effective and easy to use. I was able to
migrate all of our sites to Scalix, with over 2TB worth of data, and not
lose a single feature," confirmed Antony Eason, IT Network Manager for UK
Northcroft.
"Migration only works when it is easy, fast and does not risk the loss of
data. This agreement with GeM Solutions provides seamless migration from
legacy messaging platforms to Scalix," said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO.
"Companies of any size now have a key to unlock the shackles of proprietary
technologies, and seamlessly transfer critical collaboration data to the
Scalix platform based on open standards and freedom of choice."
