STRATO says its customers can upgrade to premium features through an in-application store.
“With more than 24 million users, Open-Xchange is now the world’s leading technology supplier of hosted groupware,” said Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange. “Providing consumers and businesses with the next-level cloud-based communication platform, Open-Xchange is the perfect partner for STRATO to differentiate in a highly-competitive hosting market.”
