It proved to be a stable and well-performing solution, in particular when considering the difficult environment. The included load balancing helps cushioning usage peaks well.

We were looking for a Calendaring system to fulfill our requirements for a highly available groupware solution that would integrate well into our current open source based email infrastructure (both on the client and the server). After looking at several open source solutions we were either not happy with the feature set, level of modularity or the support services available. Then we hit upon SOGo. The software itself seemed to easily meet our requirements, with tight integration with Mozilla Thunderbird and the Lightning plugin, as well as a slick web based access system for email and calendaring features (which emulates Thunderbird closely enough that the transition would be simple for our users). However what we were really impressed by was the level of support available from Inverse. It is important for us to know that our open source based products will be well supported and maintained, and Inverse have been extremely helpful to us in this regard. The installation was one of the best planned, and smoothly implemented I have ever had the pleasure of overseeing, and any subsequent queries or bugs have been dealt with in an efficient, friendly and timely manner. The tight coupling with Lightning is also a definite plus, with any required changes being quickly implemented and then contributed to the open source community. All in all, I would give the SOGo/Inverse combination 10 out of 10 for features, support and ease of administration.

Realizing that our then current calendar application would not integrate into the mobile world, we started looking at other applications, including Microsoft Exchange. We needed a solution that would sync with a multitude of mobile devices as well as be user friendly. We discovered SOGo in it's early stages and immediately liked it. SOGo followed a open source concept that we use here at GULF. It also ties directly into our current e-mail application and has the ability to sync with today's modern mobile devices. We spoke with Inverse and made a decision to move forward with them. We liked where SOGo was heading, and the support for SOGo is second to none! We currently have SOGo serving 300 users for calendaring and task management.
