The company states that to improve ease-of use, the latest enhancements introduce a wizard that eases the setup for new and existing Open-Xchange users. The wizard configures the subscriptions of external mail accounts from Google, GMX, Web.de, along with social and business networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing and others, as well as the push synchronization of mobile phones.

"Using open and standardized data formats provides users and organizations with the freedom and security to use social web services for the benefit of their business, without many of the lock-in dangers inherent in such social web services."
