From small to big organization is useful to share information such as events and contact information. For this purpose you can use many collaboration tools. In this article we explain how to share events and contact information using Servermx and SOGo.
Servermx (www.servermx.com) is an email hosting provider focused on privacy and security. It is a service which gives you the ability to create and to manage email-boxes.
What’s SOGo
SOGo (www.sogo.nu) allows to manage calendars and address books with a completely free and open source solution. SOGo is also a web client.
If you want to use SOGo you have two choices: the first one is to install it by yourself in your own private hosting. The second one is to use a service which provides SOGo integration. Servermx makes available SOGo along with any email-boxes.
