Here’s the teaser:

For this webinar we will have an open panel discussion featuring Zimbra customers Western Illinois University, Georgia Tech and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

You can register here. It should be enlightening to hear how these universities made the decision to go with Zimbra.

Zimbra graciously asked me to moderate a panel/webinar with a few of its university customers. Entitled “Campus IT Leaders Share Their Experiences Selecting and Deploying Next-Generation Messaging,” we’ll be walking through the anatomy of an open-source IT decision and figuring out the costs and benefits of moving from Exchange (and other proprietary systems, as well as from open-source messaging systems) to Zimbra.

Wed November 7 @ 1:00 pm EST (10 am PST)

Often the best data points about which messaging and collaboration system to choose for a campus upgrade comes after the initial deployment. Thus, finding peers who can provide real world feedback is critical to the decision making process.
