One of the great things about being an open source company is that we have a passionate community that goes beyond the\u00a0boundaries\u00a0of any one location (Zimbra HQ, for example), with community members that\u00a0participate and contribute from all over the globe.\u00a0 We saw this early on with the help the community gave us for international translations<\/a>,\u00a0 and several of our early partners hailed from as far as South Africa, Brazil and Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So in December when the Ministerio de Vivienda<\/a> – the\u00a0 Ministry of Housing\u00a0in Lima, Peru\u00a0–\u00a0began looking for new options to replace their expensive proprietary software with lower-cost, open source alternatives, it\u00a0came as\u00a0no surprise that the open source community eventually led them to Software Libre Andino<\/a>, a\u00a0Zimbra \/ RedHat distributor in Peru\u00a0who helped replace their\u00a0outdated\u00a0systems with modern ones,\u00a0including Zimbra\u00a0for\u00a0collaboration\u00a0and Alfresco\u00a0for document management.<\/p>\n

The Ministerio de Vivienda,\u00a0which is responsible for all the housing, construction and sewer systems in Peru, has a mission to improve access to adequate housing and basic services to all the citizens of Peru. Saving the government money is definitely one reason for the switch to Zimbra, but another\u00a0important factor in their decision to\u00a0deploy open source solutions is they found that open platforms allow their users to easily integrate and build new solutions on top of\u00a0this foundation.<\/p>\n

In this case they were able to deploy the Alfresco Zimlet<\/a> created by Zimbra community members and allow a simple way for employees to store documents that are attached in email on the Alfresco server, and in turn select documents from the Alfresco server and attach\u00a0them\u00a0to a Zimbra email. Simple, inuitive integrations like these make it easy for government agencies or companies to invest in multiple open source products to meet their needs, instead of choosing proprietary options.<\/p>\n

We love to hear stories of how Zimbra and open source technologies travel the globe \u2013 if you have any stories you want to share, drop us a line<\/a>.<\/p>\n
