Junk Filtering Do your customers waste time sifting through myriads of junk ?

IDC recently reported that lost time as a result of spam costs businesses a lot of money. (See They reported that a large organization of 5000 users results in over $4 million of wasted time. Few of us service 5000-user companies, but the point is, spam translates into lost money. With the built-in SpamAssassin, you can filter out suspected junk and enable the spam filter to learn from other spam . In other words, just by placing a spam in a special folder, the spam filter will examine the message and learn to filter out similar future messages.

SCOoffice Server enables contact sharing Shares names, phone numbers, addresses, notes, etc. Controls who may access shared contacts Many small businesses do not have a shared contact management system, so they have difficulty tracking down phone numbers or addresses for customers, suppliers, or even work associates. SCOoffice Server solves this problem because it lets you share contact lists. Users and administrators may determine who has access to the shared list and what rights they have to the list. For example, a user can indicate that Bob and Sally can see the contact list, but only Sally may change the information.

22 SCOoffice Server 4.1 vs. Microsoft Exchange 2003
Features SCO Exchange Send & receive Reject messages based on content at server Support for third-party virus scanners Integrated server-side antivirus software Integrated server-side anti-spam software Text-based message store Delegated alias management Web-based administration This slide shows a side-by-side comparison of SCOoffice Server 4.1 and Microsoft Exchange Please note the differences: SCOoffice Server integrates server-side antivirus and anti-spam out of the box. Exchange doesn’t: You need to purchase a third-party add-on. SCOoffice Server stores each message as a text file, which limits corruption. Exchange appends each message to a single database file. If that file becomes corrupt, then the chances of losing all data is pretty good. With SCOoffice Server, you can delegate who can manage aliases. Exchange only lets the administrator set up aliases. SCOoffice Server provides Web-based administration; Exchange doesn’t.

23 Calendar Feature Comparison
Features SCO Exchange Share calendars Send and receive group scheduling requests Accept & decline meeting requests Access free/busy information Delegate access for scheduling Direct booking of resources As you can see, the calendar features are the same between SCOoffice Server and Exchange.

24 Groupware Feature Comparison
Features SCO Exchange Shared mail folders Shared contacts Shared tasks Shared journals Delegated access Private discussion groups Server-based resource management The groupware features are also the same.
