(1888PressRelease) March 22, 2011 - Zarafa, the European drop-in Microsoft Exchange replacement for email, calendaring, collaboration and tasks, is expanding into Eastern Europe.

After the launch of the evaluation version in January, it was downloaded by more than 2000 IT integrators and potential customers in Eastern Europe.

Today, Zarafa will sign a contract with Linux Polska. Darius Swiader, CEO of Linux Polska Sp. z o.o: "This agreement is a milestone in building a complete enterprise open source solutions portfolio for our customers in Poland. We will work together to expand Zarafa's partner network, and provide local support and trainings. I strongly believe that the ecosystem of business partners and customers in Poland will benefit from our cooperation." John Duurkoop, Commercial Director of Zarafa, adds: "After Russia, Poland is the largest open source market of Eastern Europe. Local support and training is very important to capitalize on this momentum."

The promotion of Zarafa in Poland gets a boost today as well.
