I just ended a project in which we had to find a messaging service for
our students. The resulting advice was to go for Oracle Collaboration
Suite. Our employees use Exchange but the functionality (in way of
supported clients) and costs (TCO of OCS was way lower than Exchange and
Lotus (the other considered package)) of OCS did the trick. And we can
use a three-system cluster instead of 16 non-clustering systems for
Exchange.
