'''Open-Xchange''' is an open source web-based office [[productivity software]] suite.

==History==
Founded in 2005 by Rafael Laguna and Frank Hoberg, the software was released in December of the same year, and started as a [[Linux]]-based [[email]] and [[groupware]] program that was positioned as [[open-source software|open-source]] alternative to [[Microsoft Exchange Server|Microsoft Exchange]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=vincentdanen |date=2005-12-12 |title=Microsoft Exchange compatibility with Open-Xchange |url=https://www.techrepublic.com/article/microsoft-exchange-compatibility-with-open-xchange/ |access-date=2023-12-20 |website=TechRepublic |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Overview==

The software includes a set of applications for email, contacts, calendars, media and documents. It integrates message streams from [[Google Mail]], [[Hotmail]], [[Facebook]], [[Twitter]] and [[LinkedIn]], and can be used as an alternative with integrated functionality similar to [[Microsoft Exchange Server]] and [[Office 365]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.de/88234893/open-xchange-app-suite-als-alternative-zu-exchange-und-office-365/|title=Open-Xchange App Suite als Alternative zu Exchange und Office 365|last=Joos|first=Thomas|date=2015-05-18|website=[[ZDNet]].de|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|language=German|trans-title=Open-Xchange as an alternative to Exchange and Office 365|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2018-03-05}}</ref>
