We love OpenExchange!! We are always on the road and constantly on location by our clients for projects and maintenance contracts. OpenExchange gave us the opportunity to communicate via the forum, knowledgebase, and mail. We can centralize patches and documentation. Our motto is "Why burn a CD when you can download it for free??" Everyone has access to the same documentation, at the same time, from the same place. Productivity is notably higher and there are fewer discussions over who did what, when and where - it is all there to read. No more handover procedures either - we utilize the knowledgebase for this. Bob did this and that at client Z, then goes on holidays for 2 weeks. John goes to the same client and checks Bob's notes from the last visit and knows globally what that particular situation is.
It is to seen that it still is a product that is fairly young in it's developement. Features are still being built and added to the current release. I am confident that SLOX has the potential to become a very slick product!!! Stability is amazing and the overall working with OpenExchange is very easy to learn and the response time is amazingly quick. A bit slower via dial-in but still quite impressive. We "went for" SLOX primarily because of the Web interface (no more mail clients and worldwide accessibility) and Linux reliability and stability. We've been running SLOX for almost a year and the only problem that we've had is one of the 6 HDD's gave up the ghost - thank goodnes for RAID!!! ;) Have a great day!!
