"ZOE for Everyone" - Concept Becomes Reality!!

As you will know Email is now considered the most important database in corporations. On the personal end it has also become critical to everyday communication. Email is a constantly growing database that gets more difficult to manage as time goes on. Storing, searching, retrieving emails is an expensive and time consuming everyday duty in corporations. The answer to this EMAIL HELL was a new concept called Email Archiving.

The Email Archiving Market is driven by compliance, electronic discovery and email server overloads: Vendors jumped in to solve the problems. Step-X was one of these vendors and in 2004, we took a cute little open source application called ZOE and built it into ZOE.professional.

Yes ZOE will solve the problems typically associated with Email Archiving pains namely Storage, Compliance & E-Discovery but i noticed that ZOE was much more........ Its simple to use, scales easily, works at google-speeds and needed a bigger audience who will appreciate its simplicity.

So one night i woke up in a sweat....went to my laptop and typed in my dream........"ZOE for Everyone!!!".

Ok, so the email archiving market is growing but will every email user in the world need an archive? No and Yes.

No...if the solution is focused on compliance, storage and e-discovery.

Yes...if the solution is focused on the 'EMAIL USER' themselves.

Why ZOE?? Well back in Open-Source days, ZOE was coined as "Google for your Email" (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2002/10/07/udell.html) and continues to have a good following among users. It was a simple, fast and likeable little app.

ZOE never lost these features, as we built it ready for the Enterprise Markets, we kept its simplicity and speed.

Bottom line ZOE.professional can be used by the everyday email user (consultant, college student, fireman...), and will also fit perfectly into the business community (CEO, Lawyer, Assistants...).

ZOE for Everyone is a simple idea that enables ZOE.professional to be deployed as a downloadable app on a laptop, a bootable USB key, a network appliance and of course the traditional software licenses.

ZOE's dream is to be on every email users screens helping them search through millions of emails at lightning speeds and retrieving information that is relevant to the EMAIL USER.

After all who really needs the emails...........? YOU the user.

ZOE will do storage, compliance and e-discovery (email archiving) in her sleep but to add to the icing on the cake...........it will do this for you!
