Yahoo scoops up Zimbra for $350 million
yahoo has been on an acquisition binge late, but mostly to expand its advertising business. Now Yahoo is buying its way deeper into the applications business with the acquisition of Zimbra for a reported $350 million, mostly in cash. Zimbra developed a leading edge, Web 2.0 open source messaging and collaboration software suite, with email, calendar, document processing and a spreadsheet.
“It’s a way to take Yahoo mail to new markets. Together wtih Yahoo content network our zimlets [the mechanism for integrating Zimbra with third-party systems and content as well as for creating mashups] come alive,” Dharmaraj said. “The Yahoo consumer email will continue as is. We may augment Yahoo Mail with our calendaring and with Zimlets, but right now the goal is to reach new markets.”
“Version 5.0 is coming out as planned and our roadmap is unchanged. Our unit will just be focused on delivering those platforms to those markets,”
