A bunch of us in the office are also big-time basketball fans, and the other day as we began to place or picks for the 2008 NCAA basketball tournaments, we noticed a recurring theme - a lot of the teams playing in the tournament are also
Zimbra customers!
All in all, there are 11 customer schools competing in the D-1 Men's tournament, making almost 20% of the schools in the tournament Zimbra customers. With 10 schools competing in the Women's D-1 tournament - it seems that at least one of the schools which run Zimbra Collaboration Suite will be destined for victory!
We noticed a few new Zimbra customers with campus-wide deployments participating in the big dance this year: Texas A & M - a 9 seed in the Men's West and a 2 seed for Women - has 80,000 mailboxes for students, faculty and staff. Georgia Tech - a 10 seed for Women - has over 60,000 mailboxes for students, faculty and staff (sorry Georgia Tech Men)!
Other campus wide and departmental deployment customers we are pulling for include: number 1 seeds UCLA and University of North Carolina (departmental); 2 seed University of Texas (departmental); 3 seed Wisconsin in the Midwest (alumni association); and sentimental favorite 16 seed Bucknell (campus).
Rounding out the crew are many formidable teams such as University of Miami and Mississippi State (7 and 8 seeds in the Men's South); Indiana (8 seed in the East), Vanderbilt (a 4 seed in both tournaments), Michigan State (5 seed Men's South) as well as numerous schools competing in the Women's tournament - including Iowa State, Rutgers, and Ohio State.
We want to wish all our customers the best of luck in bringing home the national championship!
