Welcome to the forums,

How about fill us in on your existing products/solutions.

Companies and schools make new zimlets every day to integrate with all sorts of existing databases. The simplest integration of course is just designed to pull up some content that changes frequently; and free people from having to open up another client just to get the basic status of something.

Think of all the possibilities...

-You could pull up a list of currently registered classes, (their times, locations, etc) with quick links to instructor email addresses. On the other hand you could go to full registration from within zimbra; from course descriptions, to class hours, open slots etc.

-Instead of logging onto a blackboard/webct product, students could get a list of their classmates & email addresses, announcements, due dates, etc, nicely sorted in zimbra.

-For the universities out there-show current meal plan/spending account dollar amounts: I'm not saying initially integrate purchasing more, but a zimlet could show the current remaining amount-and a link to purchase more would be sufficient. It could even highlight when there's say $x left on the plans to catch attention.

-Some integrate calendars for not only school & sports events but paid events to, like plays/theater etc - and the user is quickly taken to a purchase location if they need tickets.
