1.  Hosted Exchange price cut cranks up the thumbscrews on partners, providers and competitors

InformationWeek and the VARGuy report on the heavy price cuts Microsoft
just announced on their hosted "BPOS" offerings. MS Exchange drops from
$10 to $5 per user, per month, the whole suite from $15 to $10, space goes
up from 5 to 25 GB. Now what does that mean to channel partners,
service providers and all the other players in this market? Trouble!

2. Open-Xchange and SugarCRM Partner to Combine Open Source Collaboration/CRM Efforts

Open-Xchange and SugarCRM announced a cooperation to integrate data from
SugarCRM and Open-Xchange collaboration software. The integration enables
users to gather and aggregate data from their social network profiles such
as Facebook, LinkedIn and Xing, as well as their SugarCRM application, to
store it in an Open-Xchange address book as well as share it with others.
This information can then be moved to the SugarCRM application. In addition,
the SugarCRM data imported into Open-Xchange can be accessed from smartphones,
or published to the Internet.
