The Italian company Zextras began its history as a Zimbra integrator in Europe. Europeans liked the Zimbra collaboration system, but many of them stated that the functionality of the open-source version was not enough, and the functionality of the commercial version of the "Zimbra Network Edition" was excessive, and that it would be nice to have a middle version, where there would be fewer functions, but also the price would also be reduced. To meet these wishes, the Zextras Suite product was created - for the free version of Zimbra OSE, due to which it was possible to add some of the functions of the commercial version to the free version of Zimbra and not overpay much for it.
