IBM to buy Outblaze

Author: Bernd Hölzner

Back in February 2005, DLD friend Yat Siu was one of the speakers at the first DLD conference in Munich's Nymphenburg Castle and presented his e-mail and messaging company Outblaze. This week IBM has announced its intention to acquire strategic assets of his Hong Kong based company. The Outblaze messaging service will be part of IBM Lotus' Project "Bluehouse." "Bluehouse" is IBM's online social networking and collaboration service designed for business and currently in open beta. With more than 10 years of experience, Outblaze was one of the first companies to offer a fully hosted multilingual e-mail service and now supports over 40 million users. Congrats, Yat!
