< Return to LinuxWorld Open Solutions Summit main page

Moving from a small business to a medium business can be a challenge, especially in online retail. Backcountry.com, the second largest online outdoor retailer, recently underwent a growth spurt, moving from a staff of a few dozen employees to hundreds of employees. With this rapid growth, however, came a new set of challenges, particularly in collaboration. Learn how Backcountry.com CTO, Dave Jenkins, has leveraged open source solutions to combat some of the most frustrating challenges in collaboration at a price tag a growing business can afford. In this session Dave and an executive from Zimbra will explore how deploying the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, Asterisk and MySQL can greatly improve collaboration for retailers.
