SAPO / Portugal Telecom: from daily outages to "the enterprise-class king."
SAPO, Portugal's largest ISP (owned by Portugal Telecom), had a large messaging community but their existing server caused daily outages. "Pedro Melo, technical consultant at SAPO, explains: "We had daily interruptions in service, which were costing us customers. We worked with the existing supplier for quite a long time, but it just got to the point when we couldn't put up with the costs and problems any longer."
ProcessOne helped SAPO migrate to ejabberd in less than two months. "ProcessOne was extremely helpful," says Melo. "The team provided us with good advice and support and always reacted quickly if we had any issues."
SAPO went from daily outages to rock-solid stability. Celso Martinho, CTO of SAPO: "Using open source software enables us to be innovative, flexible and reactive in a global market." And Pedro Melo's assessment is now famous in the ejabberd community: "ejabberd is the enterprise-class, large-scale deployment king."
