Hi All:
Here is an interesting product you might be interested in for yourself or for your clients...It is the OX Application Suite, fully OSS. Similar to a Cloud based SharePoint that runs on all platforms.

"OX App Suite is a modular platform designed for Telco's, Hosters and Providers that delivers a wide range of cloud based services: services ranging from email, text, voice, video messaging, file sharing, collaboration, time management, storage solutions up to and including full integration with existing telephony systems."
This is just a start of what it can do. You can have it hosted on a public or on your own private Cloud. See OwnCloud.
