Integrated Branding/Customization Concept for Partners and Customers

With OX Sync App it is also possible for customers and partners to add branding elements to the app. During the installation of the app a user is presented with a list of preconfigured providers. When a provider is selected the app is automatically setup and branded for that provider.

• Confirmation that you are running OX App Suite 7.8.2 including the latest patch.
• A full URL where your OX App Suite service can be reached by a web client.
• Two test accounts on your OX App Suite service, where we can verify that the OX App Suite system works as expected.
• A “logo” and “name” of your service. This information will be used in the app itself.
• Optional: A preferred color (CI color) that Open-Xchange will use for the app if a user chooses their service from the provider list.
