Universities would seem like a good target market to me. There's privacy requirements (student grades shouldn't leave the premises!), there's a need for fine-grained access control, there's a need for easy to use file sharing, calendaring, and for hosting faculty- or student-developed apps in an environment where it's hard to impose a single OS or enterprise-y software.
