The Problem Overview
- Large Capital Outlay – In-house email hosting solutions require large initial capital outlay and dedicated staff to implement, maintain and upgrade
- Extensive Maintenance - In-house solutions require extensive maintenance to remain properly functioning with the appropriate amount of up-time
- Complexity - Enterprise-class solutions are too complex, too costly, and too risky to implement for small and medium sized businesses
- Wireless Mobility – Mobility is becoming a necessary business function but it isn’t cost effective to have a dedicated solution for a small number of users on an in-house email solution
More and more, companies rely on email for their mission-critical communication. As the demand for and use of email increases, user expectations are also increasing. People expect rich, efficient and secure access to email, calendars, attachments, contacts, and more - regardless of location or type of device being used. Satisfying these requirements is beyond the scope of basic email systems so companies of all sizes are evaluating Enterprise-class solutions, only to discover that the technology is complex, the cost is high, and the risks are numerous. That is why more and more companies are turning to us for their messaging and collaboration needs.
