1. Email is mission critical; everyone understands the power, reach and value
of email today. Yet, today, most businesses find themselves with email services
that are inherently inefficient and increasingly unproductive. The reasons are
ones that you may be familiar with, perhaps some of the very ones that have
brought you here today.
2. E-mail has changed. In the recent past, it was considered to be a trivial
exercise
for most businesses to operate their own Outsource Email. However, it is no longer
trivial. Managing an in-house Outsource Email consumes considerable amounts of
Network Administrator time and precious bandwidth. Even more critical, when a
business' E-mail service is interrupted, the costs of losing access to this
mission-critical business resource are enormous.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, many administrators are struggling to keep up with the ever-escalating
E-mail war of technology being waged to fend off the spammers. They often don't
have the proper tools to fully deal with the day-to-day management of their
in-house server. Then, when a major problem does occur, tempers flare between
users unable to do their jobs and the administrators struggling to deal with the
problems.
If E-mail is not your core business, perhaps Outsource Email to a company who
does specialize in E-mail solutions is the smart play. Consider the following:
Over 5 billion e-mail messages will be sent today by over 165 million workers in
the U. S. alone
Globally, the number is closer to 40 billion and rising at an annual rate of
about 16% a year.
It is estimated that over 95% of E-mail today is unwelcome (Spam, Viruses,
attacks, etc.)
80% of people surveyed* said they believe use of email is more valuable than the
phone for business communication
74% of people surveyed* regarded being without email as more of a hardship than
being without phone service
On average, businesses are dedicating 20% of their IT budgets each year to fight
spam, viruses, security breaches and phishing attacks, not to mention increasing
regulatory requirements
* based on a a META Group survey of senior IT executives and business managers
from over 400 companies
Some common symptoms of an overworked Outsource Email
Delays in delivering Email... or they end up missing altogether
You find your company's Outsource Email has been blacklisted by other servers and
your users can't send E-mail to certain locations until the administrators "fix"
it.
Hardware failures cause your company's E-mail service to be offline
Your users are frustrated their existing E-mail tools are progressive
There are consistent delays in onboarding and offboarding employees
Security policy on our Outsource Email has not changed in years
So, if your business is like most who keep their email service in-house, you may
have your email, but not always and not the way you want it.
You can't be very efficient if you can't produce your product, and reliability
goes to the heart of the matter. An Osterman Research study found that system
uptime was rated the top priority by system respondents; yet, the same survey
reported that the average and median downtimes of 229 and 45 minutes,
respectively, were deemed "unacceptable". The reasons? Probably ones you know:
server crashes, loss of connectivity, denial of service attacks were among those
most mentioned.
Outsource Email your corporate email services to a premium service provider can
afford you substantial improvements in these critical categories for many
reasons, not the least of which is that one person will only have to wear one
hat, liaison to the email service provider, freeing up other people and
resources in the enterprise, which could start contributing immediately to
greater efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness.
