Messaging Architects Becomes Sole Provider of Managed Services to GroupWise Users

Posted on: Monday, 2 March 2009, 05:15 CST

Cost-Effective Solution Guarantees Both Email Security and 100% Uptime

MONTREAL, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Messaging Architects, the experts in email risk management and compliance, today announced a new Managed Services offering to help clients mitigate against the growing risks to their email infrastructure. This new, cost-effective hybrid service helps organizations leverage messaging expertise and industry best practices to ensure 100% compliance and uptime without the expense and complexity of traditional outsourcing.

The Managed Services offering is designed to maximize email continuity for enterprise customers. By taking over the comprehensive maintenance of their corporate email system, Messaging Architects' risk management experts will enable organizations to effectively address email security and archiving concerns and avoid costs related to litigation, internal audits, or access to information requests.

"Organizations can't afford to have their email system be down. Even minutes of unplanned downtime can have a huge financial impact in terms of lost business and productivity," said Pierre Chamberland, CEO and founder of Messaging Architects. "Nor can they afford to have confidential data stolen or leaked, which is always a threat, given that over 75% of a company's business decisions and supporting documents flow through its email system."

According to a report by Forrester Research, 42% of surveyed organizations think email is getting too expensive to manage. This is driving more businesses to look for alternatives to traditional in-house management of their email systems. Through an agreement with Novell, Messaging Architects is now the only company to provide a Managed Services solution for GroupWise users, ensuring the needs of these users are met with superior engineering expertise.

Available on-site or remotely, the mandate of the new Managed Services division is to maximize client's email system performance and availability, set up effective email scanning and data-leak prevention, automate email archiving, and ensure compliance with record retention laws. The division is already managing the email infrastructure of several enterprise customers, including Compass Bank and Worthington Industries.

"We are very satisfied by having Messaging Architects provide managed services for our collaboration environment," said Tom Blanchard, Director of IM Operations at Worthington Industries. "Their in-depth knowledge of GroupWise and their proven track record of dedicated client service assures us we are getting the protection and uptime reliability we need to be successful."
