Mycom Group Secures Strategic Alliance Agreement With Process Software

Posted on: Wednesday, 7 July 2004, 06:00 CDT

Mycom Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO), a technology products, managed services, and software development company, has secured a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Process Software for their private label marketing of Mycom's email and virus filtering service technology. Process Software is owned by Platinum Equity, LLC, one of the largest and fastest growing privately held IT companies in the United States.

Process Software is a premier, worldwide, supplier of infrastructure software solutions to mission critical environments. Process serves thousands of customers including many Global 2000 and Fortune 1000 companies. Process intends to market the Mycom technology globally under the PreciseMail brand name, which includes a broader range of enterprise messaging products and services. "We are pleased to be offering a premier mail filtering service. It complements our email software product suite by giving customers the option to filter unwanted mail with minimal effort by the IT staff. It also requires no additional investment in systems or maintenance," said Brian P. McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer for Process Software.

Terms of the agreement were undisclosed, but Mycom's President and COO, Jim Bobbitt indicated, "The contract with Process Software should provide a very positive step for Mycom. Process has the customer base, expertise and marketing capability to quickly expand our email and virus filtering technology into many large international accounts."

Mycom is contracting its technology and service which scans both inbound and outbound email checking for viruses, harassing or inappropriate (pornographic) content, pictures, and attachments while blocking up to 98% of unwanted spam.

The new, more powerful, spam and virus filtering service, built by Mycom, operates on a highly secure Linux cluster. New and enhanced features include 60% faster processing time, the ability to create users and groups for each domain, greater granularity in spam filtering, an improved user interface, a summary notification option, an enhanced queue monitor and a bypass list for every setting.

It controls attachments, and oversized message delivery and provides unauthorized encryption detection. Address list and bypass list management is available and policy can be controlled by an administrator.

The technology employs a tiered approach to help combat the ever-changing and rapidly growing problem of spam. The approach consists of four tiers, working in concert and providing granular tailoring of the system to a client's specific needs.

Mycom markets the technology throughout North America as mycomPRO(TM) mailMAX II. View mailMAX II at www.mycompro.com
