Today, messaging solutions, including email, are a critical component of business. Loss of communications and messaging capability can translate into lost revenue, lost customers, inability to perform work, and, at minimum, idle and unproductive employees. Email is never free, because the cost of downtime for a 'good enough' solution can be crippling. Furthermore, our business-class messaging solution offers far more than just email. It includes:
- Contact lists that all employees can view, share, and edit regardless of location
- The ability for employees to schedule meetings, events, and resources by viewing every other employee's current schedules and commitments
- Shared folders and document repositories that all employees can access regardless of location
- Blackberry and Microsoft ActiveSync mobile solutions that enable employees to access emails, calendars, contacts, and tasks wherever they are
- Advanced anti-spam and anti-virus protection to eliminate the annoyance of unwanted emails and the risk of downtime
- Comprehensive archiving and backup solutions to protect critical business emails, contacts, and data
So while business-class messaging does cost a fixed price per user per month, the value in terms of employee productivity and efficiency far outweighs the predictable monthly cost.
