Why outsource your
e-mail?
E-mail used to be fairly easy and predictable, but
no more – the “simplistic” function of email
has evolved and now is quite “complex”. Between
spam and viruses, e-mail management has become a time and
money sink.

Some Points to ponder
Think you are not paying for your e-mail now? Look
closely at your to-do list:
- Managing Users
-
Updating spam filters – try
managing that for a 500+ user environment
-
Users signing up for mailing list
– and then leaving your organization
- Building Black (Deny) and White (Accept) Lists
-
Buying virus protection – is
it up-to-date? What happens when a new virus/worm is released
but no antivirus is available for it?
-
Single-point of failure? What’s
your back strategy for your communication links? And hardware/software
crash?
- Localized Back-up Mail Server?
- Remote Back-up Mail Server?
- Logs for all in-coming & out-going emails
-
Logs for all web-based access –
and making sense of this all
-
How much email account for in terms
of bandwidth with all the spam, junk and viral email that
arrives at your network?
-
How much does this bandwidth cost
you?
Are your employees still trading in funny home-videos
they downloaded from the network? A 1 minute video file
can be as long as 12MB.
-
Are Viagra messages still on your
PC every time you open your email client?
-
Can you recall the last time email
services was down in your company? Try experiencing that
four-times a year (minimum) – what do four days
of no-mail cost you?
-
What/where is your strategy plan to
stop proliferation of viruses into your network originating
from an email?
-
Can your network handle a flood of
60,000 attack emails an hour – originating from
over 500 different IP addresses? How will you handle this
all?
-
Who do you blame for all this? Considering
you are the one who did not invest in email infrastructure/support
or axed a cut in their budget?
-
What if your system administrators
were to leave you today? Who would know the intricacies
of your system? Who has logged them to the minutest detail?
These are just some of the issues your organization
should be thinking of and addressing. As if this was not enough,
hosting your own e-mail server costs money. Security Patch
headaches alone may be worth outsourcing your e-mail servers.
One answer is outsourcing, and we at Net
Access would be happy to manage your e-mail for you.
Outsourcing all or just a portion of your
e-mail functions makes sense for a lot of reasons. First,
because e-mail outsourcing companies like ourselves are experts
in their field, our services are highly reliable.
If the e-mail server goes down or you're
the victim of a spam attack, the we are there to clean up
the mess.
If you're growing fast, it's the company's
job to make sure your e-mail system keeps up with the demand.
Although you may be required to perform general maintenance
tasks, like adding new e-mail users, this can be done easily
and often using only your Web browser or even send an e-mail
to have that done.
Secondly, e-mail outsourcing is cost-efficient.
Companies do not need to invest in expensive
hardware and software such as servers, routers, high-end e-mail
programs, licensing & upgrades to licenses, network, server
& application administrators, certification, 24-7 staff,
etc.. E-mail outsourcing offer economies of scale you simply
can't get on your own.
Utilize our already redundant network with
multiple off-site locations to take care of your emailing
needs. We guarantee your emails will never be lost.
Moreover, these solutions work well for
companies that already have existing e-mail systems but don't
want to waste their IT resources on managing them any-more.
Simply change your MX (Mail Record) in your DNS Entry to us,
and let us filter, manage, sort and route email for you. The
change is transparent and effortless – without any added
investment on your part. Taking this route may give you more
time you can dedicate to growing your business or focusing
on other, profit-centered IT projects, such as e-commerce.
Why would you want
to outsource your e-mail when you are already are managing
it in-house?
(a). Security Management - Security expertise from
specialists beats trying to add spam and virus products to
clients and servers, and keeping them all updated. If a virus
gets through a specific filtering add-on service, you be rest
assured we will be responsible.
(b). Better Time Management –
E-mail outsourcing can save a lot of precious time which could
be effectively used in concentrating on your core business
and making profits. If all your users handle their
own spam filters, virus controls and address books, they’re
wasting a lot of time. Server-based systems for spam and virus
filtering mean only one person needs to update the spam rules
and virus signatures for your entire company. A single address
book means new or modified addresses are available to everyone,
not just the one person who updated a customer record.
