123Together.com Eliminates Customer Setup Fees for Its Hosted Exchange Service

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as 123Together, Press Releases

 Small and mid-size businesses can decrease expenses, increase productivity and remain profitable despite the current economic crisis with hosted messaging and collaboration solutions. -

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts – November 10, 2008 – 123Together.com – a mindSHIFT Technologies company and the leading provider of hosted enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solutions such as hosted Exchange Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 — today announced that it has eliminated setup fees for all new customers who sign up for its hosted Exchange Server service, available immediately.

“Our goal is to help businesses of all sizes remain profitable despite the current economic downturn,” said Ravi Agarwal, founder and Senior Executive Officer of 123Together.com, a mindSHIFT company. “By eliminating all setup fees for our hosted Exchange Server services, we make it possible for businesses, regardless of their size, to make use of the functionality that this industry-leading, enterprise-class messaging and collaboration application provides without having to incur significant financial expenses or hire additional personnel.”

As a result of the current economic downturn, many small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) are required to decrease overhead, cut operational costs and reallocate existing funds to get the most value from every dollar they spend. At the same time, business owners expect increased productivity and efficiency among their existing employees, with additional human and financial resources unlikely or impossible.

The economic climate has forced SMBs to search for more cost-effective alternatives for critical business applications, such as email, to maximize the effectiveness of existing business resources without having to incur any additional expenses. Hosted software services such as 123Together.com’s hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 have become viable alternatives to in-house email server deployment and can be utilized in exactly the same manner as the in-house application but at a significantly reduced cost.

In order to assist businesses even further and help their employees remain productive, 123Together.com has eliminated the setup fee requirement for all shared and dedicated hosted Exchange packages and any additional mailboxes activated through the month of November 2008.

Many SMBs do not have the financial or human resources or even the time necessary to deploy Microsoft Exchange Server in-house, as it requires significant investments in hardware and software, training and hiring of IT personnel, as well as around-the-clock server maintenance, monitoring and upgrades. 123Together.com’s new special offer makes it possible for SMBs to reap the same benefits from this industry-leading email application as most Fortune 500 companies but at a significantly reduced cost. It provides employees with anytime, anywhere access to their business e-mail no matter where they may be, as well as 2-way wireless synchronization of mail, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with most mobile devices, including BlackBerry and Apple iPhone 3G.

In addition, 123Together.com offers 24×7 live U.S.-based technical support and 24×7 server maintenance, monitoring and upgrades, enabling businesses without an internal technical staff to profit from this service. All hosted Exchange users also receive free Outlook 2007.

123Together.com’s offer of no setup fees on all of its hosted Exchange packages is available immediately and continues through the end of November 2008.

Headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, 123Together.com, a mindSHIFT company, is the leading provider of hosted enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solutions including hosted Microsoft Exchange Server, Windows SharePoint Services and Dynamics CRM.

LiveOffice Announces Bailout Plan for Failed On-Premise Email Archiving Deployments

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as LiveOffice, Press Releases

Troubled Archive Relief Program (TARP) Helps Offload Email Archiving Management to the Cloud

New no-hardware service helps SMBs disaster-proof their internal mail servers

TORRANCE, Calif., November 4, 2008 – LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service(SaaS), email hosting, email archiving and email continuity solutions, today launched the Troubled Archive Relief Program (TARP), a combination of products and services designed to provide relief to the hundreds of organizations currently struggling to deploy and manage on-premise email archiving products. The LiveOffice TARP program enables organizations to realize the mailbox management, compliance and e-discovery benefits that initially drove them to implement email archiving, while offloading the management of the archive to LiveOffice’s cloud-computing infrastructure.

According to industry research firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), roughly 33% of North American companies have deployed email archiving solutions to help them cost effectively retain more information, comply with record retention regulations and expedite electronic discovery processes. [1]“Email archiving offers a variety of attainable benefits and is imperative when it comes to effective message management today, which is why we expect the adoption of it to continually grow,” said Brian Babineau, senior analyst with ESG. “The challenge for many organizations without a solution in place is choosing between SaaS and on-premise email archiving options, while existing email archive customers must determine whether to continue with their on-premise archiving or move to a SaaS offering. Each business has to make its own choice, but our goal is to make sure decision makers are guided to a solution that best meets their specific needs.”

TARP Launch Event

To mark the official launch of TARP, LiveOffice is hosting a complimentary webinar entitled, “On-Premise versus Hosted Email Archiving Solutions,” tomorrow at 10 a.m. PST. Industry Analyst Brian Babineau of ESG and CEO Nick Mehta of LiveOffice will explore the evolution and benefits of email archiving, discuss the “new” archiving decision and outline the total cost of ownership for on-premise versus hosted email archiving solutions. To attend this event, please register at:https://liveofficeevents.webex.com/liveofficeevents/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=666833329 .

TARP Bailout Package

While on-premise archives provide significant functionality, companies with limited IT staff and budget constraints often struggle to successfully deploy and manage these products. To rescue companies overwhelmed by on-premise deployments, as well as those struggling to make the choice between on-premise and software-as-a-service (SaaS) email archiving solutions, LiveOffice has assembled a comprehensive bailout package, including:

  • Online TCO Calculator: Available at no cost, LiveOffice’s fully interactive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator asks users for responses to four simple questions, which are then run through a series of formulas to produce a customized report in just seconds. The resulting document provides an item-level cost comparison on what an organization can expect to spend for an on-premise versus SaaS email archiving solution. The assumptions behind the model are based on actual hardware, software, setup and ongoing maintenance costs as well as industry best practices.
  • ESG Information Management Brief on LiveOffice TCO Calculator: Not all vendor-generated TCO calculators are created equal. This brief, written by widely respected research firm ESG, provides third-party validation of LiveOffice’s TCO model and confirms its accuracy.
  • Whitepaper – 24 Things to Consider Before Choosing an Email Archiving Solution: This thorough report offers helpful advice on some of the management activities customers need to be ready for when deploying an on-premise email archiving solution as well as what to expect with a SaaS alternative.
  • Free Trial of LiveOffice’s SaaS Email Archiving Solutions: Companies exploring SaaS email archiving are encouraged to test drive the LiveOffice archiving service that best meets their needs during a 14-day, no-strings-attached trial.
  • On-Site Visit from LiveOffice’s TARP Team: LiveOffice has assembled a veteran team of archiving professionals prepared to visit companies with troubled archiving deployments, assess their current situation and provide a recommendation on how best to maximize their email archiving investment moving forward.
  • On-Premise Migration Services: LiveOffice has partnered with Procedo, a leading provider of data archive migration services, to provide special discount pricing for companies wishing to migrate their legacy email data to one of LiveOffice’s SaaS email archiving solutions.

“Many organizations are quickly realizing that their current on-premise solution isn’t satisfying their changing needs or the lengthy, resource-intense deployment is proving too costly,” said Joseph Kvidera, CEO of Procedo. “Adding insult to injury, they feel stuck because they dread the cost, complexity and risk of do-it-yourself data migration. That’s where we can help. Our partnership with LiveOffice provides these companies with a comprehensive approach to legacy data migration and means that they can be up and running on their new SaaS email archiving system in just days.”

Ms. Al-Hasso was recognized for her excellence in strategic planning and tactical leadership while executing a complete overhaul of the Apptix brand.

“It is a tremendous honor to have been named a finalist for a Stevie Award,” said Al-Hasso. “This privilege would not have been possible without the support of—and partnership with—a highly-skilled and extremely creative team, who executed our corporate initiatives flawlessly. Together, we redefined the Apptix brand into a recognizable IT industry force, of which I am incredibly proud.”

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word “crowned,” winners will be announced during a gala event at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York on Friday, November 14. Nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from the U.S. and several other countries are expected to attend.

LightEdge Enhances Voice-over-IP Service with Major Upgrade

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as LightEdge Solutions, Press Releases

DES MOINES, IA, October 30, 2008 – LightEdge, the leading hosted services partner dedicated to the full breadth of communications and IT needs for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), today announced a full voice platform upgrade to refresh hardware and enable new features for business customers by updating the softswitch application. This infrastructure overhaul will allow LightEdge to continue growing its voice service customer base and will serve the future of the company through an inherently scalable engineering design.

“This initiative is really a testament to our commitment to driving service levels and functionality by implementing cutting-edge technology,” Jeff Springborn, president and COO of LightEdge. “Through the upgrade, our Voice-over-IP customers will begin to receive valuable new calling features without any additional costs. Continuous evolution is one of the big advantages of a hosted voice system.”

Several new voice features will become available through the initial platform, with additional features released to customers over the next six months.

Busy Lamp Field - Displays a call state indicator on the handset for users that are being monitored.
Call Forward (Not Reachable) - This is an essential business continuity feature for automating call forwarding in a crisis situation. If the platform can’t connect with an office because of a line cut, power loss or other outage the call will automatically be rerouted to a predetermined alternate phone number.
Diversion Inhibitor - Can be used in conjunction with any Call Forwarding service to ensure that call goes to voice mail after the appropriate number of rings rather than continuing to ring an alternate phone.
Updated Receptionist Console – A new look and feel to the receptionist console allows front office staff to quickly see the activity state of users on the phone system to efficiently manage and distribute all incoming calls.
Updated Advanced Voice Solutions Integrated Toolbar - Allows users to access voice features from a toolbar within Outlook or Internet Explorer.
“At a time when the benefits of Voice-over-IP are resonating in the market, we are re-investing in our voice platform to ensure that we continue to have the highest level of service and leading feature-set available,” remarked Mike McHenry, Director of Product Development for LightEdge. “Our product development team has developed a great deal of momentum through the past six months and will soon be working to further integrate voice into our other communications offerings. Competitively, this puts LightEdge in an enviable position.”

The next development milestone for the LightEdge AVS platform is to integrate the voice platform with the hosted communication and collaboration applications within the “LightEdge Connected Office” suite. This will allow voice functionality from within Microsoft Communicator and presence indicators in Exchange, SharePoint and Communicator. Full integration is expected by Q1 2009.

Intermedia and Wrike Launch Free Exchange/Outlook Contacts Sync for T-mobile G1 Smartphone to Connect Early Enterprise Adopters

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as Intermedia, Press Releases

ContactSync to Sync G1 with Microsoft Exchange Server

New York, NY (October 20, 2008) - Intermedia, the leading provider of collaboration and productivity SaaS solutions, and Wrike, the leading provider of on-demand project management software for small and midsize companies, today jointly announce the immediate availability of ContactSync, a free wireless contacts synchronization tool for the new T-mobile G1 smartphone. Available to all Microsoft Exchange users—including those not currently Intermedia or Wrike customers—this application enables users to wirelessly sync their Exchange/Outlook contacts to their G1 smartphone address book.

While the new G1 smartphone, based on Google’s new Android mobile operating system, brings more choice to the touch-screen phone market, the phone lacks connectivity to mainstream business applications, including Microsoft Exchange, for wireless synchronization of email, calendars and contacts which everyday users are demanding. A recent Intermedia survey reveals that 92% of end-users access business email on their mobile devices thus exhibiting the overwhelming need for enterprise access on a mobile device.

ContactSync from Intermedia and Wrike eliminates a major user challenge by providing a direct, wireless connection between the G1 and a user’s Exchange contacts, enabling the user to easily download all of their contacts to their phone for free. The G1 itself is designed to sync only with Google apps, otherwise forcing users to use their personal Gmail accounts to access business data on the phone.

“As developers of email-integrated project management solutions, we understand the importance of maximizing the collaborative capabilities across as many devices as possible,” said Andrew Filev, CEO of Wrike.

“At Intermedia, we have a tradition of providing customers with as much choice as possible in the clients and mobile devices they use to access our hosted Exchange and other SaaS applications,” said Serguei Sofinski, CEO for Intermedia. “In the footsteps of our BlackBerry and iPhone offerings, we have partnered with Wrike to develop and distribute this critical communication application so that users of any Exchange server, including Intermedia’s hosted Exchange customers, can begin integrating the G1 phone into their business communications.”

ContactSync provides one-way only wireless download of Exchange contacts to the G1 phone’s address book. The application is immediately available for free download to all users of Microsoft Exchange and can be found on both the Intermedia and Wrike web sites respectively at www.wrike.com/g1-exchange-sync.html and http://www.intermedia.net/G1

Intermedia Eliminates Cost of Switching to Hosted Microsoft Exchange to Help Businesses Weather Credit Crisis

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as Intermedia, Press Releases

Free Account Set Up and First Month’s fees waived on all Intermedia hosted Exchange solutions while Dow Jones Industrials Average remains below 10,000

New York, NY (October 20, 2008) - Intermedia, the leading provider of collaboration and productivity SaaS solutions, today announces the immediate availability of its Dow Jones 10,000 program, which offers free account set up and one month of free service to any new hosted Exchange customers until the Dow closes above 10,000. Intermedia’s special program comes in direct response to the pain businesses have recently experienced trying to secure funding or lines of credit for capital expenditures, such as new hardware and software used to manage and promote company growth.

Many businesses acquire on-premise technology, including hardware and software, through a bank loan, line of credit, or capital lease. With the current economic crisis, access to financing for these types of purchases has become increasingly difficult. For both technological and business reasons, Intermedia firmly believes that many businesses are better served, both in the near- and long-term, by hosted solutions.

“Intermedia’s program is designed to help businesses of any size gain access to the benefits of enterprise-class messaging and collaboration solutions they would not be able to procure without financing, without any upfront investment,” said Intermedia CEO Serguei Sofinski. “Our month-to-month contracts give businesses the flexibility they need to add and remove services on-demand, without any risky long-term investments.”

Intermedia’s program, available immediately, offers businesses free set up, and one month of free service on all of its small business and enterprise shared hosted Exchange SaaS plans. This program will remain active until the Dow Jones Industrials Average reaches a weekly average of 10,000, or until December 31, 2008, which ever event comes first.

Ceryx Releases High Availability, Hosted Exchange 2007 Offering in the Wake of Data Center Failures

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as Ceryx, Press Releases

TORONTO, October 16, 2008 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft(R) Exchange and messaging solutions, today announced the release of their high availability Messaging solution built on Exchange 2007 and Windows Server 2008. With this release Ceryx will be the first in the world to use this technology for clustering over a wide area network, stretching from Toronto to New York.

Ceryx, who operate data centers in both cities, have been providing their replicated solution on Exchange 2003 to medium and large businesses since 2004. Microsoft Exchange data is replicated in real-time to the secondary facility, providing 100% availability. In this recent release Ceryx is continuing to enhance the reliability of this technology to address what they see as major vulnerabilities in single data center deployments.

“We operate on the premise that even the best data center can and will experience failure due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control,” says Dr. David Penny, CIO at Ceryx. “We focus our Research and Development on keeping the application highly available and rely on our replication technology to mitigate the vulnerabilities that exist on an individual data center level.”

In a recently released white paper, Ceryx examines numerous instances of high-profile single data center failures over the past year. Failures experienced by RackSpace, The Planet, Google and Pier 1 in Vancouver, to name just a few, have caused extended outages with high costs to businesses running mission-critical applications. The white paper entitled, “Force Majeure: Understanding and Managing the Risk of Data Center Failure”, cites numerous reasons for these outages, including accidents and power-grid outages that fall outside the control of individual data center operators.

Through geographic clustering, using Microsoft Windows(R) Server 2008 and native Microsoft Exchange 2007 CCR (Cluster Continuous Replication) technology, Ceryx has been able to eliminate the reliance of redundant servers on the same set of disks thereby eliminating a common single point of failure and providing an extra layer of redundancy to their replicated solution.

For Bill Fife, Director of Technology at Wholesale Electric, high availability was a critical consideration when selecting a Hosted Exchange provider for its 300 employees. “A primary concern of ours, especially since the devastating Hurricanes in 2005, has been to protect messaging and ensure reliability during times of disaster. Since some of our busiest times are immediately after natural disasters - when people are trying to repair damage and restore electricity - any type of outage is simply unacceptable.”

Roger Smith, V.P. of Operations at Ceryx, feels there is a disconnect between those executives demanding high availability and the commitment required to deliver. “When you present the facts, it becomes clear to everyone that an in-house data center couldn’t possibly provide the levels of redundancy required and even on a co-location level we would need redundancy.”

The white paper also examines other common reasons for outages, including software failure, data corruption and other areas where redundancy either didn’t exist or failed. The recent software release by Ceryx continues to refine their replication and clustering technology as it relates to the highly complex Microsoft Exchange 2007 architecture.

The paper concludes that the only way to ensure high availability for mission critical-applications is by utilizing replication over multiple data centers. The white paper is available for download at http://www.ceryx.com/datacenter/

LightEdge Launches Hosted Microsoft Exchange and Mobility Access Services

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as LightEdge Solutions, Press Releases

Hosted offering gives small and medium-sized businesses access to mobile communication and collaboration services through a cost-effective Scale-on-Demand model

DES MOINES, IA, October 7, 2008 – LightEdge Solutions, the leading hosted services partner dedicated to the full breadth of communications and IT needs for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), announced today the launch of a new Hosted Microsoft Exchange 2007 platform. This fully redundant platform will enable SMBs to implement a mobile Exchange environment for their employees in a simple, hosted scale-on-demand model rather than an expensive and time-consuming on-premise implementation.

Microsoft Exchange, the dominant application for delivering corporate e-mail, personal and corporate calendars, task lists and contacts in enterprise settings, has been deemed too difficult and too expensive for most small businesses. This offering from LightEdge levels the playing field for the SMB by giving businesses of all sizes access to the communication and productivity tools in Microsoft Exchange in a monthly, “per-mailbox” fee structure that emphasizes the benefits of the service rather than owning and depreciating corporate infrastructure.

“We think that the timing of this offering couldn’t be more perfect,” said Jim Masterson, chairman and CEO of LightEdge Solutions. “Businesses fully understand the benefits of Exchange and access to Exchange from mobile phone, but the present economy is forcing business owners to rethink capital purchases. Given the instability in the market, Hosted Exchange really is the best option for businesses that are either ready to adopt Exchange or migrate from a legacy in-house implementation.”

Hosted Exchange customers can utilize the features of Exchange over their corporate network using Outlook 2007, securely over the Internet with Outlook Web Access or on a mobile device through BlackBerry Mobility Services or Microsoft ActiveSync. This anytime, anywhere access allows busy employees to feel connected wherever they roam during their business day and after-hours.

LightEdge is currently offering three services levels including a simplified Outlook Web Access level, as well as 2 GB and 4 GB Full Exchange seats. Customer can learn more and sign-up for a free 30-day trial by visiting http:www.lightedge.com/exchange.

Share Watch: Hot-desking company could be hot property

Posted by Exchange Hosting Reviews as Nasstar, Press Releases

Financial Times, By Philip Stafford

Aim-listed Nasstar is effectively a bet on a future trend in computing. It is developing a hosted desktop, whereby customers can access all their desktop applications through the internet, rather than have companies spend cash on their own IT servers and systems. This is a trend that Google and Microsoft are both betting on. This week, Nasstar’s technology was recognised as “Business Application of the Year” at the CNET Networks UK Business Awards and in September it won a four-year deal from Allied Healthcare. House broker Ambrian is now forecasting full-year revenue to March 31 to double to £2.2m with a pre-tax losses narrowing from £348,000 to £18,000. The absence of a profit warning this week also suggests Nasstar has met interim expectations. Its shares have dropped 30 per cent in the last three months, but its technology may make it a takeover target for a big company looking for a route into a fast-growing market.
