TORONTO, February 24th, 2009 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft® Exchange, today announced that reseller TBayTel has transitioned over 450 of its employees from their on-premise Lotus Notes environment onto Ceryx’s Hosted Exchange platform.

TBayTel , the largest independent Telecommunications company in Canada, provides voice, data and wireless service to an area of Northern Ontario spanning over 300,000 square kilometers. Through DirectIT, a division of the company that provides managed IT services, the company has been a white-label reseller of Ceryx’s Hosted Exchange solution since 2007.

“Reselling the Ceryx Hosted Exchange and Collaboration solution made us recognize and believe in the strategic value of outsourcing,” says Angela Domansky Desserre, Vice President, DirectIT-Managed IT Services. “I was able to confidently make the case that outsourcing messaging, even for a mid-sized company like TBayTel, was not only more cost effective but would also deliver a higher level of service.”

Ceryx worked closely with TBayTel to provide tight integration with applications hosted on-site at TBayTel, including user synchronization between the Hosted Exchange environment and the Wallace Wireless™ Server being used for emergency BlackBerry communications.

“This is the ultimate endorsement of our product and company when one of our Telecommunications partners feels strongly enough about the solution to use it themselves,” says Gus Harsfai, CEO and President of Ceryx Inc. “For a company of this size to move off premise to a hosted solution indicates a strong belief in the value proposition behind outsourcing as well as the value of the Ceryx solution.”
