March 31, 2005 ? (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Managed Web hosting provider Fusepoint Managed Services (fusepoint.com) announced on Thursday that it had introduced managed services and Microsoft Exchange hosting for enterprises. Microsoft Exchange is a messaging system for business class email, public folders, calendaring and collaboration.
Fusepoint is offering two options: Dedicated Exchange Service and Hosted Exchange Service. The Dedicated Exchange Service is hosted on a dedicated platform, customizable and handles 500 plus email boxes. The Hosted Exchange Service handles 25-500 email boxes. The services are priced according to users and come with 24-hour monitoring, spam and content filtering, in addition to optimal mobile and Blackberry support.
"Email is now considered an essential business communications tool in any corporate environment, yet the cost to effectively manage and maintain the integrity and reliability of these systems comes with a price tag that extends beyond simple dollar value alone," says Robert Offley, president and CEO of Fusepoint Managed Services. "It takes ongoing investments in hardware, software, and staffing to keep pace with the growing number of security advisories, viruses, patches, and SPAM. Outsourcing Microsoft Exchange requirements under a 'software-as-a-service' model will not only save money, but also will free up internal IT resources for more strategic business activities."
