Products and Services - Email
Email communication has become the lifeblood of modern organisations.
Unfortunately, the solutions that deliver this vital service are becoming more complex to manage and the volume of computing resource and IT staffing resource required in order to do so is on the increase.
Add to this new fiduciary responsibilities that come with ensuring confidential information stored in and transferred over Email is hosted on fault tolerant hardware, as well as the reasonable that steps have been taken to safeguard against data loss and it’s not surprising that companies of all size are looking for a more flexible approach to managing their Email, calendaring and contacts.
With the resilient hardware and redundant connectivity available in its data centre, as well as its extensive experience in running modern IT environments, Altech Technology Concepts’ Managed Email services give organisations the ability to cost effectively manage the costs of their Email, contact and calendaring while retaining the peace of mind that all of their fiduciary responsibilities are taken care of.
Two options are on offer.
The first option (aptly named ‘Hosted Email’) is based on the open source groupware solution from ‘Zimbra’ and offers customers access to email, contacts, calendaring and document management that’s housed on a single unified platform and accessible both within their office and while on the road.
The service also integrates well with a number of consumer-grade services (Yahoo! Mail, Gmail etc.) and allows users access to information stored in a variety of third-party Email systems (in addition to Zimbra itself) through a native application, webmail interface or a mobile device, such as a smartphone.
It is compatible with the Windows, Apple and Linux environments and the most competitively priced option when it comes to providing end-to-end groupware services to an organisation, regardless of size.
The second option on offer is perfect for companies that are either looking to move an existing Microsoft Exchange environment into a hosted environment or need to leverage existing investments in other Microsoft technologies.
Altech Technology Concepts’ Hosted Exchange service eliminates the need for a company’s IT support staff to be trained on the management of a Microsoft Exchange environment, while at the same time removing the complexities surrounding tasks such as license management and the forward planning of infrastructure to support future growth.
The solution is furthermore designed for a high level of resilience and redundancy, and places on offer, a range of security, content and management features that don’t come standard with any other groupware solutions available today.
Since the Altech Technology Concepts’ Hosted Exchange service is defined on a per-mailbox basis, companies can scale the solution up or down as their needs dictate without any capital expenditure or impact on their in-house IT environment.
