Corporate EMail Server

For many enterprises having your own mail server with mail stored in a central location for easy backup and follow up on customer queries is an important requirement. Our solution includes the software and, optionally hardware (See belw for pricing). Usually small businesses' have their email hosted at their service provider. This has several disadvantages.

• The hosting company's email servers are usually pop servers and all mail is removed from the server once downloaded to local machines. Thus you loose the ability to access mails centrally to follow up on customer queries or absent employees,
• There is limited control over virus checking as each client machine needs to be configured to scan emails and kept up to date with the latest definitions,
• EMails are now disbursed across the organisation making backup of emails almost impossible,
• Sometimes members of a team need to access the email of an employee who is on leave or sick. When the email is stored on their desktop pcs this can be difficult. Especially if the email has been deleted.
• There is no central address book for customer email addresses. Every time someone needs to send an email time is wasted looking for the correct address. Even worse email is sent to the wrong address and this is only detected days later.
