So what are the Benefits of an MSS Solution? Managing your own security is labour intensive, requires specialist skills and removes staff from their primary roles. Our Managed Security Services offer organisations total peace of mind whilst ensuring optimum performance levels at all times. 5 simple points put you in total comfort with premium services:
The correctly sourced Managed Service provides a robust, extensible email security platform with a common, web-based management interface ensuring: Accurate, Effective Threat Prevention: Keeping up with rapidly evolving email threats such as spam and viruses requires expertise and experience most organizations don't possess in-house. By choosing our managed service organizations gain a proven, preventive email security solution that eliminates spam, viruses, and blocks phishing attempts and email attacks before they can reach your email system. Reduced Risk & Complexity: The risk of failure grows with complexity. Purchasing anti-spam appliance/software products can lock customers into a solution that may or may not evolve to meet their needs. Once committed, customers must live with flaws or limitations since switching costs can be prohibitive. Our managed service operates outside the network, at the email boundary, and is compatible with any type of email environment. It is easy to activate and easy to use for both administrators and end users. Faster Time to Value: Deployment of appliance/software products can suffer from unanticipated impacts and additional costs that disrupt critical email operations and business activity. Few organizations can afford to wait weeks or even months for an effective email security solution. Our managed service can be activated in a matter of minutes with a simple modification to your DNS MX record. Our customers consistently remark on the dramatic reduction of junk email and threats as soon as the service is "turned on. Lower Total Cost of Ownership: As a managed service, we eliminate the internal administrative burden on your IT staff. There is no hardware or software to install, and no maintenance or updates to worry about. Choosing our solution frees your IT staff from time-consuming email administration and enables them to concentrate on tasks that help grow your businesses. Guaranteed Reliability: We provide a high level of service with a guaranteed 99.5% availability. In the unlikely event that the service fails to meet the guarantee levels, service credits are available. Fully Managed Migration: The migration of 1,000’s of customers to our Hosted Email service provides us with unparalleled knowledge and experience in smoothly migrating users. Migrations to the hosted service meet with the requirement for minimal disruption and ensure that we are able to meet the timescales specified. Increased Productivity: High system reliability and availability translate directly into improvements in user productivity. The enhanced functionality of Exchange 2003 leads to even greater increases in user efficiency and effectiveness, especially when coupled with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. Simplified Administration: The web-based self care administration portal “Control Panel” and 24*7 manned support infrastructure greatly reduces the specialist internal resources required for the management of the messaging system.
