PRIVACY NETWORKS HELPS
MANAGED SERVICE PROVIDERS OFFER INTEGRATED EMAIL SECURITY
SOLUTIONS
MSPs and ISPs take control of email security and archiving
to improve customer service and increase revenues
FORT COLLINS, Colo., May 15, 2006 - Privacy Networks, the
email integrity company, continues to build customer momentum
for its email integrity suite with the addition of leading
Managed Service Provider (MSP) customers, including, 3t Systems,
Consolidated Information Systems, Whatwire Broadband, NetQ,
and ACS, Inc. Privacy Networks' Email Integrity Suite (EIS)
eliminates the need for third-party solutions by providing
a single, easy-to-use interface for managing security, archiving
and remote email accessibility.
"Email security and management represents a tremendous opportunity
for resellers and managed service providers as they help customers
control email security and content," said Steven Berens, president
and CEO of Privacy Networks. "The response we've seen from
MSP customers is that our simple go-to-market strategy allows
them to quickly achieve solid ROI while increasing revenues
and reducing their customers' frustration with email."
Privacy Networks' EIS is designed specifically for MSPs with
a single-source management and reporting interface that is
common across all products. This single interface simplifies
application, customer management, training and support. Advanced
domain level statistics can be fed directly to MSP billing
systems for accurate and timely billing. Other features include
a single log-on and a common security architecture that is
mail server and client independent, and is able to reliably
scale to high volume MSP network levels.
Privacy Networks has lowered the barrier to entry for MSPs
to deliver solutions by implementing a self-hosted offering
that is easy to deploy and delivers an immediate ROI. Privacy
Networks offers its Email Integrity Suite to qualified MSPs
with no upfront costs and monthly billing based on actual
customer usage. In addition, resellers and MSPs can offer
a traditional "quick-start" license version of the EIS application
for customers who would like to host their own email integrity
solution.
The Privacy Networks' EIS is an integrated suite of email
security and archiving software comprised of:
PrivacyPost – for
spam, phishing and spyware protection
PrivacyMobile – protecting
cell phones, pagers, PDAs and BlackBerry devices
PrivacyLock – for
automatic encryption and decryption
PrivacyVault – the
first email integrity module that automatically validates,
secures, indexes, compresses and stores email for later retrieval
"Privacy Networks continues to deliver email security solutions
that our customers use to manage email security and unwanted
spam," said Dan Ganousis, vice president of sales and marketing
for 3t Systems. "Through the Privacy Networks model we offer
great value added capabilities to our customers with very
little upfront expense and a revenue stream tied strictly
to actual customer usage. The model is a clear winner for
any ISP looking to offer the best in email security."
"With PrivacyPost, spam is not housed on a company's corporate
e-mail server. Instead, it's housed on a remote server. Individual
users actually can 'educate' the software by putting any e-mails
from a spammer's domain or server onto a 'black list.' That
level of control and security makes this an excellent product,"
said Robert Jose, vice president of sales at Consolidated
Information Systems, an ISP for medical professionals founded
in 1996. Prior to using Privacy Networks, the company utilized
a simple point solution that did not provide the comprehensive
level of spam filtering controls as does PrivacyPost.
Rob Stanley, partner at Whatwire Broadband also offers PrivacyPost
to his customers. "Because PrivacyPost is very easy and intuitive
to use, our customers can quickly reduce the amount of unwanted
email based on their own parameters," he said. "We manage
the entire system and that translates into better service,
tighter security and added value we can offer all of our customers."
The three-year-old Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP)
currently has more than 50 client companies with several hundred
individuals using PrivacyPost. Within the next 30 days, the
company will launch PrivacyVault for clients, such as attorneys,
medical personnel and accountants, needing a complete archiving
system to store and retrieve email correspondences indefinitely.
Gregory Falicia, partner at NetQ, a fast-growing MSP has been
offering PrivacyPost for the past year, with plans to rollout
the entire EIS suite later this year. "PrivacyPost is easy
to use, reliable, and a perfect fit for our business model.
It provides a secure Web interface allowing our customers
to manage spam wherever or whenever it is convenient for them.
PrivacyPost's equations and algorithms are catching more spam,
more effectively, than any other product we have used."
Although ACS, Inc. only deployed PrivacyPost a few months
ago, it already sees vast improvements over prior email security
solutions. Ron Younts, chief operating officer of the 10-year-old
firm said, "We had been doing our own spam filtering both
for our customers and for ourselves and it was extremely time
consuming and not very effective. Privacy Networks has a great
management interface that allows us to seamlessly add new
subscribers and manage their accounts from a single, integrated
system."
