I. Infrastructure & Ongoing Support

Running and managing messaging has become increasingly complex and mission critical. With an ever increasing reliance on e-mail and a number of regulatory compliance requirements, running and managing an in-house e-mail system can be a daunting task. That is why hosted e-mail has become the preferred means of creating the most efficient and robust e-mail environment.

Does your organization really want to divert focus from strategic projects to deal with e-mail downtime, 24x7 support, cost overruns, problem diagnostics, security, multiple software/hardware vendors, license fees, regulatory compliance, spam and viruses, system upgrades, disaster recovery and more?

Companies also look to VERGELINE and its strategic partners for the feature sets of tomorrow. VERGELINE is provided using Microsoft Exchange 2007 (including 64-bit hardware).
