Markets by Radicati Group for Third Consecutive Reports
Milford, CT, October 5, 2009 - Perimeter E-Security, the trusted market leader of
information security and messaging services that deliver enterprise-class
protection and compliance to companies of all sizes, today announced that its USA.NET
Microsoft®
Exchange Hosting solution has experienced an 18% growth over the past
twelve months, adding 200,000 seats on the Company’s base of 1.1 million. The company also announced today that
industry leading analyst firm, The Radicati Group, Inc., ranked USA.NET as a "Top Player"
in their Hosted Business Email–Market Quadrant 2009 report and the
Hosted Microsoft Exchange–Market Quadrant 2009 report. USA.NET is recognized for leading the market in both market share and for its comprehensive suite of hosted business
email services.
Separately, Perimeter announced that an increasing number of
customers are adding hosted email services to their existing security suites to
create a comprehensive security approach.
“Being consistently ranked by The Radicati Group for the third consecutive report is a
testament to our exceptional track record and unparalleled experience in the
hosted email and collaboration market and underscores how mission-critical
email performance is for businesses of all sizes,” said Doug Howard, Chief
Strategy Officer of Perimeter. “The power
of our security, email and collaboration solutions is driving critical mass in
new customer categories beyond core financial services such as hospitality. Since April of this year, we have seen
our current customers adding services to their existing hosted email packages,
and new customers seeking our solutions to help them remain laser focused on
their core business instead of needing to divert resources to managing email
systems.”
The Radicati reports highlight the full suite of end-to-end messaging solutions of USA.NET’s
two business messaging solutions: CMS and Microsoft Hosted Exchange. The reports highlight the following key strengths for USA.NET:
- Flexibility to combine Microsoft Hosted Exchange mailboxes with CMS mailboxes to tailor
cost-effective email solutions.
- Highly scalable and customizable Microsoft
Hosted Exchange offering that can be modified to fit a company’s current
needs and infrastructure.
- 99.9% SLA for Microsoft Hosted Exchange
solution.
- Free dedicated technical account manager
(TAM), to serve as a private IT consultant for customers.
- Microsoft
Gold partner with competencies in advanced infrastructure, mobility,
hosting and security.
- Extensive migration experience across a full spectrum of messaging applications
including Novell GroupWise, IBM Lotus Notes, POP systems, competitive
hosting systems and legacy versions of Exchange.
- Enhanced credibility with
Perimeter E-Security backing in verticals that rely on security, such as
financial services and history as one of the first hosting providers.
As business
email systems are becoming increasingly complex, specialized and central to communications,
customers such as Belo, Cheesecake Factory, UHY Advisors, Inc. and United
Airlines are relying on Perimeter’s trusted hosting services to assure the reliability,
uptime and security requirements of their business messaging needs.
“Before
selecting USA.NET, we reviewed a number of top hosted email service providers
and we’re thrilled with our decision. Following a highly successful migration, we’re continuing to extend the
USA.NET hosted solution across our company,” said Craig Harper, Vice President
of Technology, Belo Corp.
