Fusepoint Managed Services, a leading provider of
outsourced IT services and managed applications, today announced the
immediate availability of new Microsoft Exchange services designed to
simplify the management of the world’s most widely deployed messaging
system for business-class e-mail, public folders, calendaring, and
collaboration.

Fusepoint will become the first Canadian ‘pure play’ managed services
provider to offer businesses the end-to-end services required to host
and maintain a high-performance, high- availability communications
infrastructure based on Microsoft Exchange. Fusepoint now offers two
newly tailored delivery options:

*Dedicated Exchange Service – a highly customizable approach to deliver
an Exchange solution (500+ email boxes) tailored to a business’
specific requirements, on a dedicated platform

*Hosted Exchange Service – a complete and cost-effective packaged
solution that can be deployed rapidly to meet the messaging needs
(25-500 email boxes) of small and mid-size organizations

“E-mail is now considered an essential business communications tool in
any corporate environment, yet the cost to effectively manage and
maintain the integrity and reliability of these systems comes with a
price tag that extends beyond simple dollar value alone,” said Robert
Offley, president and CEO of Fusepoint Managed Services. “It takes
ongoing investments in hardware, software, and staffing to keep pace
with the growing number of security advisories, viruses, patches, and
SPAM. Outsourcing Microsoft Exchange requirements under a
‘software-as-a-service’ model will not only save money, but also will
free up internal IT resources for more strategic business activities.”

Offering user-based pricing; 24×7 monitoring; optional mobile and
Blackberry support; and SPAM/content filtering – Fusepoint’s Exchange
services also provide the flexibility and scalability needed to grow an
Exchange messaging and collaboration solution as a company’s
requirements change.

“Microsoft is committed to our technology partner community,” said Lora
Gernon, Director, Partner Sales Group, Microsoft Canada. “We continue
to work closely with our technology partners to provide support for
them to build solutions for Microsoft Exchange 2003 that address the
evolving communication and collaboration needs of Canadian businesses.”
