July 20, 2006 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – UK based company Internet Facilitators Limited (IFL) have chosen secure web hosting provider Simply Mail Solutions (SMS - http://www.SimplyMailSolutions.com) for the hosting of Microsoft Exchange mailboxes. Set up in 1997, Internet Facilitators Limited offers secure hosting for Internet Service Providers and Telecoms companies.
The company provides carrier neutral data center space to internet service providers, web hosting companies and other IT service businesses. The company is involved in 24/7 engineer support and it is critical engineers have access to email while they are out of the office.
Marcus Hopwood, Services Director for IFL suggested, “We selected Microsoft Exchange in order to maintain the familiar MS Outlook mail client. The Outlook Mobile Access solution meant that we could also get that same interface from any where in the world that we had access to a web browser. Finally by using Windows Mobile 5 handsets we were able take advantage of push email technology giving us access to email when out of the office.”
He added, “Having decided to use a hosted mail service we looked a number of different providers. SMS were very responsive to our needs, provided expert advice in helping us select the right service and the cost compared favorably with other providers. Being based in the UK gave us the confidence that the service would perform well with no lengthy transit delays.”
Discussing the move, Colin Smith Managing Director of SMS suggested, “A lot of SME’s are starting to realize that with the new enhanced email packages such as MS Exchange and Zimbra there is a whole lot more they can do to enhance productivity than just get emails to their desk. Mobile access to email is becoming very important now that devices using Microsoft Mobile 5 are coming onto the market and with Zimbra (and MSE) there are very nice tools for collaboration such as shared calendars, contacts and notes.”
