To succeed in today's competitive global marketplace, businesses demand a quick, easy and reliable exchange of information, both within the boundaries of the organization and beyond, with customers, suppliers and other businesses. Amidst this environment, messaging has become a mission-critical function that requires a robust, high performance infrastructure to handle email and other functions like collaboration and CRM. Every piece of an enterprise now depends on email for communication and collaboration with customers and prospects, suppliers, trading partners, and distributors.

The challenges of managing an effective messaging infrastructure increase every day. Email traffic is growing in size and complexity, placing demands on both bandwidth and administrative personnel. Extreme cost pressures in today's economic climate have forced IT departments to do more with less, and still deliver excellent service. Security threats continue to plague IT departments, as spam and viruses show no signs of slowing. At the same time, users expect 100% uptime while demanding tight integration with the latest technologies, applications, and mobile devices. More and more, companies are turning to managed messaging providers like NaviSite to alleviate these challenges. Managed messaging provides lower and more predictable cost structures than internal systems, better reliability, service and security, immediate access to messaging experts, and allows IT departments to focus their resources on more visible, strategic projects.
