Perimeter E-Security Launches First Comprehensive Secure Cloud Messaging Solution with Exchange 2010 Support

MILFORD, Conn., July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- USA.NET, a Perimeter E-Security brand and the trusted provider of secure and compliant infrastructure for companies of all sizes, today released SaaS Secure Messaging 6.0, the market's first complete secure cloud messaging solution with support for Microsoft Exchange 2010. With more organizations choosing cloud-based email services to save money, modernize their mail systems, reduce complexity and provide simplified remote access for their employees, choosing the right partner is critical. Many organizations find themselves struggling with unanticipated cost, complexity and effort making their messaging services secure and compliant. SaaS Secure Messaging 6.0 addresses these needs by providing a fully integrated, secure and compliant solution.

"Any vendor can sell you a cheap mailbox," said Andrew Jaquith, CTO of Perimeter E-Security. "By contrast, our SaaS Secure Messaging solution with Exchange 2010 provides all of the security and compliance features that a modern business needs. These include messaging, anti-virus and anti-spam, encryption, data leak prevention, business continuity mirroring, tamperproof archiving, eDiscovery, mobile management, collaboration, compliance and review workflows — all for one price, and integrated in one solution. Enterprises won't find a better value anywhere."

The value of USA.NET's SaaS Secure Messaging solution has been recognized by multiple analyst firms. In May 2011, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of USA.NET titled "The Total Economic Impact of USA.NET SaaS Secure Messaging Solution," analyzed the return on investment (ROI) that enterprises can achieve by deploying SaaS Secure Messaging. From an analysis of an 3,500-seat enterprise customer, Forrester found that by choosing USA.NET, the company realized a risk-adjusted ROI of 84 percent with a rapid payback period of just two months. As stated in the study, Forrester Consulting "projects a three-year risk-adjusted total net present value (NPV) of $1.9 million representing the net costs and benefits attributed to the USA.NET SaaS Secure Messaging solution versus the customer's previous messaging solution."

Similarly, in May 2011, Radicati Group found that by switching to USA.NET, the customer saved $15,000 a month, while enjoying superior security services, better administration and controls, full compliance with archiving regulations, enhanced wireless support and decreased downtime.
