A convergence of factors is driving businesses of all sizes to seriously investigate Hosted Messaging solutions for the time as a real option for their organizations. The appeal of these managed offerings is undeniable: After all, what organization can resist the promise of elevated e-mail performance, reliability, and security of corporate email at a lower cost than managing messaging systems internally? But with a myriad of options to choose from, and a number of criteria to consider, which factors do companies base their decision to outsource the management of their messaging infrastructure on and how do these organizations select a solution to fit their needs?

In this telebriefing, Amy Larsen DeCarlo, Principal Analyst, Internet/Managed Services, examines the trends in the hosting messaging arena that are creating new opportunities for providers with the right feature sets. This webinar addresses questions such as:

  • What specific business challenges and external issues are pushing businesses to outsource the management of its messaging systems to a third party now?
