Hostopia Upgrades Sync Tools
Ontario, Canada - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - June 22, 2007 - Web hosting and Internet services company, Hostopia.com Inc., has added to its new offerings with the release of a new suite of email services, targeted at SMBs, including collaboration and sync tools. The services are intended to be significant revenue and profit generators for service providers while meeting the growing demands of SMBs for critical email functionality, such as collaboration and data synchronization.
Colin Campbell, CEO and COO of Hostopia remarked, ”The two to twenty-five employee organization requires their email service provider to offer features such as the sharing of calendar and contact information between employees as well as the ability to synchronize data between email systems and mobility devices, such as Microsoft Outlook and, say, their Palm or R.I.M. device. Hostopia’s new managed email platform allows these features, and more, at very compelling end user prices.”
Hostopia reports that the new service provides several capabilities in demand by SMBs, including very large email file storage limits of 3 GB or greater, collaboration features such as shared calendars, contacts, tasks and notes, and the ability for users to synchronize emailrelated data between their desktop, web-based email applications and a large choice of wireless mobility devices.
Mr. Campbell added, ”Small businesses, including the ‘prosumer’, increasingly demand the ability to have their vital business data such as calendars and contacts available to them at all times, regardless of their whereabouts or access to their traditional office email system. Our SyncMLbased services allow users the freedom to access data seamlessly via their desktop, webmail or their wireless mobility device. An additional benefit is having a secure backup of their data, offering protection against the consequences of a lost or replaced mobile device.”
Hostopia’s managed email services are available to service providers such as telcos, ISPs and broadband providers on a private-labeled, wholesale basis. Service providers can offer Hostopia’s email service to end users under their own brand including a customized look and feel in the end user interface. API’s available from Hostopia even allow service providers to fully integrate the email services into their own customer login environments such as web-based business portals or online authentication applications.
Typical service provider market strategies for implementing advanced email services include bundling with higher value services such as upgraded broadband offerings or selling the email services on a stand-alone basis on a monthly, per-user subscription model.
Hostopia develops, manages, and distributes Internet applications used by small and medium sized businesses, including wholesale private-label hosting, managed email, ecommerce, and application services to telcos, ISPs, cable companies, hosting providers, and domain registrars. Hostopia’s automated provisioning and support systems enable service providers in order to increase profits, offer superior features to end-users, and reduce the risk and challenge of delivering reliable, high-performance web services including; small-business hosting and applications, business-class email, and consumer email.
