Though Eden Brown had been using Mail Marshall as an
email filtering service, the IT Team felt that they needed
additional protection and a wider suite of benefits such as
message search capabilities, rapid email failover during
server outages on premise and message encryption
resources.
According to Cham Bain Smith, IT Manager at Eden
Brown; “A major priority was to secure the Eden Brown
network against viruses, specifically virus scanning
outside the network.”
Solution
The Results
A Senior Systems Engineer at Eden Brown was
asked to investigate and recommend other
email and virus protection products, which
included Message Labs, Black Spider and
Google Postini.
The decision to adopt Google Postini as part of their
existing email infrastructure was motivated by a desire to
safeguard the company against virus threats and reduce
email spam, while concurrently decreasing bandwidth
usage. Eden Brown is extremely satisfied that Postini has
made their email network more secure and compliant,
without having to invest in costly hardware or
infrastructure, or having to commit resource to high
maintenance levels associated with legacy environments.
The Google Postini offering was the clear
winner, out-performing it’s rivals and coming
in as a far more cost-effective solution.
Bain Smith notes that, “Eden Brown has
experienced the benefits of using Postini
across all of its various business units. Our IT
team appreciates the peace of mind offered
by Postini in terms of its exceptional virus
protection and the resultant reduction of
email spam, while the ability to search for
emails across archives has been an invaluable
tool for our end users throughout Eden
Brown.”
Postini’s flexible interface, the availability of mail
information and the ability to change mail routes has also
proven invaluable to Eden Brown.
