It’s 9am on a Monday and you slowly make your way into the office. You turn on your pc and open your email. “Here we go again!” you say to yourself as you wait for all your new spam messages to load in, creating a headache as you attempt to find what is legitimate email and what is junk.

It’s no mystery that nowadays spam causes you to receive more illegitimate email messages in a day than legitimate messages. Statistics show that for every 13 email messages, 10 messages are spam. This creates a productivity problem for all businesses, but especially for small businesses that don’t have the technology in place to combat junk email. A leading antispam firm reported that small businesses receive 10 times more spam than that of large companies.

The Answer:
The solution is Postini. Postini offers highly accurate spam filtering, a rich and flexible feature set, and granular administration. This allows anti-spam settings to be tightened or loosened, depending on the needs of the user, and allows policies to be tailored to individual users, groups, and/or domains.  Daily quarantine summary reports can be automatically sent to the users' email too! Postini is the market leader in accurately and effectively managing junk email in all companies, regardless of their size.

How To Get It:
Spidernet Technical Consulting is Postini’s Premier Partner throughout the Philadelphia area. It’s no surprise we have a 98% renewal rate among the clients using the Postini service.

Defacto Standard In Email Security:
Clients such as Merrill Lynch, Circuit City, and Holland & Knight, LLP use Postini. Postini’s client list reads like a “who’s who list.” With these high level clients supporting Postini, it makes it impossible to question the level of email content filtering protection you receive through Postini.

Antivirus Protection Built In:
The Postini Enterprise Protection Package offered through Spidernet also delivers virus scanning protection. You may say that you already have protection against virus threats. However, the real advantage is that Postini keeps the viruses at bay, which means viruses never have the chance to get to the front door of your email system. This greatly reduces the work required of your server on a daily basis, helping your computer network to run more efficiently.

Disaster Recovery:
The Postini service also comes with an optional feature called email spooling. Email spooling is a way of holding your email for all your users in case of unplanned downtime that may occur. Heck, your company can even plan for downtime. Your email will be held until your email server is back on-line, which eliminates the fear of possible lost email messages during upgrades/updates to your email server!

Low Total Cost of Ownership:
Through Postini you will no longer have to pay your current IT staff to implement complex blocklist rules to “tweak” your spam filter. You don’t even have to purchase any hardware to run this service! Pricing is on a per seat license, so for a couple dollars per seat, you could be ready to go!

Government Compliance:
Postini is compliant with WebTrust certified3, SAS-70 Type II audit report4, ISO 17799 standard2, 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act, and HIPPA. You may not be familiar with all of these standards, but your accountant and attorney will advise you that they are important compliance standards. In a nutshell...these are standardized processes put in place to safeguard private information of individuals.
