Email Systems Expands its Audience With Mills and Boon

Globally Renowned Publisher Switches to Email Systems

Mills and Boon, the world renowned book publisher has recently enhanced its managed service by switching to Email Systems' web and email filtering technology.

The 125 strong Mills and Boon team previously employed two service providers, one for email protection and another for web protection, neither of which were able to meet the required standard. Following careful market research, Mills and Boon approached Email Systems' partner the Email Protection Agency, to acquire a complete solution under a single roof.

Email Systems' service offers the technology and a service that is unrivalled in the current market. The system allows IT Administrators to define and control effective usage policies which, as with all Email Systems' web based services, require no hardware or software to use.

One of the key benefits of the service is the ability to manage access to webmail sites. Generally, access is be split into groups defined by hierarchy and are implemented to avoid potential security risks - including information being distributed without sanction and the potential for viruses to be received.

The system is highly configurable and administrators are able to identify specific sections of any website to be limited, within certain categories. An administrator can allow access to specific urls even if the category as a whole has been blocked, to ensure that the service is fit for purpose within any organisation.

The Web Filtering service offered provides a first layer of defence against all known viruses and spyware. Other technological advantages that Email Systems offers include bandwidth improvement as a result of usage and continually updated and supported technology that will identify and eliminate new threats in real time as well as a business continuity service should disaster strike.

The Business Continuity service ensures that employees will be able to access any incoming email that is being queued on their behalf by Email Systems by simply switching to a web browser email interface in the event of a system breakdown. Users can continue receiving, sending and replying to emails.

Steve Smith, IS Manager, Mills and Boon commented: "Having the two services under one roof is ideal. As there was no need for product installation, Email Systems implemented its technology quickly and efficiently which allowed business to continue with no disruption. Since implementing the service issues associated with email and the web have reduced to zero."

Neil Hammerton, CEO of Email Systems, commented: "I'm certain Mills and Boon's past situation isn't an uncommon one and it's great to see how our complete managed service can benefit a company by not only supplying market leading solutions but also by keeping the solution all under one roof."

Email Systems has recently achieved 106% growth in channel partners and growth in revenue by 85%. Email Systems also won 'Security Vendor of The Year' at the recent Channel Reseller News (CRN) awards - a particularly prominent industry award as it is voted for by other businesses within the sector.
