The Problem: Powering Cost-Effective Messaging Services for Higher Education's Many Users.

Information Technology (IT) managers at today’s educational institutions face a myriad of challenges to deploy services that can meet their growing demands, from faculty and staff email to student email, and from alumni email to email archiving.

In today’s increasingly challenging economy, the serious issues that continue to frustrate IT include:

  • Constantly decreasing budgets,
  •  
  • Staff shortages to maintain faculty and staff email systems,
  •  
  • Email archiving systems that are often homegrown, obsolete and unstable, and
  •  
  • Offers of “free email” dependent on losing control of your user base.

The Solution: Mirapoint’s Secure Messaging Infrastructure™ Solutions Deliver Cost Effective Email and Collaboration.

Mirapoint Messaging Server appliance provides low cost, easy to manage email and collaboration for faculty and staff emails, student email, alumni email and email archiving –– with a feature rich, brandable Webclient or Outlook client. Mirapoint can also archive and secure email through our award-winning RazorGate email security gateway and through RazorSafe, an email archiving appliance.

Using low cost, low maintenance Mirapoint appliances, universities around the world are delivering collaboration for the university user base, as well as alumni mail. Meanwhile, IT managers are regaining control of their email archiving infrastructure with minimal resource investment, without having to outsource mail to a “free” service, where they will lose control of their email and their user base.
