“Since we deployed Mirapoint, management and administration of the email system has been reduced from five full-time people to one.” – Temple University “After installing the Mirapoint MailHurdle™ technology, we've been able to drop more spam and viruses at the network edge and reduce overall traffic from 450,000 to 150,000 messages per day.” – California Polytechnic State University

Powering Cost Effective Messaging Services for Higher Education's Many Constituencies
Information Technology (IT) managers at today’s educational institutions face many challenges in deploying email services that can meet the growing demands of their students, faculty, staff and alumni. Constantly decreasing budget, not enough staff to maintain an email system that often is homegrown and unstable, are serious issues that continue to frustrate IT. In addition, IT managers are being wooed by offers of “free email” on the condition of losing control of their user base. What should IT managers do given all these concerns?
