NECSoft Chooses Mirapoint for Easily Scalable Messaging Solution

TOKYO, May 8, 2002 - NECSoft, a Japanese systems integration, system services, and software development company, has purchased a Mirapoint messaging system to handle a rapidly increasing volume of e-mail messages that threatened to bring its legacy UNIX-based system to its knees. NECSoft, which considers e-mail a mission-critical tool, was also looking for a system that would be more secure and cost effective and that could scale easily as the company grew.

With few engineers to manage its system, NECSoft needed a messaging solution that was easy to deploy and manage. With almost 7,000 new users and 350,000 e-mails per day, NECSoft has been able to keep up with increased usage without having to hire more technical support staff.

"Deployment of the Mirapoint system was exceptionally smooth," said Mr. Sugiura of NECSoft. "The system has worked flawlessly and has proven to be remarkably easy to operate and manage. We also appreciate Mirapoint's flexibility and ability to provide other services. For example, we're looking at supporting IMAP and also considering the possibility of introducing i-mode access."

NECSoft has deployed Mirapoint's Message Servers, integrated systems for message routing, storage and access, and a Message Director, a high-throughput message processing engine. Two Mirapoint Message Servers have been clustered together to provide higher security and back up. The Mirapoint system was sold to NECSoft through Nissho Electronics.
