MIRAPOINT RECRUITS NEW CHANNEL PARTNERS
New channel programme attracts specialist resellers in enterprise and education sectors

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 14, 2003 - Mirapoint, a leading provider of messaging solutions, has recruited two new channel partners, Tekmesh Limited and EZ Web Communication Limited, as part of a new drive to increase indirect sales of its dedicated messaging product range in EMEA. Tekmesh is a management consulting group specialising in business optimisation solutions. EZ Web Communication operates in the education space as an independent ICT consultancy. The new partnerships will give the resellers an opportunity to offer specialised email security and management solutions to their customers.

"Given that 21 billion messages are sent per day, email has become a primary concern for most organisations," said Deborah Mehigan, Director of EZ Web. "Mirapoint's scaleable messaging solutions provide the first truly education friendly solution that offers the necessary reliability, security and management functionalities required for communities of learning."

"The uptake of communications via email has required businesses to pay greater attention to running secure and confidential messaging environments," commented Liam Donnelly, general manager of Tekmesh. "We partnered with Mirapoint because its reliable and easy to use solutions co-exist with existing messaging applications, such as Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange. This gives us the freedom to offer our clients cost-effective, secure messaging solutions, whilst preserving their existing communications investments."

"The new partnerships signify Mirapoint's commitment to increasing its relationships with experienced channel partners in EMEA," said Jamie Cowper, Mirapoint's channel manager, EMEA. "With a target to increase indirect sales from 50% to 70%, the signing of specialist partners such as Tekmesh and EZ Web will widen our reach in the enterprise and education markets."

Mirapoint's Message Director MD400 and Message Server M4000 are aimed at the enterprise, local government, education and financial markets. The MD400 works with any internet messaging environment to provide scalable routing services. It can support millions of e-mail messages daily and provide protection from e-mail borne viruses and spam. The M4000 provides an end-to-end infrastructure for secure and reliable message storage and access. The Directory Server simplifies the creation, use and integration of LDAP directories as a common user information database for all messaging-based applications.
