Forrester Research Recognizes USA.NET for Cloud

Forrester Research has recognized Perimeter E-Security company, USA.NET in a March 2011 report titled, "Market Overview: Cloud-Based Email Vendors."

USA.NET (News - Alert) has been positioned as a vendor for SMB, mid-market and enterprise companies in this report which says it has the largest customer base at 300,000+ seats.

USA.NET claims it has one million secure messaging users, and filters 50 million emails each day. The company specializes in offering a range of email related services such as email security and compliance services.

Use of email is increasing but companies are searching for a cloud-based email vendor who can tailor to the size of their business.

"Today, a tremendous amount of sensitive corporate and personal data resides in email, driving more companies to turn to outside expertise to manage the growing compliance requirements and to secure the information," said Tim Harvey, CEO of Perimeter E-Security. "More than 6,000 customers across an expanding array of industries rely on our comprehensive secure, cloud-based messaging services, and it's an honor to receive this recognition as a highly trusted service provider."

The report notes:

"Why not go directly to Microsoft (News - Alert) and other platform providers? They just might not be a good fit for your company. As mentioned, Microsoft offers two flavors of Exchange Online: standard and dedicated. The dedicated version is only offered to companies with more than 5,000 seats, but technical integration or regulatory requirements might dictate greater segmentation or control than Microsoft can offer smaller companies looking to deploy Exchange. That's where collaboration service providers step in. They are experts at running and tailoring Exchange and other email and collaboration services for customers."

The Forrester Research (News - Alert) report has included USA.NET in the vendor class of collaboration service providers and recognizes it as an expert that runs and tailors Exchange and other email and collaboration services for customers.
