Service Providers Must Offer Differentiated, High-Margin Messaging Services
Over the past decade, the global service provider market, including ISPs, and unified messaging providers, has matured and become intensely competitive. Assuring customer “stickiness” is key to revenue growth and success for service providers. The ability of service providers to differentiate themselves through an ever-expanding range of services delivered at a competitive price, while sustaining a profit, is the principal determining factor between success and failure.

Email is one of the key, mission-critical, applications that service providers employ to support their customers. Indeed, email has become an integral part of the basic service provider package, but basic email is no longer adequate to meet the increasing expectations of subscribers. Service providers must be capable of delivering new, feature-rich email services to successfully differentiate themselves and realize additional revenue streams from these billable, value-added services.

Mirapoint, the leading secure messaging provider, offers an appliance-based solution designed for compatibility with provisioning, reporting, and billing infrastructures. This enables service providers to easily and cost-effectively offer basic messaging services, as well as value-added services such as spam filtering and anti-virus protection, mobile access, and Webmail, an extensively brandable client. Mirapoint also allows service providers to offer rich email features to small and mid-size businesses with multiple domains and tens of thousands of end users, all cost effectively hosted on a single Mirapoint appliance.

Mirapoint messaging appliances are the building blocks of an “always on” messaging infrastructure that addresses security throughout the fabric of the network, not just at the network perimeter. A Mirapoint appliance-based infrastructure can easily scale to meet the growing needs of even the largest service provider while maintaining the lowest TCO in the messaging industry and providing a platform for the provisioning of new services.
