Fullerton India Credit : Hybrid Messaging Suite
This heterogeneous messaging platform though complex has been to able to keep the user experience same
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
Fullerton was planning to go for a major expansion, and in the process
gradually increase the number of users on thier messaging platform from 12,000
to 40,000 within 2 years. Earlier, Fullerton was using MS-Exchange for
messaging. With the expansion in mind, a messaging solution, which was scalable,
feature rich, and earning the best ROI was desired. An internal survey found
that 80% of the users were using limited features of Exchange. Hence the concept
of hybrid solution was conceived which would keep user experience the same.
After evaluating various vendors, the company decided to go for a Linux based
mail server, Q-mail from Logix Systems. Within 2 days 9,000+ users were migrated
on Q-mail without any down time on working system. As per the company,
deployment has achieved huge savings on licensing cost, reduced spam, and
managing the hybrid mailing system has become hassle-free.
