Business-class, hosted email provides your organization with the features it needs to be professional and productive—without breaking the budget.
Free services often distract you with problems, keeping you from working on key business initiatives. Any downtime due to account lockouts, viruses, or other reasons can cost you time and money, as communication stops, documents go missing, and productivity grinds to a halt.
You Want More Out of Your Email!
Free email services are built for consumers, not businesses. Companies need advanced email capabilities to enhance their professionalism and increase productivity. Paid email services offer extra features to improve efficiency, including support for custom email addresses. Most professionals spend most of their time working in email. Free services offer little more than barebones messaging, while business-class capabilities can drastically increase productivity. Paid email services offer features: inbox management to control chaos; growing businesses have security needs that free services can’t meet. Business-class email can help protect sensitive information. You can rest easy knowing your data is uncompromised with better protection and enhanced data loss prevention.
You’re Maxing Out Space!
Users often regard emails as a filing cabinet to keep important information and share documents. Finite storage can disrupt operations, cause employees to delete valuable emails, and complicate teamwork challenges. Apart from offering better initial storage limits, business-class emails allow you to increase storage as needed and scale as your business grows.
