NORCROSS, Ga., Feb. 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EasyLink Services International Corporation ("EasyLink" or "Company") (Nasdaq:ESIC) (www.easylink.com), a global provider of comprehensive messaging services and e-commerce solutions, today announced that a North American-based global provider of grain handling and marketing, agri-products, and value-added processing, has selected EasyLink as its hosted fax services provider.
The company's information technology organization recognized the value of moving away from an internally-managed fax server infrastructure to a cloud-based fax service that would provide greater manageability, scalability, and security in a global business environment. EasyLink's Desktop Messaging was selected because it is a true global solution that integrates with other messaging protocols and can easily scale to meet the company's international growth strategies.
EasyLink's Desktop Messaging provides the client with considerable benefits over a server-based fax solution. The secure end-to-end features of EasyLink's fax service safeguard the exchange of confidential information, enabling the company's financial services business unit to process applications faster while substantially reducing risk. In addition, EasyLink's hosted solution eliminates the expenses associated with adding infrastructure, upgrading software, and purchasing telecom services.
"EasyLink's rapid provisioning, ease of use, and performance provides our customers with the robust messaging solutions they need now, while providing a flexible, single-platform architecture that will keep pace with their evolving global communications needs," said Kevin Maloney, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, EasyLink Services.
