Barsa Blocks Spam With St. Bernard's LivePrism
Financial Firm Deploys On-Demand Email Filter to Reduce Junk Mail and Increase Billable Time
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - July 17, 2007) - St.
Bernard Software, Inc. (OTCBB : SBSW ), a global provider of security
appliances and hosted solutions, including secure content management,
archiving and collaboration, today announced Barsa, Hara & Company, LLP and
Barsa Technology Solutions (Barsa) implemented LivePrism , St. Bernard's managed security service, to eliminate high levels of
spam. Barsa consists of a professional accounting firm and a financial
business software reseller.
As Barsa generated revenue, portions of the workday spent manually sorting
through junk emails negatively affected the bottom line. Since switching
its email filtering to the LivePrism hosted service, Barsa has reduced
individual spam volume by more than 98 percent. The organization estimates
it saves a minimum of $25,000 annually in billable time that was previously
spent sifting through heavy volumes of spam.
"We used to receive a high level of unsolicited email, decreasing the
amount of billable hours we could take advantage of throughout the day,"
said Jo Barsa, owner and founder of Barsa. "With LivePrism, we can now
solely focus on our customers, while St. Bernard's reliable solution keeps
our inboxes clean."
As a hosted service, LivePrism offers Barsa the flexibility it needs in
order to protect all employees, whether remote or on-site. LivePrism is
managed and delivered over the Internet, removing the burden of
time-consuming installations, updates and maintenance. The email filter
offers robust, enterprise-level features at an affordable cost, including
custom notifications, message routing, quarantines and archiving. Barsa
finds the black / white list capability of particular value, as it provides
individual users with control over the email they receive. Custom black and
white listing also assures that approved email senders are not quarantined,
and unsolicited email is never allowed.
"Organizations like Barsa find value in the ease-of-use and affordability
that on-demand solutions provide," said Andrew Lochart, vice president of
marketing at St. Bernard. "As a managed offering, LivePrism meets the needs
of any size organization by eliminating software and hardware
installations. All administration is handled through an intuitive Web
interface, empowering businesses to easily take control of their email,
instant messaging and Internet security."
St. Bernard's LivePrism provides hosted email, instant message (IM) and
web-filtering services. LivePrism also includes on-demand office solutions,
such as email hosting, collaborative Outlook calendars and contacts, and
secure archiving. Further information on LivePrism can be found at
