Northland Properties Evicts E-mail-borne Viruses and Spam with FrontBridge's TrueProtect Service
200 Locations Across Canada Are Virus and Spam Free with FrontBridge's Service
MARINA DEL REY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 26, 2004--FrontBridge Technologies, the leader in enterprise message management and email security, today announced that it has been selected by Northland Properties Corp., a leading Canadian real estate and property management company, to secure their corporate email infrastructure against threats from viruses and spam. The FrontBridge TrueProtect(TM) managed service protects organizations by filtering spam and viruses from email before they enter corporate networks.
Northland Properties is the parent corporation of Sandman Hotels and has more than 200 hotels, restaurants and other real estate locations across Canada -- from Montreal to Victoria -- that rely on FrontBridge for email security. The recommendation and implementation of FrontBridge's service was led by Tillica Technology Solutions Inc., a leading IT technology services provider.
"After a major virus took down the network for days, we knew that we needed a better solution for cleaning viruses out of email before they even entered the network," said Van Jump, MIS director for Northland Properties. "With a geographically distributed network such as ours, FrontBridge's managed solution was the clear choice. FrontBridge's TrueProtect service took just a few hours to implement, it is maintenance-free and it has transparently kept the increasing volume of viruses and spam out of our network."
FrontBridge's award-winning TrueProtect Message Management Suite is a complete enterprise message management and email security solution with services that include managed spam/virus filtering, secure messaging, content and policy enforcement, and disaster recovery services. The TrueProtect suite is built on the SMART Network(TM) platform, a global network of distributed and load-balanced data centers that are Secure, Managed, Active, Resilient and Trusted. FrontBridge's TrueProtect Suite has been vetted and proven by more than 1,800 enterprise customers.
"With the increasing proliferation of email-borne viruses, more companies are looking for anti-virus solutions that stop these debilitating threats before they enter the network," said Brad Burkle, director of channel development for FrontBridge Technologies. "To have Northland select FrontBridge for our anti-virus capabilities, as well as anti-spam functions, is validation of our ability to handle multiple facets of message management."
Delivered as a managed service with no hardware or software to install, TrueProtect delivers the industry's lowest false positive rate, provides the industry's best reliability (zero down time since the service's inception in 2000), and offers the easiest solution to manage and implement. Its unique implementation process, which places control over corporate email with the IT department, typically has customers up and running in under an hour. All of these features are supported by FrontBridge's global network of eight distributed and load-balanced data centers, which makes FrontBridge the only organization capable of guaranteeing 99.999 percent reliability on top of its record of 100 percent since service inception in 2000.
