DENVER -- Oct. 12, 2004 -- MX Logic, Inc., a leading provider of innovative email defense solutions that ensure email protection and security for businesses, service providers, government organizations, resellers and their customers, has achieved 213 percent growth in its partner program during 2004, helping to boost corporate revenue 900 percent in the past 12 months.
To date, more than 250 partners -- including Accuvant, Choice Solutions, LLC, Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ) and (i)Structure, LLC -- offer MX Logic's email defense solutions to their customers.
"MX Logic is committed to making it easy for our channel partners to capitalize on the rapidly growing email protection and security market," said John Street, MX Logic chairman and CEO. "By leveraging MX Logic's email defense solutions, partners can quickly solve their clients' spam and email threat problems and generate ongoing revenue."
Analysts estimate that the email security market will grow from $200 million to $300 million in 2003 to potentially $4 billion to $5 billion over the long term.
Spam, viruses, worms and other threats can damage corporate networks, reduce productivity, increase operational costs, consume communication bandwidth and strain technical support. Ferris Research estimates that in 2003, the total cost of spam to U.S. businesses in lost productivity was $10 billion.
"Businesses are increasingly aware of the bottom-line impact of email threats and as a result, the demand for email protection services among our customers is extremely high -- and still rising," said Steve Marks, president, Starnet Data Design Inc., an MX Logic partner. "By partnering with MX Logic, Starnet has enhanced its current offerings by providing a value-added service that relieves a huge pain point for our customers."
MX Logic email defense solutions provide instant relief from spam, viruses and worms, inappropriate content and attachments, and email attacks before they can harm a corporate network. Leveraging a managed email defense service allows businesses to reduce bandwidth and storage costs, requires no additional hardware or software outlays and allows for rapid service activation within one business day.
