Herndon, VA -- March 23, 2006 -- Today, IceWEB, Inc. (OTC BB: IWEB), a leading provider of business class hosted email and web portal solutions, announced that the online ordering and billing for their IceMAIL service will be powered by SWsoft’s PEM Solution for Hosted Exchange. PEM is a datacenter automation solution that enables service providers to completely automate the provisioning and operational billing processes associated with offering hosted Microsoft Exchange services.
IceMAIL gives small businesses a better way to communicate by sharing email, calendar, and contact information from anywhere at anytime so they can get more done; bypassing the expense of owning, maintaining, and hosting an in-house email server. IceWEB customized the PEM solution to include the option of adding wireless SmartPhone/PDAs, inbound/outbound faxing, and data archiving. The combination of IceMAIL with the PEM system makes this one of the most advanced hosted email solutions in the country. With this system, customers can view billing history, change billing options, add/change mailboxes, and manage optional services. New accounts are automatically created and customers can begin using IceMAIL immediately.
“Successful marketing combined with the demand for business class email, in the small business market, has helped our company grow at a rapid rate,” according to Stacy Dinter, Director of Marketing, IceWEB. “PEM’s unique ability to deliver a flexible online storefront and provide instant provisioning, billing, and management interfaces will help us manage our expansion goals. In addition, PEM’s flexible architecture will help us launch new services on the same platform in the near future.”
“IceWEB has built a solid hosted business package by focusing on applications such as email, shared calendaring, and web portals,” said Kurt Daniel, SWsoft, vice president, marketing and alliances. “Businesses which cannot afford to deploy and maintain their own enterprise email solution can rely on IceWEB. By automating service delivery and billing, PEM helps providers, such as IceWEB, the ability to maintain a low cost structure while at the same time improving customer response times.”
