Why Outsource Spam Control?
Gone are the days when a simple spam filter was enough to protect your business critical applications from spam attacks. No matter how small or large your business, you need a comprehensive anti-spam solution that doesn't cost you a small fortune.
Unfortunately, buying, maintaining and upgrading your own anti-spam filters – or spam blockers can be expensive, both in terms of money and resources.
Worse, it can get outdated rather quickly. That's why it makes sense to outsource this requirement as a managed service. The NDS Spam Filter is continuously updated with the latest spam and virus definitions every hour!
"Spam accounts for 45% of all e-mails, or 15 billion messages every day, and costs business world-wide a total of $20 billion a year in lost productivity and technology expenses, according to the Radicati Group, a market research firm in Palo Alto, CA. The firm predicts the number of daily Spams will rise to more than 50 billion by 2007, and costs will reach almost $200 billion per year."

Apart from lowering total cost of ownership, outsourcing
offers the following benefits:
Superior Email Server performance: Incoming mail is drastically reduced as soon as the spam firewall is activated, which means not only does it block spam , viruses and other virtual threats before they can enter your enterprise firewall, but by doing so, saves you time, money, server capacity and bandwidth!
Increased protection: The Barracuda Networks technology, utilized by NDS, makes sure that Denial of Service or Directory Harvest Attacks are automatically stopped before they sap the strength and capacity of your email servers. This leads to better productivity and an improved email system as well.
Redundancy and reliability: When you outsource to experts like us, you benefit by our expertise, extensive experience and the fact that your anti-spam solution is managed out of a reliable and secure data center that ensures 100% network uptime so your business applications never have to suffer.
Server downtime doesn't mean disaster: If there are any rare problems in connectivity or if your email server is down, our spam filtering service hold your email until your server becomes available – minus the spam, of course.
Fast updates = Safe servers: A constant stream of anti-spam and anti-virus software updates prevents disastrous spam and virus attacks. In addition to hourly virus and spam updates, we also provide real time blacklist protection.
Pay for only what you need: Don't get stuck with spam protection equipment and capacity you don't need. With a managed anti-spam solution, you can expand when only when you really need to. In fact, when effective spam firewall's are put in place, many businesses discover they don't need to expand server capacity at all. The spam firewall reduces server load, thereby enhancing server performance and saving you money
How much is spam costing your company? |
If, for example, your company has 100 employees and we make the assumption that each person receives on average 20 spam emails per day and spends on average 15 seconds processing each email, then that means the company receives about 730,000 spam emails over the course of a year and that its employees spend about 3,050 hours processing these spam emails by either deleting them or responding to them. That's 3,050 hours of lost productivity!
If we also assume that the average salary among your 100 employees is $60,000, this translates to a productivity loss of approximately $91,500 per year.
So, just looking at employee productivity, spam is costing this company of 100 employees over $91,000 a year. If you further calculate in technology expenses associated with spam, such as the amount of time wasted by the email servers in processing all the spam emails and the amount of time IT support staff spends battling spam, you'll find that the cost of spam only goes up.
Here is something for you to ponder. Redirecting a fraction of the cost you would save with NDS’s Spam Filtering Service, you could have the complete IT Managed Services & Downstream Virtual CTO from Network Data Services and sleep VERY well at night knowing there is a team of Certified Professionals watching your back. |
