PeopleToGo Selects Fusepoint for Secure Microsoft Exchange Email Services

November 9, 2005; 07:27 AM

TORONTO, Nov. 9  - Fusepoint Managed Services, a leading provider of outsourced infrastructure and application services, today announced it has been selected by PeopleToGo to deliver and maintain a high-performance, high-availability Microsoft Exchange email solution, including full Blackberry
integration.

PeopleToGo builds and manages pools of skilled workers that clients can draw from to meet fluctuating labour requirements. The company's 'just-in- time' workforce has quadrupled over the last four years to more than 10,000 profiled workers, and the ability to communicate through email at any time plays an essential role in the company's overall success. With this in mind, PeopleToGo decided to outsource the management of its email Exchange systems in an effort to effectively concentrate internal resources on growing their core business.

"PeopleToGo has earned a reputation for having skilled resources available everywhere and at all times for our clients," said Dave Duncan, president of PeopleToGo. "If our email goes down, our clients and candidates cannot communicate with us, which not only hurts our bottom line but also our reputation. By outsourcing Exchange and Blackberry services to Fusepoint we can focus on our core business and leave the complex technology to the certified experts."

Fusepoint hosts and manages PeopleToGo entire communications infrastructure on Microsoft Exchange including SPAM/content filtering, patch management, 24x7 monitoring, and wireless Blackberry capabilities. Fusepoint's Microsoft Exchange services are designed to simplify the management of the world's most widely deployed messaging system for business-class e-mail, public folders, calendaring, and collaboration.

"With the growing number of security advisories, viruses, patches, and SPAM, we're seeing a definite uptick in demand for outsourcing Microsoft Exchange requirements," said George Kerns, president and CEO of Fusepoint Managed Services. "Today, forward-thinking companies are realizing that it takes an ongoing investment to keep pace with new threats. By outsourcing critical applications like email to Fusepoint, PeopleToGo can continue to focus on building their talent pools and running a top-notch just-in-time labour resource and project company. Simply put, PeopleToGo doesn't have to worry about the performance and availability of their email systems."

In addition, PeopleToGo has been hosting their Resource Software Solutions, a web-based software solution for little over a year now. RSS was designed to take the complexity out of managing a workforce, be it contract or permanent workers.
