Email Security Leader FrontBridge Acquires MessageRite Inc.

00:00:00 - 30 August 2004

August 30, 2004 - (HostReview.com) - FrontBridge Technologies Inc., the leader in  enterprise message management and email security, today announced the acquisition of MessageRite, Inc. (Irvine, Calif.), broadening the company's service portfolio to include email and instant message archiving for regulatory compliance, legal discovery and business continuity. The acquisition adds market leading technology for electronic message archiving to FrontBridge's broad service portfolio for inbox management that includes perimeter-based spam filtering, virus scanning, secure email, policy enforcement and disaster recovery.

"Our vision is to deliver the broadest range of hosted services that address the complete  message management needs of our enterprise customers," said Steve Jillings, president and CEO of FrontBridge Technologies.

Compliance regulations affecting many industries, such as SEC 17a-4, NASD 3010, and  Sarbanes-Oxley, require that electronic business communications, including email and IM traffic, be preserved and produced upon demand to various regulatory agencies.

MessageRite's technology intercepts all internal and external messages and securely stores a fully indexed copy of each message in a secure offsite message archive center. Via a secure interface, administrators and compliance officers can easily search and retrieve messages within
their archive as needed.

"FrontBridge has built an extensive infrastructure and distribution network for its managed  messaging services and we look forward to delivering our advanced archiving technology to its customers and partners worldwide," said Kevin Merritt, president, CEO and founder of MessageRite. "Message archiving is in high demand as companies are required by law to store
and access electronic communications. It fits the managed service delivery model because of the expense required to build a solution on premise, making MessageRite and FrontBridge a winning combination."

Existing MessageRite customers and infrastructure will be transitioned onto the FrontBridge  SMART Network™, a globally distributed, fully load balanced data center. The SMART Network is the only managed service to deliver 100-percent historical uptime and one of the few to guarantee 99.999-percent service level guarantees.
