Messaging

The most common form of messaging is still email, which accounts for around 80% of all business content today. While it’s a quick, cost–effective business tool the volume of attachments and rich content can put your messaging systems under strain. In addition, increasing regulatory pressures mean that there are obligations to retain emails as records for auditing purposes. Company mergers and acquisitions can also increase the pressure to migrate or consolidate messaging platforms.

We can help you ease the burden with a variety of messaging management services and solutions to help you:

  • Deploy team collaboration solutions that lower dependency on email
  • Upgrade or migrate platforms
  • Implement attachment and content archiving solutions
  • Protect your messaging infrastructure from external security threats
  • Provide a single platform to support your mobile users
  • Establish policies and procedures for messaging

Through our close working partnership with leading vendors we have the skills to help you optimise your messaging systems:

IBM Lotus Domino 8.5 – has reliable, security–rich email and calendar capabilities with a powerful platform for collaborative business applications that go beyond email.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – for all asynchronous communications, with unified messaging (email, voice mail, faxes and calendaring) delivered direct to the user’s inbox.

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 – which manages all real–time (synchronous) communications such as instant messaging, VoIP and audio and video conferencing. As it includes Presence, you can see at–a–glance if a colleague is available and contact them, with a click, using instant messaging, a phone call or video conferencing

“We first used LAN2LAN for a migration from Exchange to Domino at one of our group locations.

At head office we had a need to replace some of our aging servers and to provide additional capacity for new applications.  Following our experience with LAN2LAN from the migration project together with their knowledge of IBM Lotus applications (which five of the servers would be running) they were asked to recommend a solution that would also add a degree of resilience in terms of fail over capacity to our infrastructure.

After an on-site review LAN2LAN recommended a virtualised environment using VMware with HP blades and SAN which addressed both our expectations and budget.  The technical knowledge of LAN2LAN at the specification and implementation stages lead to a successfully completed project with minimal downtime and impact on end users.  The installation documentation and knowledge transfer provided by LAN2LAN has meant we have remained in a position to manage the day to day tasks in the virtualised environment whilst knowing that we can call on LAN2LAN's expertise should the need arise..”
