Email hosting
There are many benefits attached to email hosting for UK businesses. It’s vital that we don’t underestimate how much the businesses of today rely on e-mail. E-mail is one of the most effective communication channels available to employers, employees and customers and plays a pivotal role in the day-to-day running of businesses. More and more companies and organisations are switching to hosted e-mail solutions to improve manageability and modernise their operations. Let’s take a look at some of the key advantages of moving to e-mail hosting right now.
Why move e-mail to the cloud?
When you move your e-mail into the cloud, you can benefit from a scalable, efficient service, shared calendars and contacts with ease and make the process of collaboration so much easier and affordable. E-mail hosting removes the requirement for in-house server hardware and the management costs and challenges that come with it. All you require to take advantage of hosted e-mail solutions is internet access and your devices. E-mail is accessed when you log in via the secure site. What’s more is that it’s easy to scale up and down in line with the changing requirements of your enterprise.
Simple sharing and collaboration
With hosted e-mail, you can share data and contact others from anywhere you are in the world as long as you have an internet connection, at any time. This ensures you can achieve the business continuity and efficiency you desire no matter where you, your employees and colleagues are situated. Full management is carried out by your service provider. At Swift Internet, we have an incredible track record when it comes to providing hosted e-mail solutions to companies and organisations from a wide range of industry sectors.
Automatic updates and upgrades
You don’t need to carry out any upgrades and repairs yourself as these will be implemented on your behalf, by leading internet connectivity specialists. All patching is handled on your behalf, with software updates and upgrades for your anti-spam and anti-virus software, applications and operating systems also being implemented by our expert team. The challenges attached to e-mail management have grown over time, which explains why so many companies are now gravitating towards hosted e-mail.
Enhanced reputations
Hosted e-mail can also grant you extra credibility due to the way that your e-mail addresses will include your business domain name. Servers are protected with robust encryption, ensuring unauthorised parties are unable to access it. We can provide you with all the storage space you need, whilst keeping spam messages out of your mailbox.
Our primary hosted e-mail solutions
Swift Internet provides two popular hosted e-mail solutions: SwiftEmail and SwiftXmail. SwiftEmail offers POP3/IMAP Email with smartphone synchronisation, with SwiftXmail giving you advanced e-mail with team sharing features. Each solution offers cloud-based e-mail features, allowing you to synchronise data between devices including laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. SwiftXmail also provides a host of team collaboration features for calendaring, scheduling, tasks and contacts, using a range of industry-standard protocols like Exchange ActiveSync, CalDAV, CardDAV, and SyncML.
Secure hosting servers
There are also various important reasons for using secure hosting servers to protect confidential information included in your email communications. There have been countless horror stories about businesses accidentally leaking sensitive information about themselves, their customers, clients and more over recent years. Without the right protection in place, you could fail to adhere to what is expected of you in terms of compliance and therefore face tough penalties whilst losing the confidence of your customers and harming your reputation. At Swift Internet, we can put the right solutions in place to stop this from happening.
