The on-demand enterprise communication system : email technology as a Utility

In the early 20th century, the use of electricity revolutionised the way in which products were manufactured and business was conducted.

Initially, localised electricity was used, but gradually companies realised that their core competency was in the products and services they offered for sale and not the generation of electricity.

Therefore, the burden and cost of managing these infrastructures was outsourced to utility services providers who could produce a guaranteed electricity service as and when it was needed for a known cost.

In today’s business world,  a similar paradigm is evolving in IT.

The Intercom On Demand System allows organisations of every size to purchase Information Technology e-mail services as they would purchase electricity from a utility company.

The e-mail revolution

Since its inception, E-mail has completely changed the way in which modern business is transacted, and as the 21st century’s primary communication service, it is the business critical application throughout companies of all sizes.

E-mail provides immediate communication, it is not governed by time zones, it is not limited to available coverage, and it is pervasive across all elements of society and business on a variety of devices.

Unfortunately the e-mail world has also produced a new generation of business predators. Today’s virus and hacker-rich environment, together with the apparently endless amount of unsolicited spam, can have crippling effects on efficient business management.

To run a sophisticated multi user, enterprise-class e-mail server is now a 24 hour 7 days a week job which necessitates incurring the burden and cost of acquiring, implementing, administering and supporting server hardware, software, virus checkers, anti spam services, with all the ongoing requisite backups and upgrades

Put simply it is no longer cost-effective for businesses to maintain their own in-house mail server.

E-mail that works when, you need it - anytime, anyplace, on any device.
