Singer Recaptures $40,000 in Lost Productivity Costs With Hosted E-Mail Filtering

Overview Singer Sewing Company manufacturers and distributes its sewing products worldwide. As a global manufacturer, Singer depends on its e-mail system. But, in 2003, the company found its corporate e-mail network threatened by an overwhelming amount of spam messages - about 100,000 per month. Worried about productivity losses involved in handling the spam, Singer signed up for Microsoft Exchange Hosted Filtering service. With this service, Singer quickly recaptured about U.S.$40,000 in lost productivity costs. Singer has blocked thousands of spam messages and viruses each month, and now has a backup that keeps e-mail messages from being lost when its usual e-mail system is out of service.
