Manufacturer Reduces Spam Threat, Boosts Worker Productivity With Hosted Solution

Overview Gates Corporation is a Colorado-based manufacturing firm that produces automotive and industrial products for customers around the world. Many of the company's employees depend on e-mail to keep in touch with each other and with customers. However, these workers experienced productivity problems resulting from a proliferation of spam messages in their e-mail inboxes. In November 2006, Gates decided to deploy Microsoft Exchange Hosted Filtering, a hosted solution that provides multiengine spam- and virus-scanning capabilities. Since that deployment, the company has eliminated 99 percent of spam messages, freeing up IT staff members to devote more time to researching new products, while taking advantage of the solution's easy administration. Exchange Hosted Filtering has also helped increase the company's network bandwidth.
