Rockliffe Integrates Email Hosting Solution With Sphera's Web HostingBusiness Suite for Service Providers and Carriers

Campbell, CA and Newton, MA (ots)

Integrated Solution Speeds
Time-to-Market, Reduces Costs, Increases Revenues and Improves
Customer Satisfaction
Rockliffe, Inc., a leading developer of email and messaging
software, and Sphera Corporation, the leading global developer of Web
hosting automation and management software, today announced that
Rockliffe MailSite version 5 has been fully integrated with Sphera's
market-leading HostingBusiness Suite(TM), a comprehensive Web hosting
automation and management solution. MailSite is an email server that
can be easily installed and managed by hosting providers and site
owners using Sphera's 'point & click' interface. Hosting providers
and resellers are now able to quickly deploy a robust Windows-based
email service, resulting in reduced administration costs, increased
revenue generation opportunities and improved customer satisfaction.
Sphera's HostingBusiness Suite comprises HostingDirector(R) and
ResellerDirector(TM). HostingDirector streamlines the complete
hosting business cycle and delivers dramatic cost savings by
automating and simplifying Web hosting operations, reducing IT
overheard and support costs, and optimizing server hardware
utilization. ResellerDirector enables all aspects of operations from
account creation and provisioning through inventory and account
management to branding, billing and ticketing.
"The integration of MailSite into Sphera's modular solution meant
that we were able to reduce deployment time and management
complexity," said Paul Morgan, technical director of Mitsu-W, a
London-based Internet service provider that has been using MailSite
and HostingDirector for eight months. "We could provision customer
services more rapidly and at a lower cost. Since installation of this
solution, we achieved 100% email uptime with zero maintenance."
Sphera's HostingDirector customers can offer single sign-on (SSO)
account password capabilities for email and hosting by leveraging the
MailSite product integration. This results in decreased
administration costs while increasing revenues by offering value-
added email services. Although Sphera's solution provides robust
application program interfaces (API) for integrating with third-
party programs, Rockliffe's MailSite is fully provisioned to help
hosting providers get to market quickly with a complete Windows-
based hosting solution.
"Like all service providers and carriers, Rockliffe's customers
are under increasing market pressure to minimize overhead and provide
new services to their clients," said John Davies, Rockliffe's
president and chief executive officer. "The integration of MailSite
with HostingDirector will further enable our customers to respond to
this challenge by launching cost-effective, value-added services
ahead of their competition."
"In today's hosting market, site owners want to make choices
regarding which applications and services they use in order to gain
full control over their hosting operations," said Tamar Naor, chief
executive officer of Sphera. "We are excited to add Rockliffe's
MailSite to our list of Sphera-enabled applications, because it
allows us to offer our hosting customers a leading email solution.
Our collaboration with Rockliffe is yet another example of how we
work closely with strategic partners to offer our customers a broad
range of market leading applications."
