Everyone.net Announces 100 Education Customers
Now Use its Outsourced Email
Cal State University Channel Islands Selects Everyone.net
Fast-growing university outsources email to reduce cost of providing communication
solution to students during severe state budget cuts
San Jose, CA. December 8, 2003 — Everyone.net, a leading provider of affordable, carrier-class email services, today announced its 100th education customer, as California State University Channel Islands selects Everyone.net to provide an email box to every enrolled student. The university is deploying Everyone.net's Web-based email service to save money over internally-managed alternatives, while still bringing full-featured email to students.
According to Peter Mosinskis, Coordinator of Web Services for CSU Channel Islands, the university looked into internally-managed email, but a cost-comparison showed significant money and IT staff resources could be saved by outsourcing to Everyone.net.
The public university is facing severe budget cuts from the state of California, even as it is expected to grow from 2,300 students enrolled today, to 15,000 students served by 2025. Such budget cuts and growing student populations reflect trends that are triggering the use of outsourced services such as Everyone.net's.
Everyone.net allows the university to roll out full-featured email cost-effectively, with no capital expenditures, and to scale with the student growth.
"We felt that because Everyone.net currently handles large volumes of email, they are a dependable partner. Plus, their email service has strong spam and virus protection, and a complete feature set, which were requirements," Mosinskis stated.
"We didn't want the educational goals of this email system to be obscured by spam," Mosinskis explained. "Our pilot test with students indicates they are very pleased with the customizable levels of spam protection."
Everyone.net's email service includes mailboxes with user and administrator controls, plus custom storage, anti-spam and virus protection, and other functionality. The service allows administrators to implement tailored configurations that meet all student privacy and data-security regulations, and to control the look and feel of the login page.
"Everyone.net's flexible solution paths let us meet each educational institution's needs," said Josh Mailman, vice president of marketing for Everyone.net. "Today we serve 100 schools, universities and other learning institutions with services from web email for students and faculty to affinity email for college sports and alumni groups to comprehensive solutions including Web, IMAP, POP, SMTP, spam and virus protection for entire campuses. We expect to work with many more education institutions in the future."
Other Everyone.net education customers include Missouri College, American InterContinental University - London, and Official College Sports Network.
Everyone.net's email service is built on a scalable, reliable messaging platform that provides rich functionality and great flexibility at a low cost to its customers.
