EasyStreet Launches New Business Email Service - posted by Day Tooley

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

How much does your email cost?

It turns out that the biggest “cost” is time. More specifically, time wasted on . . .

1. Unnecessary email (spam)
2. Effects of virus infections
3. Loss of efficiency by not having access to your email from where you are

Small business has been battling #1 and #2 for some time. Affordable tools only can go so far. The more effective business-class anti-spam/anti-virus solutions are clearly out of reach for smaller companies.

For example, if you have 12 employees with business email, your 12 employees are wasting 160 hours each year dealing with unwanted email. That alone translates into $3,200 in annual productivity costs. (Compute your actual lost-time cost with this tool.)

#3 has been addressed by large companies who can afford to buy and support in-house mail servers. Access to office information from anywhere is having a profound effect on improving efficiency in large companies. Telecommuting, laptops, PDAs and cell phones all can share contact lists, documents, calendars and email in real time.

So what is the total cost of your current email?

You will likely discover that your email costs more than EasyStreet’s new Hosted Exchange/Outlook 2003 Email service officially launched today. If you have under 100 employees, you can now afford these business-class assets without even trying to approximate them with the higher-cost Microsoft Small Business Server located at your office.
