In-house vs. Outsourcing Email

Switching your email from an in-house solution to a fully managed, outsourced email solution is certainly a lot easier than you may think. At Cobweb we make the switch for you, with no interruptions or loss of data and before you know it you’ll be up and running with a reliable hosted email solution that just works!

If you need further support once you’re up and running, our 24/7 UK based support team are just an email or phone call away. With email outsourcing from Cobweb your business instantly achieves many business benefits:

No Capital Expenditure and Predictable monthly costs

Choosing to move to an outsourced email solution gives you the flexibility to manage your costs without having the initial upfront investment required from an in-house solution. You only pay for the resources you use; giving monthly predictable costs, from as little as £3.29 per user, per month.

Research shows* that the average spend per user on a in-house managed solution is estimated to be £1000 per user, per annum. With a hosted email solution you would pay £40 per user, per annum.

Certified Data and Security Integrity

Cobweb ensures security and privacy of your data by being accredited with ISO27001 Certification. You can therefore be confident that your data is safe and will always be available to you, and only you, reducing business risk. Our hosted email solution protects you from the ever changing threat of viruses, other malware and phishing scams. We have partnered with Symantec.cloud to provide a 100% no virus guarantee for all users of the service.

No more expensive upgrades

Cobweb constantly invest in new technologies and will upgrade the underlying technology as part of the service when it becomes available, providing your business with the latest and greatest tools to empower your employees without the ongoing investment costs required from an in-house infrastructure.

24/7 Support

With over 15 years experience, our expert team are available 24/7 to help you when you need it. Whether you are without an IT department or require an extension to your IT department, we help can with everything from setting up of your new mailboxes, redirecting your e mail to helping you configure all your PCs and devices.

Reliability

With over 5,000 business email customers you can rely on us to ensure your services are reliable and available. With a 99.96% platform uptime in 2012 you can be confident the technology will work for you when you need it.

Scalable

With a pay-as-you go monthly scheme and no upfront investment costs you can quickly and easily scale to suit your business – paying only for what you need.

Reduce your carbon footprint

As well as reducing the cost of ownership for your IT systems, Cobweb’s services can also help you reduce the amount of energy your business consumes. Cobweb’s shared platforms provide optimal use of power, meaning you reduce the amount of electricity used.

An extension to your IT department

Managing an in-house server can be time consuming and if database limits are exceeded, staff can experience hours of downtime in order to get it back up and running. This overtime can become inefficient and prevent people from performing their roles. With Cobweb’s outsourced email solution you can free up your IT team to focus on the more strategic IT needs of your business and remove any concerns you may have with limited resources.
