LiveOffice and Insight Partner to Provide SaaS Email Management Solutions

TORRANCE, CA and TEMPE, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 03/30/09 -- LiveOffice, a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) email hosting, archiving and continuity solutions, and Insight, a Fortune 500 technology solutions provider, today announced they have signed an agreement to offer LiveOffice's suite of services to Insight's U.S. customers. Per this agreement, Insight will provide clients hosted solutions for email, mailbox management, email compliance and e-discovery.

"With our clients' ever-increasing interest in SaaS solutions, we were looking for a partner that could offer a breadth of email management services, from Hosted Exchange 2007 to full-featured archiving," said Steve Kedzior, senior vice president of client solutions, Insight. "LiveOffice is a partner we found that complemented their impressive offerings with an agile team able to meet our needs every step of the way by providing reliable and responsive service for our clients."

Recent industry research reveals that, "SaaS is not going away. By 2011, Gartner predicts that 25% of new business software deployments will be based on SaaS."(1) In addition, according to Enterprise Strategy Group, the number of midsize businesses using SaaS-based backup and archiving offerings is expected to double over the next two years.(2) This new partnership will help Insight expand its software-as-a-service offerings and deliver additional value to clients who are looking for the benefits of traditional hardware and software, while also trying to maximize their budgets and conserve their internal resources during these challenging economic times.

"Since launching our partner program last year, we have seen tremendous interest from value-added resellers (VARs) looking to expand their SaaS portfolios and reap the benefits of recurring revenue streams," said LiveOffice's CEO, Nick Mehta. "Entering into a partnership with a global VAR of Insight's caliber is extremely exciting for us and excellent validation for the viability of SaaS email management solutions in the channel."
