SaaShost.net Press Releases

A New Company, SaaShost.net, is Launched After the Reorganization of The Message Center

Hosted services solutions remain the same, but reorganization launches a new brand and a new website

Newark, CA – May 18, 2011 – After 7 years of successful operations as The Message Center, a leading provider of hosted email, CRM and collaboration services, the company has reorganized and today relaunched itself under a new brand name, SaaShost.net (www.saashost.net).

SaaShost.net sells its services directly to end-user customers and will continue providing its worldwide customer base with the same wide variety of Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings as The Message Center. Effective today, The Message Center has ceased operations under that brand name.

"This reorganization allows us to complete the evolution of The Message Center into SaaShost.net, and sets the table for the introduction in the months ahead of new service offerings, features and capabilities for our customers," said Darrek Porter, VP of Marketing and Corporate Communications for SaaShost.net. “This change in brand name does not require our customers to make any changes to their services or their relationship with us. With SaaShost.net, our primary goal is to continue providing high levels of services to The Message Center’s legacy customers and also new customers who want to take advantage of all the benefits SaaS can and does deliver to their overall productivity and profitability.”

SaaShost.net's Cloud platform, architected from the ground up to be versatile enough to meet the specific customization needs of varied businesses, provides customers with access to both open source and leading industry-standards enterprise class hosted services. SaaShost.net specializes in hosted Microsoft applications like Microsoft Exchange email, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft SharePoint, as well as leading alternative services like VMWare's Zimbra platform, NotifySync and others.

SaaShost.net stands apart from the competition with a SaaS delivery platform that has unique integrated features and services. SaaShost.net is the only hosted services provider that offers both Microsoft Exchange and Zimbra with supported migration between the two services, and couples those services with NotifySync. The company also offers automated integration between Microsoft Exchange and Global Relay, and other features that enable 3rd party application integrations that increase the power and productivity of its customer's SaaS services.

SaaShost.net remains different from other hosted service providers by continuing The Message Center's valued traditions of offering low prices along with no hidden setup fees, support fees or cancellation fees. SaaShost.net will be announcing new features, services and capabilities to its customers in the weeks and months ahead.

The upgrade has enhanced the feature-rich email and collaboration solution, allowing new data sharing functionality, expanded calendaring and search, as well as increased management ability for end-users.

The platform has been optimized for both casual and power users in the 7.1 update, with new capabilities in the Zimbra Web Client that improve the "share more, send less" concept embodied in the platform.  New capabilities in Hosted VMware Zimbra version 7 include:

*  New Scheduling Wizard and other Calendar enhancements
*  Self-Restore Deleted Items
*  Briefcase File Versioning and Check In/Check Out Control
*  GAL (Global Address List) People Search
*  Email and SMS Event Reminders

SaaSHost.net Now Offering New Hosted ‘BES OnDemand’ Service At No Charge To Exchange 2010 Customers

SaaSHost.net One of First Providers To Offer Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Free

NEWARK, CA – January 16, 2012 – SaaSHost.net (www.saashost.net) a leading provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) business apps that are affordable and easy to deploy, announced today that it is now offering a free Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) solution to customers who purchase its Hosted Microsoft Exchange 2010 service.

BES OnDemand, which is virtually identical in features and functionality to the legacy Hosted BES offering from SaaSHost.net that is configured with the previous Exchange 2007 platform, delivers significant savings to customers needed access to this enterprise-class application.

To access the no-cost BES OnDemand, users need only a BES Data Plan or a BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) plan provided by their wireless provider, and the BlackBerry smartphone itself. As a result, customers avoid all the software licensing costs and client-access license fees normally associated with BES offerings from other providers.

A SaaSHost.net spokesperson said that SaaSHost made the shift to a free BES OnDemand offering because the industry appears to slowly be shifting to lower-cost BES services in the months ahead. By being one of the first to offer a free BES hosted service, SaaSHost.net believes that it will win new customers who recognize the significant higher costs savings they can incur by securing Hosted Exchange 2010 services in the short term from SaaSHost.net
