BBG SP partners with SYNAQ

Johannesburg, 07 May 2010

BBG Service Provider (SP), a converged communication and cloud computing services company, has joined forces with SYNAQ to deliver SYNAQ's Cloud Messaging Services. SYNAQ is a leader in the South African open source/SaaS (software as a service) community.

This follows the recent launch of SYNAQ's channel partner programme for ISPs, ISVs and system integrators. The programme enables SYNAQ's partners to provide cost-effective, value-added, cloud-based solutions to their customers.

According to BBG SP Sales Director, Grant Thom, the company provides underlying infrastructure and services for all communication requirements beyond the LAN. This is provisioned in a completely network agnostic format.

“We provide capacity on best-of-breed national and international infrastructures, to create uniquely bundled services that are applicable to a client's needs. Access to business-critical applications in the cloud is reinforcing the business drivers for high-speed, redundant connectivity.

“After careful evaluation of cloud messaging services, we found SYNAQ to be the market leaders. Not only are they highly respected, but continuously add value far beyond the traditional mail messaging boundaries. In alignment with the BBG SP value proposition, the partnership with SYNAQ therefore provides our clients with a quality cloud messaging solution,” he said.

SYNAQ CEO Yossi Hasson said the company has developed a strong and redundant messaging infrastructure over the past five years, which partners like BBG SP could leverage to provide their customers with essential messaging services.

These are based on SYNAQ's flagship products, developed on open source platforms: Pinpoint SecureMail, a messaging hygiene offering designed to eliminate spam and malicious viruses from customers' networks; Pinpoint Continuity, which provides full redundancy for mail infrastructure; Pinpoint Archive, providing tamper-proof unlimited storage e-mail retention, and SYNAQ Cloud Messaging Suite, a full messaging and collaboration solution powered by Zimbra.

“We are delighted that a company of BBG SP's reputation and experience has chosen to partner with SYNAQ and include our solutions as part of their value proposition to their customers,” Hasson concluded.
