Non-profit organizations are active in a wide range of areas, including the environment, humanitarian aid, animal protection, education, the arts, social issues, charities, early childhood education, health care, politics, religion, research, sports or other endeavors. Non-profits are generally regulated by the Federal government in their practices and almost always very conscientious about their fiscal responsibilities. As such, IMail Server offers a low-cost alternative to comparable enterprise systems.
When Presbyterian Homes decided to rollout new email services for its 75 end-users, the organization faced a clear challenge: find a low-cost email solution that users and administrators could adapt to quickly.
“Many users did not have experience with corporate email,” said Carl Waterhouse, Chief Information Officer for Presbyterian Homes. “We needed an intuitive solution they could learn easily. We also wanted to find an email solution easy to administer so we would not have to allocate an exorbitant amount of staff time.”
“I worked with IMail Server at a previous company, so I already knew just how easy it was to administer and how easy it was for users to learn,” Waterhouse said. She also knew IMail Server would save Presbyterian Homes a considerable amount of money. “IMail Server costs about 10-percent of the up front cost of Microsoft Exchange,” Waterhouse said. “On an on-going basis, the hidden costs are much less too in terms of the amount of administration time and learning by end users.”
