3rd January 2008

-- C2C signs Fortuna Power Systems, NAS, NexStor and PFH Ireland - leading IT integration and communication solutions providers.
New signings show immediate customer wins for C2C at Council of Mortgage Lenders. --

Reading, UK, 3 January 2008– C2C, the leading provider of email data management solutions, today announced four new signings to its new UK channel partner programme with Fortuna Power Systems, NAS, NexStor and PFH Ireland. All the partners involved have demonstrated the capabilities and support required to implement C2C’s best-of-breed email data management solutions that span from the enterprise to the mainstream SMB market.

“Selection of these four new partners has been mutual. We see that they demonstrate skills in the Exchange marketplace and also offer different vertical and geographical markets for C2C to penetrate. In turn, they recognise the effectiveness, simplicity and ease of use that Archive One promotes – locating emails in seconds and ensuring customers are fully compliant with demonstrable processes that show due diligence.” noted Dave Hunt, CEO, C2C.

With email now established as the primary communication method for business and email mailbox and attachment size rising exponentially, C2C expects to announce more significant channel signings in the near future.

NexStor saw immediate tangible benefits recommending Archive One into the Council of Mortgage Lenders. The Council wanted to introduce an effective, robust, email compliance system that fulfilled its data storage requirements.  Liz Porter, Senior IT adviser, Council of Mortgage Lenders noted, "We communicate with lenders, government and stakeholders on many sensitive policy and legally binding issues.  It is crucial that all our email data and correspondence can be stored in ways that fulfil our legal obligations.  We found this protection by using Archive One from C2C. Its Compliance Manager seamlessly offers a secure, indexed email archive and actually reduces our storage volumes.  We are now able to track down any email quickly and easily.”

“For us (at Fortuna) the decision was relatively simple – our customers need to find ways of managing email; locating and identifying emails that are part of a corporate governance strategy and retaining them on a tiered storage archive; and reducing the size of the email stores, which helps improve their system performance and reduces their backup/restore times. We evaluated other solutions in the marketplace which turned out to be prohibitively expensive, did not scale well or placed heavy demands on resources, making them difficult to manage and implement and we’re pleased with our decision to recommend C2C. We look forward to a long relationship.” Ray Quattromini, Managing Director, Fortuna Power Systems Ltd. 

All the channel companies mentioned will be able to recommend all C2C solutions, including Archive One for email archiving and MaX Compression for automatic and transparent compression of attachments.
