Microsoft to Acquire FrontBridge
21st July 2005
Acquisition will enable Microsoft to minimize spam and viruses and ensure e-mail availability in the case of a disaster.
Microsoft Corp., yesterday announced that it will acquire FrontBridge Technologies Inc., a provider of secure messaging services. Terms of the acquisition were not announced.
According to Microsoft, this acquistion will help them to enforce compliance through archiving and minimizing spam and viruses as also ensuring email availability in the case of a disaster. The company also claims that, FrontBridge's service-delivery model can be applied to organizations using other SMTP-compliant e-mail servers, requires no upfront capital investment and minimizes IT management overhead.
"Our commitment to listening and responding to customers really drove the union with FrontBridge, because both companies are focused on solving the same difficult messaging challenge -- ensuring customers' e-mail is compliant, better protected from spam and virus threats, and always available, even in the case of unforeseeable disaster," said Dave Thompson, corporate vice president of the Exchange Server Group at Microsoft. "The FrontBridge team brings significant expertise in helping customers mitigate messaging risks before they ever reach the corporate firewall."
