MessageGate and Microland form Strategic Marketing Alliance

MessageGate, Inc., a leader in enterprise security and compliance solutions, and Microland Limited, an IT infrastructure management and technical support services company, today announced a strategic alliance to deliver messaging security solutions to Fortune 1000 enterprises. The partnership will enable MessageGate and Microland to address a broader market, leverage a combined install base, and deliver greater value to customers.

MessageGate’s security and compliance solutions, originally developed to protect one of the largest corporate networks in the world, enable large enterprises to address the immediate need for tight messaging security. Through inbound and outbound messaging controls, MessageGate’s software blocks unwanted messages and enforces corporate and regulatory policies that govern electronic communications. The company’s software products install seamlessly at the perimeter and integrate easily with existing corporate messaging systems.

“We saw immediate value in MessageGate’s software and services, especially from a security, scalability and reliability perspective,” said Pradip Madan, President of Microland USA operations. “The anticipated growth in e-mail traffic to over 60 billion messages per day in 2006 combined with new forms of message-based communications will only heighten the need for flexible, scalable messaging security solutions such as the MessageGate product. Together, the two companies make excellent partners in the messaging world.”
