AUSTIN, Texas----Boulevard Brewing Company is well known for serving up tall cold ones –
but like all businesses, the largest specialty brewer in the Midwest
could not afford for its email to go cold. With assistance from
MessageOne, the leading business continuity and email management
company, Boulevard recently deployed MessageOne’s
EMS Email Management Services to protect the fast-growing company from
all of the key threats to email that organizations face.
Fast Growing Company Faces Email Complexity
As the largest specialty brewer in the Midwest, Boulevard has
experienced steady growth and has achieved a significant presence in
eleven states. As the company expands, its business increasingly relies
on email for business communications within the company and also for
business and relations with vendors, suppliers, clients and customers.
Unfortunately, as the company has grown and email volume has increased,
so have the risks to email including unplanned outages, security threats
with spam and viruses, data loss windows, server and storage performance
issues, and the need to produce emails if required for legal or
compliance purposes.
Email Management Covers All Risks
“Email is a vital part of our business –
representing critical communications that impact revenue and
productivity. It must be protected,” said Tony
Lux, Purveyor of Technology for Boulevard. “With
limited IT resources, we needed to maximize our investment with a
solution that provided us full assurance email would always be
available, would be secure, and that no email would ever be lost.
MessageOne offers the most complete email management suite that meets
our email needs today and provides a solid email foundation as we
continue to grow our company.”
Boulevard’s most pressing requirements were to
handle email continuity, so that outages would not impact the important
flow of business email, and to seize control of an increasing influx of
spam and viruses that were compromising email security. As a small
business, the team was also seeking a fully managed service, that was
simple to implement and deploy, and did not require large capital
expenses. MessageOne’s EMS solution was the
perfect recipe. With the full complement of email services provided
through EMS email continuity, recovery, security and archive,
Boulevard easily solved their immediate email concerns and mitigated
critical risks.

“With MessageOne’s
EMS, our customers are free to concentrate on their business and not
waste precious time and resources worrying about email –
we’ve got them covered,”
said MessageOne Vice President of Product Management, Bryan Rollins. “Boulevard
has earned a strong reputation for its specialty beers and has
tremendous potential for business expansion. Along with growth comes
added complexity for their email system, including issues with email
archiving, storage, and legal compliance. We stand by them with the
perfect email brew to ensure email communications are always on tap and
that email management is served up right.”
