Business Challenge / Situation

Today's corporate E-mail system is an imperative communication tool for the companies.

However, in many cases the use of corporate e-mail by employees is limited to company offices only. As a result, there is a market demand for Web-based e-mail systems that could be accessed and used via a Web browser having Internet connection.

Our customer decided to fulfill this market need. To perform that task they contracted with our team. The requirements for the Web-based e-mail system were very rigorous.

The system was to have a full range of work tools assisting users in performing their duties,such as calendar, to-do list, web-based file system and others.

Solution / our approach

In response to the business needs, our team developed a high-quality Web-based e-mail system. One of the major advantages of the system is that each company can customize the system to fulfill unique business needs.

The solution consists of many modules, such as address book, calendar, to-do list, POP3 collector, e-mail filters, tab navigation bar, etc. A company user can decide which modules should be included into its corporate e-mail system.

The client may as well customize the interface of the system according to the preferences of the company employees. The solution is a unique offer on the market. Unlike most free Web-based e-mail systems with very low storage volume,the capacity can be customized to any size. The solution allows users to manage the content using a branding wizard. That enables employees to create both public and private folders.

As a result, our customer received a state-of-the-art system at a reasonable cost.
