Volume reduction

• 40% to 50%+ reduction of your email and collaboration network traffic
• 40% to 50%+ reduction of the existing amount of data stored on your email and collaboration servers
• 40% to 50%+ reduction of your network bandwidth needs

Reduction of resource consumption (CPU, disk IOs, time)

40% to 50%+ reduction of the amount of resources (CPU, disk IOs, time) needed on your servers to handle the email and collaboration data, since every single transaction processing a file (routing, insertion into and extraction from the email and collaboration server stores, indexing, archiving etc.) consumes two times less resources with a file of a size reduced by 50% by our solutions.

Performance Improvements

40% to 50%+ performance improvements, since every single transaction processing a file (upload, routing, download, insertion into and extraction from the email and collaboration server stores etc.) is two times faster with a file of a given size reduced by 50% by our solutions.

Cost reductions

Reduction of the costs of operating your email and collaboration platforms, opportunities to delay IT infrastructure investments, opportunity to host more users on your existing infrastructures.

User Satisfaction

Better user satisfaction index thanks to faster email and collaboration applications.

We focus on the most resource-consuming email and collaboration items: files

Since files (like email attached files, SharePoint and OneDrive files for instance) represent 90% or more of the data volume generated and handled on your email and collaboration platforms, our software solutions work on making all files sent, stored and received on these platforms significantly smaller, and this being done automatically and transparently.

Our software solutions include state-of-the-art file volume reduction features like:

• Native XML file optimization for all MS Office files
• Native image file optimization for all image files
• Native image file optimization for pasted images
• Industry-standard zip compression for file formats that cannot be natively optimized
• Optimized PDF file conversion

These optimization features are embedded in an extensive and modular portfolio of solutions enabling to:

• Reduce the amount of data generated by the users of your email and collaboration platforms at the source
• Reduce the amount of data already stored on these platforms
• Reduce the amount of data coming from the outside and received by these platforms

Transparency

It is essential to point out that using our optimization software is fully automatic and transparent for your users as well as for the recipients and the consumers of the optimized files, even if they are outside your organization and not equipped with any of our software.

Cloud is unlimited! Really?

Well, in the real world, "unlimited" plans are only available until you start using it. This was illustrated by Microsoft themselves; "Microsoft drops unlimited OneDrive storage after people have used it for unlimited storage" There is no such thing as unlimited resources provided at no cost, except in promo marketing talks.

Cloud storage is cheap! Yes, but...

Even if Cloud storage is apparently cheap, you still need to access it. The larger is the amount of data to access (download, upload, synchronize, backup, restore etc.) in the Cloud, the more time it takes and the more network bandwidth it consumes. When all of your email and collaboration platform users are moved to the Cloud, every single bit of email and collaboration data sent by user A to user B has to go up and down to the Cloud, even if B is A's next door colleague. This puts a serious pressure on your network links to the Cloud and on their ability to convey this new traffic rapidly.

Once your migration to the Cloud is achieved...

Once your migration to the Cloud is completed, most of your IT infrastructure will most probably be decommissioned in time, and your IT team reduced to what is needed to manage your cloud-based applications. The more time passes, the more the migration to the Cloud looks like a one-way journey with no or very complicated and expensive way back. When this time arrives, you will probably be in better position with two times less data stored in the Cloud and with IT processing needs kept under strict control, because the costs of the cloud resources consumed by your email and collaboration platforms could very well increase significantly.
