Oxfordshire County Council Deploys FrontBridge Managed Email Security Service Publication date: Wednesday, 01 June 2005 Scalable outsourced solution delivered in partnership with IBM provides clean email pipeline, improving internal IT processes LONDON - June 1, 2005 - FrontBridge Technologies Inc., a leading provider of secure managed messaging services, today announced that Oxfordshire County Council has deployed FrontBridge's email security services to protect council staff within the local authority from inappropriate email. FrontBridge's managed messaging services are delivered in the UK as part of IBM Global Services' Managed Messaging Services. FrontBridge's perimeter-based managed services ensure the integrity and security of electronic messaging before passage in and out of corporate network gateways. FrontBridge pioneered the concept of Total Message Management, delivering multiple messaging services with the ease and convenience of a single provider for an organization's comprehensive messaging requirements. Government Priority to Slash Administrative Costs; Improve Frontline Services Oxfordshire County Council provides a range of key services to the people of Oxfordshire. Each year the council manages £6 billion of public money in the provision of these services on behalf of Oxfordshire's 615,000 people. The council is composed of 70 democratically elected county councillors and employs 19,000 people to deliver its services. The council's priority is to keep administrative costs to a minimum so that as much money as possible is available for providing frontline services. Technology has played an integral role and the implementation of the FrontBridge Email Security Service in 2005 resulted in a reduction of spam, viruses and false positives to the Oxfordshire County Council email servers. "The administrative burden of tackling the spam and virus problems in house was becoming excessive for some of our ICT staff, effecting the level of support we could maintain in other aspects of IT," said Stephan Conaway, Head of ICT Services, Oxfordshire County Council. "With FrontBridge we're able to be more efficient and more effective." "Local council service delivery to UK citizens is the public face of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's e-Government strategy. Our services maximise efficiency of the email communication between the council and its various constituencies," said Craig Whitney, director Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA), FrontBridge. Oxfordshire County Council are successfully using the FrontBridge solution for corporate emails and are actively investigating applying the same solution for schools based emails.
