Is email strategic to your organization's communications even though owning and operating an email system has become complex, expensive and a drain on IT?
NearSourcing is the Answer!
Outsourcing email is an attractive option, but so-called "FREE" services can compromise the integrity of your institution, sending ads to your students and using their personal information for marketing. Fee-for-service outsourcing options are often costly and don't have your priorities in mind.
NearSource Your Email, Don't OutSource It!
NearSourcing is when a trusted provider, one who you may already work with, delivers the services you need. Merit, a non-profit service provider, has been serving the research, educational and health care communities for over 40 years. Chances are we already connect your organization to Merit's powerful fiber optic network. We are more than a service provider, we are a part of the family, accountable to you and your organization's needs from the beginning! That's NearSourcing!
Hardware and software is owned and managed by Merit —so you can skip the management headaches. Your organization does not have the capital or operating cost, nor the worries of upgrades, testing, maintenance, archiving, disaster recovery, regulatory compliance or system scaling.
MeritMail preserves the integrity of your institution – there are never any ads and your mail will never be used for marketing or other purposes. Your email is always your property.
Unlimited Storage for all MeritMail accounts. MeritMail places no limits on individual storage accounts and doesn't charge a fee for storage used.
Merit will convert your existing email account to MeritMail at a low fee per account. Merit will rapidly and seamlessly implement the conversion and preserve all your current email addresses, passwords, and mail lists. Converting to other services can cost thousands of dollars and require third part consultants as well as your IT team's time.
MeritMail saves tens of thousands of dollars per year over owning and operating your own email system.
The low cost of MeritMail will surprise you.
Unlimited storage and free conversion services are just the beginning.
One year of MeritMail (with a simple monthly fee based on your number of FTES, Faculty and/or Staff) is often less than the cost of migrating to a "free" service.
And the on-going savings of MeritMail beat the hidden costs of "free" services.
