Recently recognized by leading analyst industry firm Gartner, Inc. as the largest provider of outsourced email archiving services in North America based on total number of clients as of yearend 20081, LiveOffice is expanding its partner program to better meet the evolving needs of its partner community. “Cloud-based email archiving is hot, and our enhanced program provides LiveOffice partners with all of the tools they need to hit the ground running,” said Jim O’Hara, vice president of sales and business development for LiveOffice. “As more resellers look to expand their SaaS offerings around email, our solutions provide unique value for them by creating a recurring revenue stream, keeping their margins intact and helping build their SaaS portfolio.” LiveOffice continues to ride the rapidly growing wave of interest around cloud-based email archiving.
The email archiving market, according to Gartner, grew by 25.7 percent in 2008.2 In addition, Gartner estimates that “the number of customers using [hosted] service providers for email archiving grew 59 percent in 2008 to reach 23,624 organizations, while the growth in the number of [on-premise] product customers grew only 26 percent to reach 29,092.”2 As more organizations look to migrate to cloud-based email (Microsoft Exchange Online, Google Gmail, etc.), the resulting market potential for hosted archiving is expected to grow significantly.
