OK to GO - Computer Support & Services

Most organizations are highly protective of their email system, as they should be. All research points to continuing dominance of email as the primary mode of business communications, making these systems mission-critical for most organizations. In other words, when email fails, business suffers – sometimes dramatically.

It's no wonder that companies feel proprietary about their messaging systems, and are often loathe to outsource them: the wrong choice of technology or providor can disrupt an organization for months, and is instantly visible to ALL members of an organization, from administrative assistants to CEOs and board members.

At OK to GO, we recognize the mission-critical nature of email, and we have dedicated ourselves to building a world-class solution, infrastructure and operations for hosting and management of Email messaging systems. We strongly believe that for many organizations, the hosted and managed solutions provide distinct advantages.

In other words, while messaging is a mission critical system for your organization, it is not a core business function of your company. It is, however, our core business function, and we do it better than anyone in the world.

Our Email solution includes advanced protection from the worst security threats on the Internet, including anti-virus technology that is updated hourly (or more often during the worst attacks), as well as protection against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, Directory Harvest Attacks, and more. OK to GO calls these protections our Email Perimeter Services.

Our Email Perimeter Services provide an email boundary solution that prevents dangerous email messages from damaging a company's network, reputation, or business relationships. By blocking unwanted email messages before they reach your network, our Email Perimeter Services provide a critical level of security for your systems.

Note that our standard Hosted Email mailboxes include advanced virus protection, content control and spam control. Advanced options for Spam Control and Content Control are available on a company by company basis.

How Email Perimeter Services Work
Our Perimeter Services scan incoming and outgoing messages for words, phrases, images, and attachments that violate our standard email policy. (We define a default policy, but this can be customized on a company by company basis.) Policies within our Perimeter Services track any text string and assign it a quantifiable threat quotient, providing a high degree of flexibility in defining corporate email policies. A unique lexical weighting and keyword detection system determines which messages reach their assigned recipient, and which messages may be blocked or deleted. The entire process takes just milliseconds and is completely transparent to sender and recipient.

Virus Protection
Our Perimeter Services use highly-advanced anti-virus technology to detect and block more than 180,000 known viruses and their variants that can be embedded in email attachments. Definitions are updated on an hourly basis—even more often when serious new threats are identified—ensuring uninterrupted protection for all your users. Our Virus Protection is included in all of our mailbox services.

Spam Control
Spam is bothersome at best, and can be dangerous in the worst cases, clogging mailboxes with unwanted solicitations and leaving your company open to lawsuits for inappropriate content. Our Email Perimeter Services track this spam and blocks it using the very latest technologies for content analysis and filtering. Spam Control is configured as standard on all of our mailboxes.

Content Control
Our service can prevent transmission of large video or audio files and offensive content, protecting your employees from distractions and preventing your network from clogging up. Proprietary information is protected. Our Content Control includes a default policy to block some files, but this can be customized on a company by company basis as well.

Our prices are competetive but may not be the cheapest. We continualy invest in our systems to ensure we can cope with demand, keep our promises and delivery a first class service at all times.
