SEDA-COG wins award for anti-spam efforts

LEWISBURG -- Sendio, Inc. has announced SEDA-COG as winner of the 2010 Best Deployment Scenario Award in the category of anti-spam as a managed service. The award is presented by Info Security Products Guide.

Sendio, based in Newport Beach, CA, is the developer of e-mail system protection solutions. SEDA-COG was cited for its deployment of Sendio’s e-mail system protection service, Full Defense, which resulted in a 97% reduction of the bandwidth used for e-mail and total elimination of junk email at the agency.

SEDA-COG contacted Sendio as part of an initiative to move a number of information technology (IT) applications to Internet-based service in order to improve limited bandwidth. Working closely with Sendio engineers, SEDA-COG migrated to Sendio Full Defense service in 2009, saving the organization nearly 100 man-hours each week, drastically reducing e-mail bandwidth requirements, and removing the heavy mail load from the agency’s Microsoft Exchange server.

“The most powerful message security vendors can ever give to prove their capabilities and continued commitment in solving customer’s security needs is through successful deployments,” said Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide. “Sendio’s successful deployment at SEDA-COG helped solve the critical problem of securing company e-mail, while leveraging the benefits of a managed anti-spam service--freeing up critical internal resources and network bandwidth for other projects.”

“We’re pleased to be recognized by Info Security Products Guide in this important category,” said Jonathan Niednagel, chief executive officer of Sendio. “Our team of e-mail experts works closely with customers to not only deliver solutions that secure the e-mail network, but also address their most pressing IT needs. In the case of

SEDA-COG, this meant maximizing internal IT time and resources. Sendio’s managed anti-spam service, Full Defense, allowed the agency to do precisely that, freeing up valuable bandwidth, and greatly reducing the internal resources dedicated to e-mail.

We are delighted to have had the opportunity to work with SEDA-COG on this particular project, and see them obtain the measurable results that they did.”
