Why Outsource?

Hosted, Fully-Managed Services

Global Relay's suite of Hosted Messaging Services is an outsourced solution that offers:

• seamless, turn-key solution that integrates with your system and is activated within hours
• no overheads, special equipment, programming, hardware, software or other capital outlays

In contrast to Global Relay's Hosted Services, the same solution built in-house has many disadvantages, including:

• significant initial and ongoing expense in software, hardware and IT personnel
• time consuming to research, plan and coordinate with multiple software and hardware vendors
• in-house expertise required to implement, manage & update a compliant solution is challenging
• logistically difficult and intrusive to establish an internal data center
• potential loss of valuable electronic assets in the event of a disaster
• costly legal services related to ongoing provincial and federal compliance issues
• expensive mailbox licensing may be operationally difficult
• risk of email not being captured properly, or not stored securely with satisfactory encryption
• independent audits may be required to ensure security and compliance standards are met
• downtime risks if replacement hardware is required for defective components
• data loss & corruption may occur if relying on .pst files
• privacy issues arise if relying on .pst files as regulators would have access to all information in Outlook (e.g. contacts, calendar and lawyer-client privileged mail)

Conclusion

Global Relay eliminates the financial and operational risks of implementing a compliant electronic record keeping and supervision solution.
