EasyLink Services International Expands Its Integrated Desktop Messaging into Australia and Malaysia
Norcross, GA — October 31, 2007---EasyLink Services International Corporation (NasdaqCM: ESIC), a leading provider of document and data exchange services, today announced the expansion of its Integrated Desktop Messaging Service into Australia and Malaysia. This expansion is part of EasyLink’s plan to increase its global coverage to meet the requirements of its multinational enterprise customers as well as expand its market penetration internationally and capitalize on the rapid growth within Asia Pacific.
EasyLink’s Integrated Desktop Messaging Service is an outsourced Fax-to-E-mail Service that allows customers to receive faxes as an attachment to an e-mail message. With the expanded coverage, customers in Australia and Malaysia will now be able to send and receive faxes directly from desktops via local numbers in those countries. Those customers will immediately gain the benefit of the service without significant start-up costs associated with additional hardware, software and telephone lines.
"EasyLink has made it a priority to provide consistent service throughout the global economy to customers who demand high levels of reliability, availability, security and cost-efficiency,” said John Mecke, EasyLink’s vice president of global product management. “This expansion into Australia and Malaysia demonstrates our continued commitment to support multinational companies in areas where they conduct business and extend our reach and access into additional markets throughout the world.”
Mr. Mecke also noted that EasyLink’s Integrated Desktop Messaging Service presents an opportunity for revenue growth and industry leadership with EasyLink continued execution of its long-term strategy, quality of service and global expansion. Specific emphasis is being placed on Asia Pacific where the growth rate is almost twice that of the United States and Europe. EasyLink’s next expansion will be to provide local number support within China.
Today EasyLink offers local number and international toll free support in twenty-seven countries, including Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States.
