Email is King of Communication

Email has grown quickly into the most important business tool in use today. Files, data, documents, contacts, calendars and more are also being actively stored and accessed within email clients. While convenience and ease of use have increased, so too have security and connectivity issues. And there is increasing demand for more connectivity to a myriad of new mobile protocols, plus added capacity, speed, uptime, security, and secure storage. To meet the increasing messaging demands of business, your email provider needs to be completely dedicated to anticipating — and exceeding — expectations. Vision Quest is a leader of email hosting due to our functionality, innovation, security, and customer-centric approach.

Support

There is a world of difference between having access to a help desk operator and having access to people who can actually fix your problem right then and there. We provide knowledgeable and dedicated support personnel. Professional personnel who know the systems, know the issues, and most important - know the answers.

In-house Email Systems are not Always Less Expensive

Labor makes up approximately two-thirds of SMB messaging costs and those IT personnel dedicated to messaging infrastructure represent lost productivity in other IT areas. There are also upgrades to both hardware and software, training, and maintenance. In fact, the real costs of in-house messaging are significantly higher for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) than for enterprises — and typically run significantly higher than an outsourced solution. Beyond that, utilizing a business email hosting provider like Vision Quest yields actual cost advantages and no capital expenditures. Vision Quest provides predictable monthly costs and our customers enjoy the benefits of upgrading.

Your Data is Safe

While larger companies with robust, well financed IT departments often boast comprehensive in-house email security, the same is seldom true for smaller organizations. They may be good at some of these security elements, but smaller organizations rarely have the time, money or resources to excel at all of them. To achieve the higher levels of security needed for today's Internet, small and medium sized businesses, and even enterprises, are migrating toward hosted email providers.

To provide the end-to-end security required by today's growing businesses against spam, viruses and phishing, Vision Quest utilizes multiple, overlapping layers of security. With Vision Quest you leverage state-of-the-art technology ensuring top-quality security no matter your size.

Spam and Virus Protection Included

Millions of hackers, spammers, and phishers are constantly refining their attacks — your service provider needs to demonstrate that same dedication to protection. Vision Quest is constantly updating and refining our software, reviewing and improving our architecture and gateway servers, and performing daily maintenance and upgrades at all levels.
