Solution: The Container Store makes it easier for people to get and stay organized. This leading retailer of storage and organization products was founded in 1978, and currently has dozens of locations throughout the United States. Carrying thousands of innovative products, The Container Store offers its customers countless ways to save space and time.

Like most companies that rely on the Internet to help conduct operations, The Container Store wanted to find a way to minimize and block spam. Management worried that employee productivity and network resources could be affected if this issue wasn’t properly addressed. Viruses and other computer attacks were also a concern. The retailer's IT department was asked to find a solution that would minimize the impact of these attacks.

After evaluating several products and consulting with Messaging Solutions, a Marshal8e6 partner, the company decided to deploy MailMarshal SMTP. This product was chosen because of its advanced features, its low number of false positives, its flexible deployment options, and the excellent support offered by Marshal8e6.

Choosing MailMarshal SMTP has already yielded positive results for the company. Using the advanced e-mail filtering program, The Container Store has been able to block more than 4,000 spam messages each day. Unsolicited e-mail messages are not only annoying, but also cost companies money because they lower employee productivity. By blocking these messages and avoiding productivity losses, The Container Store estimates it is saving almost $40,000 each month. Blocking extra data in the form of spam has also allowed the company to conserve network bandwidth.

Since MailMarshal SMTP can be centrally managed, any required changes can be applied quickly. Finally, customized spam and virus management rules can be applied to the entire organization, departments within the company, and individual users, a feature which has made applying rules quicker and easier, freeing up valuable time for The Container Store's IT specialists.
