Essential is building out its email and collaboration suite infrastructure to meet the needs of the scaling marketplace. 

Enterprise collaboration tools mean productivity for the workplace.  Essential's enterprise suite is based on a leading open source project, then customized, hosted, and supported for a variety of small, medium, and large size businesses.

Our focus has always been on process. While every business develops its own unique processes certain fundamental needs exist for all businesses, including the need for tools such as email, PBX phone systems, text messaging, and mobile services. Equally important are amenities such as personal and shared calendars, shared documents, instant messaging, and web integration.

The latest big development for Work Messages is the addition of our Tier 1 New York data center location.  Work Messages recently established a presence at Telx, a colocation company that uses "Meet me" rooms to connect customers with Tier 1 bandwidth providers.  Through the Telx meet me room we are connected directly by fiber opitic cable to Level 3, one of the most prestigious and powerful Intenet companies on the planet.  This is the closest we've ever been to the nerve center of the Internet, and we're glad to share the many advantages this brings with our customers.

A Work Messages on-line Content Management System (CMS) is now available to subscription customers.  As with other Work Messages products, the user interface is customized using customer logos, color schemes, and the selection of a style sheet template.
