I used to spend the first 5 to 10 minutes of my morning sorting through unwanted email.  I used a variety of workstation based tools to help the process along, but the problem still remained.  Since AppRiver was implemented, I have yet to receive an unwanted email message in my inbox. -West Michigan User

What it is:
AppRiver is a spam elimination service that goes to work immediately by filtering spam on their servers before it ever reaches yours.. Rather than having individual customers be responsible for maintaining their own white/black lists, AppRiver does this for them; effectively eliminating 90% or more of unwanted spam.

What it is not:
AppRiver is not a program that resides on your server or PC's. AppRiver is not an anti-virus service, however, if it detects a virus in an e-mail, AppRiver will flag that message and not deliver it. AppRiver does not provide an avenue for users to obtain their mail when outside the office. AppRiver is not an exchange server substitute, but does have reliable backup features that will help those of our customers that do have exchange.

What it does:
AppRiver’s service serves as a physical buffer between the spammer and your e-mail program. All mail is routed through AppRiver’s servers before it gets to your servers. This is true whether your company hosts its own mail with exchange or Lotus, whether your company is hosted through CCS Technologies or not, but you must own your own domain.

Why should your business try it:
Because it works! And because you can try it for 30 days without obligation! Give CCS Technologies a call at 616-997-8808 and we'll show you how AppRiver can work for you.

A receptionist sits at her desk at the start of the business day and spends her first 15 minutes sifting through and deleting advertisements for drugs from her inbox. Meanwhile in a church across town, an intern is bombarded with vulgar and salacious mail. At the same time, a manager in a different city has just realized that he must reprogram all of his anti-spam programs network-wide after changing products.

What do all of these scenarios have in common? They are all problems that are eliminated when you switch to our AppRiver Anti-Spam service! Listen to what our customers are saying!

"I would just like to say "Thank you" for a service that allows me to sleep better at night."

"I not only save 10 - 15 minutes per day, but I also cut the number of daily spam emails from 150 to 2 or 3!"

"Moving away from our internal spam server to the AppRiver service was the best decision we could have made. It has increased our spam capture rate from around 60% to upwards of 100%, and reduced the time we spend reviewing quarantined mail from about an hour each day to around 5 minutes each day. All of this for about a third the cost."

Affordable and Effective

CCS offers this product to our clients for $3 per PC per month or $36 per PC per year, just like a normal subscription fee. In most cases, you will begin to notice value within the first year! In addition to the subscription fee, we estimate at least 2 hours of service time at $95/hr to install and configure the service as well as to train your staff on how to use it. Be warned: it's easier to use than you think!
