Excedent Technologies Announces Name Change to Webmail.us, Inc.

New Name Better Reflects Firm’s Focus on Webmail and On-Demand Email Hosting

Blacksburg, VA (PRWEB) February 22, 2005

Excedent Technologies, the premier provider of on-demand email hosting backed by its industry leading customer service and support, today announced that the company is changing its name to Webmail.us, Inc. Already used by its retail subsidiary, Excedent will now use the name for all of its operations – including its fast-growing private-label reseller division. The new name more clearly reflects the firm’s focus and will aid its branding efforts.

“The name ‘Webmail.us’ is a much better indicator of what we do. We felt the need to have a reference to our services in our name. Webmail is an area where we’re focusing a great deal of our R&D,” said Patrick Matthews, chief executive officer at Webmail.us. “We believe that having our name reflect our corporate strategy will deliver a competitive advantage over time.”

More than 5,000 businesses leverage Webmail.us on-demand email hosting services for secure, reliable, spam-free, virus-free email. The company, along with its growing list of private-label reseller partners, provides email hosting solutions to small and geographically dispersed enterprises. The company works with service providers to deploy its hosted email system across various industry segments including automotive retailers, franchises, direct sellers, financial service companies and real estate agencies, among others.

The Webmail.us hosted email platform provides businesses with a powerful alternative to enterprise email software packages, in addition to integrated security and anti-spam protection – all for a fraction of the cost of purchasing and managing the solution in-house. The email-hosting platform is housed in carrier-grade data centers, to ensure maximum uptime. Webmail.us also goes to great lengths to ensure its customers’ privacy – promising not to sell customer data or advertise to them – key reasons for being awarded the TRUSTe privacy seal.
