PinoyCentral.com, an online site managed by ABS-CBN Interactive Inc., has offered free Joydesk email to over 100,000 subscribers for the past year with great success. PinoyCentral will continue to provide free Joydesk email to their subscribers.

Were excited about this opportunity to offer our Filipino and South Asian community VirtualTeks comprehensive and scalable hosting solutions."

Joydesk Hosted Services is ideal for small to medium sized businesses, schools, non-profits, and small offices/home offices that require reliable business communication applications such as email with POP3, shared calendar, shared address book, task list and file sharing.

Hosted and maintained by VirtualTek, no hardware, software or IT personnel is required with all major product releases and technical support included in one low monthly cost.

"Joydesk has made a name for itself as a easy-to-use, secure, web-based office suite. With our hosted services, Pinoycentral customers and affiliates can deploy fully integrated workgroup collaboration applications that only used to be accessible and affordable to larger organizations," said Alex Choe, president of VirtualTek Corporation.
