The Irish Life & Permanent group was formed in 1999 and is a leading provider of personal financial services in the Irish market with over 1 million customers and more than 5,000 staff. With the ever-increasing volumes of email, Irish Life & Permanent identified the need to more closely integrate its policy filter, spam and anti-virus scanner to provide an acceptable email service to the organization. After an extensive evaluation of available solutions and a competitive pitch, Irish Life & Permanent decided to implement Axway’s award-winning Email Firewall with Dynamic Antispam Service to shield its network. Since implementing MailGate, Irish Life & Permanent has seen a significant increase in employee productivity, with immediate delivery of email, reduction of spam and an enhanced defense mechanism against the ever-present virus threat.
