HyperOffice Brings Enterprise Collaboration and Communication Solutions To Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) Businesses For A Fraction Of The Cost

Intranet Starter Pack gives SOHOs and start-ups a hosted intranet complete with business-class email, shared calendars, document management, task manager, and global address books for only $14.95 per month.

VIENNA, Va., March 22, 2005 - HyperOffice (www.HyperOffice.com), a leading hosted intranet provider, announced today the availability of its Starter Pack plan, giving SOHO businesses access to an affordable custom intranet software solution. This simple, secure and affordable suite of intranet applications gives small businesses essential tools to collaborate, communicate, and manage information from any Internet connection.

According to Helen Chan, Senior analyst at Yankee Group, 'HyperOffice is easy to use and delivers to SMBs (small and mid-sized businesses) the rich functionality of a much more expensive solution at an affordable price. Small businesses now have the option of adopting a online collaboration solution without needing to pay an expensive upfront licensing fee or manage the application.'

HyperOffice serves as an outsourced IT department to provide a secure and reliable company intranet for employees and partners without any upfront IT investment or anxieties over data loss and system down time. Innovative businesses are using HyperOffice to connect people, teams and information across business processes to improve productivity and lower operational costs.

'My partner and I knew we needed a secure and easily accessible mechanism for storing and sharing documents belonging to clients and corporates as well as large graphic files to support our operations,' said Tiffany Brooks, President of Aquafire Creative, LLC. 'As a SOHO search engine optimization and web design company, with consultants and customers around the country, all team members need access to critical documents, shared project calendars, contacts, and task lists. HyperOffice's hosted intranet gave us a suite of robust features for only $14.95 per month. Now we can keep operational costs at a minimum and eliminate the need for expensive server purchases or maintenance.'

Small businesses can now revolutionize the workplace by offering employees, partners and customers access to simple and secure spam-free business-class email, and collaborative tools such as shared calendars, shared document management system, shared contacts, shared project management, opinion polls and more. All stored documents and other data are backed up in real-time, so there's no need to worry about losing critical information or system down time. With HyperOffice, there are no server purchases or maintenance required. No software installations or upgrades are required. HyperOffice's secure offsite facilities, redundant servers, real-time back-ups, 99.9% system uptime, spam, and virus protection, and free upgrades offer world-class reliability and security. New customers can try HyperOffice free and without any obligations for 30 days by signing up at www.hyperoffice.com.

'After working with new prospects and considering our small-to medium- sized business market, we saw the need for a Starter Pack for the average 2-user SOHO operation,' said Laura Kisailus, Director of Marketing, HyperOffice. 'No matter the size, businesses all strive for a professional image, and using ISP or free email accounts just doesn't provide the branding that HyperOffice can with custom email addresses, professionally branded portal pages, and access to cutting-edge collaboration tools.'
