Small and Mid-Sized Businesses are Saving Tens of Thousands of Dollars By Replacing In-House E-mail Servers and Switching to BlueTie's Hosted Services
ROCHESTER, N.Y., September 24, 2007 — BlueTie, Inc. (www.bluetie.com), the first company to offer hosted e-mail and calendaring integrated with the Web's most useful services, today announced that more than 150,000 small and medium-sized businesses have standardized on BlueTie's latest e-mail and collaboration service since its introduction late last year.
An average of 1,200 businesses migrate to BlueTie's e-mail application each day – an adoption rate 20 percent faster than reported rates from Google Apps. This rapid growth validates the company's unique approach of using Featuretisements™ to generate revenue by integrating value-added services into the e-mail and calendar application.

Businesses are increasingly shifting to Web-based services like BlueTie that are inexpensive and easy-to-use," said David Koretz, president and CEO of BlueTie. "Through BlueTie, small businesses get business-class e-mail and calendaring combined with Web-based services that simplify business and personal tasks."
