Email security innovator Spam Soap has launched its “Pay to Move” promotional offering. The campaign is aimed at VARs affected by the shutdown of Google Postini Email Security Service. Just move any Postini account over to Spam Soap, the promotion says, and Spam Soap will “Pay to Move” by giving VARs three months free on that particular account.
“Spam Soap will pay you to make a fresh clean start,” says Spam Soap channel chief Leonard Dimiceli. “The Spam Soap Clean team is ready to assist any Postini reseller who has the task of migrating a number of accounts. Let us do the dirty work, and you’ll get paid to do it.”
According to Google, which acquired Postini in 2007, the phase out of the long-standing Postini security platform will begin December 2012. Google Postini partners have been tasked with migrating existing customers to the Google Apps interface, which also houses Gmail, Calendar, and Vault.
Administrators are directed to make mandatory changes to DNS, reset security controls, and must advise users of the differences. As part of its “Pay to Move” offer, Spam Soap’s dedicated “Clean Team” will work with partners to take immediate action to transition Postini domains and protect the SMB email environment within a few hours.
