Cloud Service Reduces Complexity and Cost; Improves Trading Efficiency

NORCROSS, Ga., Sept. 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EasyLink Services International Corporation ("EasyLink" or "Company") (Nasdaq:ESIC) (www.easylink.com), a global provider of comprehensive cloud-based messaging services and e-commerce solutions, today announced the expansion of its EDI Managed Services solution into the European region.

EasyLink's EDI Managed Services handles the entire end-to-end EDI function, including connectivity, mapping, translation, trading partner enablement, exception handling, 24×7 monitoring, help desk, and reporting. All services are hosted on the secure, scalable, fully-redundant EasyLink VAN and include local business hours support. EasyLink's
EDI Managed Services are a fit best suited for mid-market organizations that are faced with the high costs of hardware, software licensing fees, lack of in-house EDI expertise, and infrastructure support.

"Over the last several years, EDI integration and software purchases have left organizations with systems nearing end-of-life and a shrinking pool of technical resources to support them," explained Timothy Frischholz, EDI Product Manager, EasyLink Services. "Today, these organizations are faced with the decision of whether to upgrade their infrastructure or look for a more automated, cost effective alternative to enterprise commerce. Many of whom are opting to implement a managed services solution on our world-class network with dedicated support resources."

"Outsourcing the entire EDI function to EasyLink makes economical sense for companies who want to offload the ever-increasing expense of managing an internal EDI infrastructure," explained Clive Jefferies, Vice President of EMEA Sales, EasyLink Services. "EasyLink's EDI Managed Services enables companies to focus on other strategic, revenue-generating technology initiatives."
