IMP Packages

IMP Packages take the work out of managing a large E-mail platform. Built as a turnkey solution with individual configurations adapted to customer-specific requirements, the IMP Packages consist of the IMP Base Platform with Bizanga toolkits, service packs and best-of-breed applications as required. Bizanga pre-configures the system and updates the configuration frequently to make sure it meets and exceeds performance expectations. Through this, the IMP Packages provide the best of both worlds: Easy management without complex configuration and access to unparalleled drill-down information and configuration.

The IMP Packages deliver specified performance out-of-the-box, requiring little to no overhead on deployment or maintenance beyond monitoring. The following are the currently available IMP Packages:

IMP-L Package: Guaranteed filtering of over 75% of all Spam
IMP-M Package: Guaranteed filtering of over 85% of all Spam
IMP-H Package: Guaranteed filtering of over 95% of all Spam

If requested, Bizanga can guarantee filtering performance on aforementioned packages with a Filtering Performance SLA with attached penalties. As part of the IMP Packages, customers are assigned Bizanga engineers to support them in operations and ensure the IMP systems deployed at the customer site function properly.
