VIMA’s Image Filtering is Standard Feature in IntelliReach’s High Performance Spam and Content Filtering Appliance

"It’s invaluable to have a partner like VIMA to work with us to continue to deliver the best solutions at the lowest total cost of ownership for our customers.”

Santa Barbara, CA - August 1st, 2004 - VIMA Technologies announced today that IntelliReach Corporation of Dedham, Massachusetts has begun shipping VIMA’s ImageBeagle for Filtering™ pornographic image blocking software as a standard feature in all of their high performance Spam and Content Filtering Appliances.

“IntelliReach has been very aggressive in delivering highly effective spam and content filtering solutions at a price that most companies can afford. They shared with us some of their plans for offering higher value at a lower price point and we agreed to work with them. Their new product delivers a lot in an easy to use package,” claims Whit Gaither, VIMA’s vice president of business development.

IntelliReach helps Exchange, GroupWise, and Notes managers tackle their biggest challenges: spam and virus filtering, secure email, email storage and archiving, email policy compliance, and integrated email system monitoring and reporting. VIMA’s objectionable image filtering software is known as one of the fastest and most accurate in the business and integrates seamlessly across platforms. The software quickly decodes almost any image file format, extracts visual information, and then scores the image according to the filter’s category settings. For IntelliReach, VIMA will be adjusting its web site filter to recognize the small, tiled email message images when they create a pornographic and otherwise objectionable image.

Derek Schoelte, IntelliReach’s vice president of business development observes, “Our relationship with VIMA over the last year has been rewarding for both of us. As our market develops and customer requirements grow, it’s invaluable to have a partner like VIMA to work with us to continue to deliver the best solutions at the lowest total cost of ownership for our customers.”

IntelliReach’s MessageScreen 4.3 with Linux support is immediately available. Pricing is based on the number of users with an average starting cot of $10 per user.
