Email is essential to Orient Express Manufacturing (OEM). As an importer based in the U.S., OEM relies on email to keep in constant contact with their manufacturing facilities in the Orient. “It’s imperative that we keep every email we receive and send for our records”, says Denis Ross, President of OEM, “we’ve had a number of cases where finding an email from 5+ years ago saved us thousands of dollars”. Using Outlook for their email worked well for awhile, but after years of email, Outlook couldn’t handle the volume. Plus, backups, though imperative, were becoming an issue with the large amounts of data.

So, SlipFire moved OEM’s email to Google’s Gmail system. OEM’s employees now have the best of both worlds. They use the familiar Gmail interface, and get to use the OrientExpressMFG.com email address. Since Gmail was designed to handle large amounts of email, OEM’s email problems are gone. Additionally, the Gmail search feature allows them to find emails from 5 years ago in a matter of seconds, and it still works with their Blackberry’s. “SlipFire really came in and solved our email problems”, said Mr. Ross, “we never have to worry about our email system again”.
