Mi8 Offers Free Business-Class Email Service for Companies Preparing for Hurricane Rita
NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 21, 2005 -- Mi8 Corporation today announced a special offer for companies in the path of Hurricane Rita, which is currently projected to make landfall along the Gulf coast of Texas on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. Mi8 offers 30 days of free business-class email service, with no long-term commitment. This service offers email, contact management, a storage system for documents and other electronic materials, and much more.
"As companies close down and evacuate their personnel, they may be leaving behind their communications infrastructure, which is in danger of being severely damaged or destroyed by the storm," said Patrick Fetterman, president of Mi8. "We hope that this offer can assist companies that do not have complete disaster recovery facilities for their computing systems. At the very least, they should be able to stay in touch with their co-workers and their customers, to help coordinate their recovery efforts and smooth the transition to post-hurricane operations."
Mi8 recently offered free service to companies affected by Hurricane Katrina and to nonprofit and government organizations involved in the relief efforts, an offer accepted by a growing number of organizations.
To take advantage of these offers, please contact the company at relief@mi8.com, or at 1-800-965-4648, option 3. Note that limitations do apply; contact Mi8 for details.
