Must be a major Canadian company!!:~)) >>Zix Corporation Expands Into Canada New Canadian Office and Partner Serve Growing Global Demand for Secure E-Messaging Tuesday October 8, 8:55 am ET DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2002--Zix Corporation (ZixCorp(TM)), (Nasdaq:ZIXI - News), a global provider of secure e-messaging products, today announced the opening of its new sales operation in Ottawa, Canada, to serve the growing number of organizations that recognize the need for email security to meet corporate and legal standards protecting the privacy of confidential and proprietary information. In a related move, ZixCorp announced a new strategic partnership in the area with Verve Technology Corp. (Verve), which will offer the full suite of ZixCorp security solutions to its Canadian business customers. The new ZixCorp Canadian operation is headed by Wael Mohamed, vice president, global distribution, who sees the company's expansion to Canada as key to serving the broader North American market. Expansion into the Canadian market strengthens ZixCorp's global presence and is part of the company's long-term strategy to meet growing global demand for secure e-messaging through partnerships. ZixCorp has already established strategic partnerships in Japan, where it has partnered with AlphaOmega Soft Co., Ltd., and in Korea, with partner Digitopia. "This partnership with ZixCorp is a major step forward for Verve in building our national security and information technology practice," said Rick Robertson, CEO of Verve. "By working with powerful alliance partners such as ZixCorp, Verve is empowering our clients with the tools to maximize their own profitability, to increase their security and compliance requirements and to fully leverage the many benefits the ZixCorp solution provides." Federal and provincial privacy laws in Canada protect the dissemination of citizens' personal information. Canada's Privacy Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), have been enacted to ensure privacy, including privacy for information transmitted electronically. The Privacy Act obliges federal government departments and agencies to protect citizens' personal information, while PIPEDA imposes similar obligations on the private sector, specifically laying out ground rules for how companies can collect, use or disclose personal information. At a provincial level, FIPPA requires governments to protect the privacy of personal information contained in government records. ZixCorp's full range of e-messaging solutions can help companies comply with these acts on an ongoing basis. "Helping businesses comply with the Privacy Act, PIPEDA, FIPPA and other Canadian regulations is only one of the reasons why we want a presence in Canada," Mohamed said. "Canadians are concerned about privacy as a matter of good corporate practice and realize that protecting their email is essential in today's marketplace. We are very excited about our new relationship with Verve to help serve this market." ZixCorp helps organizations gain the trust of their own customers and partners by ensuring that their communications are secure. Based on its SECURE(TM) solutions methodology, ZixCorp guides customers through each phase of the process for solving their secure e-messaging challenges. "It is widely recognized and openly acknowledged that email is a security concern for many organizations," said Jeff Moffatt, president of Verve. "The challenge has been to implement secure messaging solutions that are within tight IT budgets, can demonstrate Return on Investment (ROI), provide a high level of security and integrity, and are simple to maintain. ZixCorp's service addresses these requirements and is proving to be the most compelling solution for our clients' secure e-messaging needs."
