    As a 5-year Postini Partner, we were happy that Postini selected our company to continue our direct relationship and proud to be a Postini Partner. We see continued growth through 2008 at the same pace we have seen since the middle of 2005, 2006 and 2007.

    I have great respect for MxToolBox for sticking with their business plan with their Partner providers. MxToolBox has proven that you can build a successful business wrapped around the best of breed of services, without sacrificing reliability and your own identity.

    In fact, MxToolBox has been on our short list of adding additional partners to our own mix of services. After seeing this article, I feel MxToolBox would be a great fit for our company.
