Direct Marketing Excellence announces new web hosting platform

June 4, 2004

Direct Marketing Excellence dba DMX Direct, Inc. “DMX” has contracted with ViaWest Internet Services for the provision of DMX Direct’s Internet hosting services. Under the terms of the agreement DMX will migrate many of its web servers to a centralized platform.

This strategy of consolidation will provide DMX clients with an even higher degree of reliability and scalability. The ViaWest data center will provide DMX with around the clock monitoring in their highly stable infrastructure. Additionally, ViaWest will provide enhanced security for DMX managed domains with 24/7 alerts to the DMX IT staff at the first sign of a problem enabling fast resolution, and therefore greater uptime.

The migration includes client Internet applications developed by DMX such as e-commerce web sites, Opt-In e-mail systems that manage the electronic distribution of customer communications and DMX’s proxy-email.com which distributes broadcast e-mail for mutual fund shareholder compliance and marketing communications in addition to other commercial marketing applications. DMX’s client portal ClickQuery™ will be included in the move. This ClickQuery™ portal provides DMX clients with online access and control of outsourced back office operations as literature fulfillment, product fulfillment, statement processing and financial printing. ClickQuery™ also provides mission critical information such as sales channel results and ROI.

“Direct Marketing Excellence is committed to providing its customers the highest levels of service in support of our customers’ Internet initiatives” said Jim Kennel, president of DMX “and we believe this migration to ViaWest supports that goal.”
