Proofpoint CEO Gary Steele Welcomes
Fortiva Customers and Partners

To our valued customers and partners,

I’m extremely excited to announce that, as of June 24, 2008, Proofpoint, Inc. a leading provider of email security and data loss prevention solutions, has acquired Fortiva, Inc. As a current Fortiva customer or partner, I wanted to personally introduce you to Proofpoint and assure you of our continuing commitment to the Fortiva product—and to delivering the outstanding levels of service and support that you have come to expect from the Fortiva team.

Proofpoint selected Fortiva to extend into email archiving because it has developed visionary technology for email archiving and delivered it as an on-demand solution that fits extremely well with Proofpoint’s existing product strategy and portfolio. There is a great deal of synergy between our two companies that includes compatible business models, customer-centric cultures and a focus on technology innovation.

Proofpoint is dedicated to a smooth integration, handled with the utmost care and focus on the satisfaction of Fortiva customers, partners and employees.

Our commitment to Fortiva’s customers and partners is to:

  • Deliver the same levels of service, support and product innovation that you currently enjoy and expect from Fortiva, without interruption.
  • Retain key Fortiva management and employees by forming a dedicated global business unit within Proofpoint, focused on delivering best-in-class, on demand archiving solutions.
  • Expand Fortiva’s existing product and datacenter footprint by making additional investments in both product development and datacenter infrastructure.
  • Grow the business with existing channel partners with a focused archiving team that will support global channel activity.
