Applicable Industries	Oil & Gas Professional Service
Applicable Functions	Business Operation
Services	System Integration Training
Challenge	The expansion of Supreme Services resulted in more emails overflowing the staff’s inboxes. Emails came in so rapidly that employees were unable to recognize the difference between a customer or spam message. This resulted in employees avoiding checking their email altogether because a majority of their time was wasted sorting through spam. Guidry suggested an email security gateway be put in place and recommended Barracuda Networks since he had used it at his previous company, where upper-level management held Barracuda Networks in high regard. Now in a management role at Supreme Services, Guidry knew Barracuda Networks would be a reliable and cost-effective choice, as well as simple to implement within his network. Read More

Solution	Within the first week of the installation, the Barracuda Email Security Gateway blocked 100,000 spam messages. Employees were perplexed as to why their email was no longer overloaded with spam, asking Guidry if the server was down or broken. Guidry explained, “It only took a week to show how drastic a change the Email Security Gateway made for us. Our workplace productivity increased by twofold and people finally began to depend on our network again!” From a management perspective, Guidry was impressed with the Barracuda Email Security Gateway’s simple deployment and easy-to-navigate interface.
