Our Management

NorthSeas Advanced Messaging Technology, Inc. (NorthSeas) was established in 2003 to provide the global marketplace with simple and effective e-mail management solutions. NorthSeas (based in Ottawa, Canada’s high-tech capital) and its team of professionals share the company’s founding opinion that even the most difficult of information technology challenges can be resolved effectively with relatively simple solutions.

Our Expertise

NorthSeas brings to the e-mail management industry years of expertise in messaging and archival storage in industries that demand quality and efficiency such as telecommunications, financial services, government, and civil aviation. NorthSeas is closely affiliated with a sister company called Ubitech Systems Inc, a twenty-five year old global leader in advanced message switching systems for civil aviation authorities around the world.

As the most critical of business-critical applications, businesses large and small now rely heavily on corporate messaging systems for communicating with customers and business partners.  E-mail storage is one of the biggest challenges currently facing those responsible for keeping corporate messaging systems operational.  Our combined expertise in messaging and storage helps businesses avoid having its messaging system encumbered by excessive storage, unwanted messages, or lack of flexibility.  NorthSeas provides better e-mail storage solutions  that are simple and effective.

Our Philosophy

NorthSeas believes that e-mail archiving has evolved, and will continue to flourish, largely because the message stores in commercial e-mail applications do not scale sufficiently well enough to handle today’s heavy e-mail use and the need for longer retention. Our philosophy that “Businesses want better e-mail storage rather than e-mail archiving” reflects customer feedback that an alternative to the current server-based message store model is needed.

Classic e-mail archiving solutions help minimize storage on the mail server but do little to relieve the user of the growing burden of managing their excessive volume of messages and mail-folders. In our opinion, Google has changed the way that users now access information. Google has convinced users that a search and retrieval model of information access is more convenient and faster.  In a 2002 article written by Jon Udell called “Googling Your Email”, Udell described the need for better e-mail management where users search and find e-mail messages in the same way they find web sites using the Google search tools.  The NorthSeas Search and Replay™ application, on its e-mail archiving appliances, provides precisely this capability.

NorthSeas technology has been developed with a philosophy that effective technology solutions like e-mail archiving need not be difficult, expensive or high maintenance. NorthSeas appliance solutions are vendor independent, easy to maintain, and do not require any third-party software, application integration or user training.

NorthSeas is a proponent of the Open Message Store, a new concept that is rapidly gaining attention amongst administrators of messaging systems.  An Open Message Store provides the business with a choice of technology it wishes to deploy as its primary message store. In today’s Message Stores, messages are usually stored in a proprietary database so they are not easily accessible by other applications. Adding more storage to the messaging system can be very expensive and often requires that customer to add more mail-servers just to gain more e-mail storage. Although Open Message Stores do not currently exist as plug-and-play solutions, companies like NorthSeas are enthusiastically standing behind the concept and working toward its eventual realization.
