PR Newswire (US)
DALLAS, March 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zix Corporation
(ZixCorp(R)), , the only email encryption service designed with
your most important relationships in mind, has renewed and expanded
its contract with Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, a
leading North Carolina health system. This latest agreement is a
42-month extension of Wake Forest Baptist's original agreement.
ZixCorp and Wake Forest's successful relationship will have spanned
nine successful years upon completion of this latest extension. An
institution with the sophistication and reputation of Wake Forest
Baptist demands reliability and stability from its communication
platform. ZixCorp's Email Encryption Service safeguards the email
transmission of sensitive Protected Health Information, which is a
daily occurrence within an organization the size of Wake Forest
University Baptist Medical Center. Wake Forest Baptist management
required a solution that was simple to administer and simple to
deploy, yet of equal importance was transparency of the end-user
experience for its entire community. Wake Forest Baptist did not
want to burden its users and employees with additional security
hurdles. The only way to accomplish this goal was to turn to
ZixCorp. ZixCorp operates the ZixDirectory(TM), the largest
community of encrypted email users in existence. Growing to more
than 20 million members, the ZixDirectory contains some of the
largest names in health care and already contains more than 450 of
Wake Forest Baptist's business partners. The result is secure
communication that's automatic and transparent for both senders and
recipients. ZixCorp is the only email encryption vendor to deliver
a highly-scalable email encryption service that embeds security in
the infrastructure while remaining transparent and easy to use for
individuals. "ZixCorp delivers next generation email encryption
that focuses on the recipient experience; we understand the need
for embedded security that's transparent to the user," said Rick
Spurr, Chief Executive Officer for ZixCorp. "The Wake Forest
Baptist experience is a great example of the power of the
ZixDirectory. The 450 Wake Forest business partners that are
already part of our ZixDirectory enjoy secure email communication
that doesn't interrupt their daily routine." "Wake Forest
University Baptist Medical Center has trusted the reliability of
the ZixCorp service for years; we know they're the proven choice
for email encryption," said Sheila M. Sanders, Vice President for
Information Services and Chief Information Officer at Wake Forest
Baptist. "We were also impressed with ZixCorp's directory of users
that included hundreds of our business partners. We simply don't
have the time or resources to establish dedicated connections with
every one of our business partners." About Wake Forest University
