Regency Centers integrates and scales applications with Intermedia Private Cloud

Jacksonville, Fla. - Regency Centers, a national owner, operator and developer of 321 grocery-anchored retail centers, needed a secure, dedicated platform that would integrate Symantec LiveOffice, Cisco Unity Connection and eMailSignature with its email solution. The company selected Intermedia Private Cloud to integrate and scale its business applications, thus enabling growth.



Working closely alongside Intermedia's dedicated project team, Regency Centers was able to integrate Hosted Exchange with its existing business applications. This required agents to run on the Exchange server and a VPN tunnel connecting to the software applications running either in a third-party cloud or at Regency's data center.



The customization and integration of these services allows Regency employees to respond to customer inquiries and requests in a more timely and efficient manner, while increasing business productivity. The transition to private cloud also allowed the company to upgrade to Exchange 2010, giving employees access to the enhanced Outlook Web Access console, further helping to boost efficiency.



Provisioning Intermedia's Private Cloud was quick and seamless. The process took 30 days from start to finish, including platform configuration, testing and the two-day mailbox migration.



"In 2010 we moved from an internally hosted Exchange environment to Intermedia's Hosted Exchange,” said Dale Johnston, CIO at Regency Centers. “As our company grew, we needed a way to effortlessly integrate. We were reluctant to give up the reliability, support and ease of management we came to rely on with Intermedia's Hosted Exchange, Intermedia Private Cloud gave us the best of both worlds.”
