Happy Birthday SoftCom Technology Consulting Inc.

January 2007 marks the tenth anniversary of SoftCom.

The world has changed a great deal since we started. The Dot-com bubble saw the founding (and in many cases, dramatic failure) of numerous new Internet-based companies. The political and economic situation has been marked by increased globalization and the aftermath of the events of September 11th 2001.

Looking back to 1997 according to wikipedia.org:

  • Bill Clinton was starting his second term as US President.
  • The Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl XXXI defeating the New England Patriots, 35-21.
  • Tony Blair becomes Prime Minister of the United Kingdom ending 18 years of conservative rule.
  • The first book in the award winning Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling is published.
  • On January 12, the computer HAL 9000 comes online (in 2001: A Space Odyssey)
  • Microsoft buys a $150 million shares of financially troubled Apple Computer.
  • The domain Google.com was registered

SoftCom has also seen some changes over the years.

  • In May 1997 mail2web.com was launched.
  • In June of the same year we offered Microsoft Windows web hosting services.
  • In 2001 we added support for 16 international languages to mail2web.com.
  • 2002 saw myhosting.com become the world’s largest Microsoft exclusive hosting company.
  • Later that same year mail2web.com got involved in car racing sponsorship with the Porsche Team at the Le Mans 24 and as the title sponsor of the Mosport – mail2web.com Grand Prix.
  • In 2003 we took two large steps forward by upgrading to Microsoft Server 2003 and moving to a telco-grade Data Center.
  • The following Year we introduced a unique web hosting package; a blended Windows and Linux offering.
  • 2005 was the year of communication and collaboration, seeing the launch of both Exchange email and SharePoint hosted services under mail2web.com.
  • Early in 2006 we took web based email to the next level when we launched mail2web.com LIVE. A free email service based on Microsoft Exchange.

Today SoftCom provides valuable, efficient and cost-effective Internet based services to more than 16 million customers with support of 26 languages in 220 countries worldwide.

I can’t wait to see where we will take things in the next ten years!

    Happy Birthday!
    Thank you for providing such a valuable service as mail2web! Though I love my dialup service, mail2web is actuually easier to use than my provider’s webmail provision. Someday, when I can get broadband or other 21st century technology in my neighborhood, I plan to check out your commercial offerings.

    Well, 10 years? Impressive!

    I’m using your services for an easy way to access multiple accounts from one location, and I have to say it’s a lifesaver sometimes, as this way of accessing does all the nitty-gritty in the back end and leaves you with a nice, tidy interface.

    Here’s to another 10 or more years!

  39. Jean Luc January 29th, 2007 1:38 pm

    I was in California on vacation and had thought about bringing along my new laptop. I decided to leave it home on the East Coast. My friends and I had gone to the mall one day. I had just heard of MAIL2WEB so I wanted to check it out. We went to a computer kiosk and I was able to check my emails.

    Thank you. I always use MAIL2WEB and I have told my friends about it!

    May many more birthdays come your way.

  83. Home Loan Guy April 2nd, 2007 12:19 am

    Wow. I have been using mail2web since 1999 and always wondered how you guys could provide the service for free so reliably.. and then the car sponsorships. I always envied you. I never knew you had 16 MILLION customers!

    As a real estate broker in over 6 states since then, i continue to use mail2web no matter what the systems guy tells me to use. It’s always different, always a hassle, and mail2web always “simply works”. Whenmy job give sme a laptop I don’t even bother with the installed applications… in the mortgage business I’ll probably be in a new job before tech support answers my support tickets anyway. Mail2web rocks! Happy Birthday!

    Hi,
    Wish the team members of mail2web.com a very happy b’day. Though i’m using this service for just a year or so, i found out it very helpful when i’m checking my emails away from my office.
    wish you all the best for a bright future.

    Thank you for a service which is useful and does what it says it will do. In a world of pervasive low moral values it is refreshing to find a group with apparent simple honesty. Keep it up!
