ZEROSPAM provides a temporary filtering service to the Quebec Chamber of Commerce

07 August 2006

Because they were concerned about the amount of spam likely to flood employees' inboxes during the summer vacation period, the Quebec Chamber of Commerce called ZEROSPAM at the beginning of the summer in 2006. To meet this customer's specific needs, ZEROSPAM offered a special three-month agreement.

Canada Economic Development's Inter-chamber Committee acted as a facilitator for this project. After meeting the ZEROSPAM team at the Salon des TIC pour les marchés publics [government procurement ICT fair] in Quebec City, the Inter-chamber Committee put ZEROSPAM's technology to the test. E-business development consultant Luc Archambault then recommended the ZEROSPAM solution to the Quebec Chamber of Commerce to prevent spam from flooding inboxes over the summer period.

Once the service was activated, it had an immediate impact. The next day, everyone was talking about it, explained Pascale Navannec, e-business development consultant on the Inter-chamber Committee. People thought nobody was writing them because they received so few emails. Our colleagues are delighted.

The temporary arrangement allowed email users at the Quebec Chamber of Commerce to focus on their work. This arrangement became long-term in the fall, and the Chamber has been a ZEROSPAM subscriber ever since.
