Global Outlook, a white label hosted Microsoft Exchange and collaboration services provider with its data centres in Hyderabad and Dallas in the US, is targeting to achieve Rs 25 crore revenues from the Indian market by the end of this calendar year, according to its executive chairman Dayakar Puskoor.

The venture-backed company, which recently launched its Managed Business Mail through Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), has signed up 10 partners across India in the last seven months and currently has close to 3,000 enterprise users, he told mediapersons here on Wednesday.

“Our goal is to reach out to 50,000 enterprise users by this year end,” he said, adding that two other telecom operators in the country were running trials on its Managed Business Mail.

 

Puskoor said the three-year-old company would shortly be launching a unified communications solution, which integrates instant messaging, live meetings and Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) with email on any mobile. Launch of Microsoft’s hosted customer relationship management (CRM) product, targeted at sales and marketing professional, will follow suit, he said.

“The email market in India is expected to reach $125 million by 2012, growing at a compound growth rate of 24 per cent. There are 4.55 million broadband-connected small and medium business PCs, and 13 per cent of this is expected to be the hosted exchange opportunity,” he added.
