Budget airline EasyJet has achieved a 35% savings over three years by switching to a cloud-based software-as-a-service e-mail security system.
The move is part of the airline's strategy of outsourcing non-core activities, said Mark Beard, IT services manager at EasyJet.
This has enabled the 59-strong IT team that supports about 7,000 computer users to focus on delivering business value and differentiating services, he said.

As Google looks to assure potential business customers that its cloud-based suite of applications is a worthy alternative to on-premises solutions, it's getting help from independent service providers.
One example is Backupify, an online backup, archiving and export service that unveiled support for Google Apps this week.
Cambridge, MA-based Backupify said it automatically backs up all data stored in a user's Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Contacts and Google Sites account. Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) cloud-based system stores users files, but Backupify said its system ensures data won't be lost by error. Backupify actually leverages another cloud service, Amazon's storage cloud storage, to backup files.
