For companies that need email, Internet access and a web presence, BusinessOne is the perfect scalable Internet access solution. By going in for the BusinessOne broadband service, companies no longer need to endure the inconvenience of juggling multiple dial-up connections. Sharing of a single mailbox will no longer be an issue as they can get multiple personalized email accounts for their company staff such as staffname@companyname.ae.

Moreover, they will also have the added advantage of getting their own domain name for their business with the website being hosted by eCompany. The ease of installation is also a key benefit enabling businesses to implement it very quickly without having to depend on any external IT resource.
