Case study: Carter Synergy
Carter Synergy, one of the nation’s leading refrigeration specialists, employs over 450 staff in regional offices throughout the UK.
After using Sophos to protect its endpoint computers from viruses and other malware for a number of years, Carter Synergy was keen to evaluate the Sophos ES4000 Email Appliance (part of Email Security and Control), as a replacement for their failing legacy gateway product.
"You get what you pay for. The Sophos ES4000 may not be one of the cheapest appliances on the market but we feel it is certainly the best."

Business challenge
- Carter Synergy needed a UK-based hardware appliance offering full anti-virus and anti-spam protection.
- The appliance needed to back up the company’s call centre, so needed to be stable, reliable, cost-effective, easy to use and include 24-hour monitoring and support.
Technology solution
- A Sophos Email Appliance was installed because it protects the email gateway from spam, viruses, spyware, Trojans and offensive content in both inbound and outbound traffic.
Business results
- Spam and malware administration has been reduced to a minimum, complaints from end users and customers about email have ceased, and uptime has been restored to 100%.
