Application infrastruture software provider Abridean today announced that USA.net, a Colorado Springs, Colo.-based messaging service provider will use AbrideanProvisor to provision and manage its Microsoft Exchange 2000 offering.
The AbrideanProvisor platform is designed to help service providers automate and simplify the provisioning and management of hosted enterprise applications.
Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Abridean also announced the availability of its Messaging Portfolio, which is designed to provision messaging solutions. This portfolio will allow service providers and large enterprises to provide users with value-added services such as wireless access and instant messaging.

USA.net reports it will use AbrideanProvisor’s XML-based architecture and Provision Anything Framework to enhance its hosted Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
