MWeb’s Safe Shop 3 gives Namibian companies excellent e-commerce capabilities, particularly in the lucrative South African market.

The Business Server is a 'plug-and-play’ application that requires no licensing fees commonly associated with commercial software. The server on the premises of the company is designed to be easy enough for the use of a manager with little or no IT experience. In addition to the very economical monthly cost of the server, it provides managed e-mail and browsing for all employees, firewall protection, the most recent anti-virus protection and spam filtering. MWeb Namibia's Business Server targets companies with up to 45 employees. The potential impacts of the products are complete, cost-effective internal control of Internet usage and major revenues streams, respectively.
