[consulting] Current state of newsletter systems

[David Geilhufe]

CiviMail handles all these requirements.

With CivicSpace On Demand we are offering a fully integrated online 
fundraising, email marketing, website, and supporter database solution. 
You can be up and running with CiviMail in a couple minutes by filling 
out a webform.

Essentially we deliver pre-configured Drupal/CiviCRM over our hosting 
platform. This can offer a quick set up and deployment for customer 
sites that don't require extensive custom PHP and/or custom modules.
