Zix Corporation

Zix Corporation provides Internet-based applications in a Software-as-a-Service model to connect, protect, and deliver information, enabling the use of the Internet for applications requiring security in the healthcare, finance, insurance, and government sectors primarily in the United States. It operates in two segments, Email Encryption and e-Prescribing. The Email Encryption segment provides secure messaging services, which allow an enterprise to use policy-driven rules to determine which emails should be sent securely to comply with regulations or corporate policy. This segment also provides a solution that analyzes and encrypts email communications.

Its services provide users the ability to deliver encrypted email to any email user at any email address by using the ZixCorp Best Method of Delivery protocol that automatically determines the means of delivery, based on the sender’s and recipient’s communications environment and preferences. The e-Prescribing segment offers PocketScript, an electronic prescribing service that allows physicians to use a handheld device to prescribe drugs and transmit the prescription electronically to pharmacies. This segment distributes its e-Prescribing solution directly to physicians and healthcare institutions. Zix Corporation was formerly known as ZixIt Corporation and changed its name to Zix Corporation in 2002. Zix Corporation was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
