Most organizations know that the trend is to take email to the cloud. However, evaluating whether it makes sense for your organization is often a daunting task, full of mixed messages and unknowns. The market still lacks a clearly defined outline for evaluating such a mission-critical decision; the goal of this white paper is to address the most common myths and realities of cloud-based email.
During the adoption of in-house email infrastructure, most companies and their IT departments are under the impression that this investment is just like any other capital expenditure, that depreciates over five to ten years. They did not consider that an email system has growing management requirements and new email technology releases come out before full depreciation of past investments. Also, many organizations have become dependent on email as their main form of business communication, causing storage needs to exponentially surpass all initial projections.
Because of this, combined with the increasing complexity of compliance regulations over electronic communications and the rise of email security vulnerabilities and attacks, many companies find themselves in a predicament over how best to meet their email needs. Compounding the issue, security threats have grown to become increasingly sophisticated, requiring the most specialized skills to protect and secure the sensitive information assets that flow through corporate email.
Working with an experienced cloud-based email provider removes the liabilities of constantly staffing and training IT departments to have the skills to manage and secure corporate email, a system that is costly and cuts away at the bottom line.
