What is the email2 value proposition?

January 23, 2006  |   FAQ   |     |   0 Comment

Email today is plagued by a combination of security flaws, functionality limitations, spam, viruses, and reliability issues. The costly nature of these problems makes a novel solution necessary, but the widespread reliance on traditional email makes this goal challenging. A solution should work in tandem with existing email structures, strengthening the weak points and adding features where they are needed. An email upgrade should also be sufficiently easy to use in order to obtain widespread market penetration. email2 meets and exceeds these two requirements.

Not just a simple encryption technology, the Secure Messaging Platform distinguishes itself from PKI encryption approaches to email security. It is a complete secure messaging solution, dealing with security alongside issues such as usability and feature arrays. In addition to being a different approach to the problems of email, it is a better approach to the problems of ‘email’. The Secure Messaging Platform is the fastest and easiest to use secure messaging solution available today.

The Secure Messaging Platform is inexpensive to implement, and easy to integrate with existing email technologies and upgrades. It provides an immediate ROI – any cost associated by setting up the system is immediately recouped in productivity gains, spam reduction and virus protection.

A major benefit is that it is fully brandable and entirely extensible. Everything from the Secure MS Outlook Toolbar to the Secure Message Center (Webmail) can be completely branded with a company logo, colour scheme and corporate identity. It provides a true secure messaging solution that will be aesthetically coherent with your company’s corporate identity.

The extensibility of the Secure Messaging Platform means that when new features become available, either developed by third parties or email2 itself, they can be integrated into existing systems seamlessly and easily. The suite of email2 APIs allows developers to create new modules for use with the system, which can be created exclusively for specific verticals.

Most importantly, the Secure Messaging Platform works in conjunction with existing email technologies: it does not preclude a user from continuing to use basic email when necessary. Nor does it require a new program or method of dealing with email messages. Because of our unique “add-on” architecture, secure messages can be stored alongside basic email messages and can be accessed or acted upon from a common and familiar interface. It does not replace Microsoft Exchange, the corporate standard for email management. Retrieved secure messages can be stored in Exchange, or they may never see Exchange, depending on the security settings configured by the administrator. If it is configured to keep messages off an Exchange server, the secure messages are effectively never stored locally, enabling secure, reliable, “recordless” transactions.
