5 Questions you should Ask Before Moving Email to the Cloud

Companies need the flexibility to deploy services in a private or public cloud depending on their unique needs or industry compliance requirements. In order to maximize flexibility and minimize the total cost of ownership.

If you are considering moving your email to the cloud, there are several questions to ask when deciding on which solution is right for your and your organization.

1. Can users access email both online and offline and on any device?

2. Is the platform based on an open, extensible standard?

3. What level of management support and security does your company require?

4. Does the vendor build on a modern, distributed and highly salable model?

5. What are your total costs, including software, infrastructure and operating expenses?

Cloud-based email solutions help companies meet growing expectations as well as cost reductions. It’s the next step for companies, and it’s one that will reward both employees and the bottom line.
