E-mail 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 e-mail makes this goal challenging. A solution should work in tandem with existing e-mail structures, strengthening the weak points and adding features where they are needed. An e-mail 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, email2 distinguishes itself from PKI encryption approaches to e-mail security. email2 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 e-mail, email2 is a better approach to the problems of 'e-mail'. email2 is the fastest and easiest to use secure messaging solution available today.
email2 is inexpensive to implement, and easy to integrate with existing e-mail technologies and upgrades. email2 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 of the email2 platform is that it is fully brandable and entirely extensible. Everything from the email2 Toolbar to the email2 Web Client can be completely branded with a company logo, colour scheme and corporate identity. email2 provides a true secure messaging solution that will be aesthetically coherent with your company’s corporate identity.
The extensibility of the email2 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, email2 works in conjunction with existing e-mail technologies: it does not preclude a user from continuing to use basic e-mail when necessary. Nor does email2 require a new program or method of dealing with e-mail messages. Because of our unique “add-on” architecture, email2 Messages can be stored alongside basic e-mail messages and can be accessed or acted upon from a common and familiar interface. email2 does not replace any existing e-mail technologies. The email2 platform does not replace Microsoft Exchange, the corporate standard for e-mail management. email2 works in conjunction with and along side existing Exchange setups. Retrieved email2 messages can be stored in Exchange, or they may never see Exchange, depending on the security settings configured by the Private Email Network (PEN) administrator. If a PEN is configured to keep messages off an Exchange server, the email2 messages are effectively never stored locally, enabling secure, reliable, “recordless” transactions.
