The Total Cost of Email

You can't afford to ignore email archiving, security, internal policy or regulatory requirements, but can you afford to keep paying for it as multiple systems on top of your email system?


When you add up the full price tag for your email environment, from server to software to risk management and staff costs, it becomes clear why running everything in-house can mean you spend far more of your budget on maintenance than innovation.

If you are reviewing your IT budget email is likely to be under the spotlight. 

Option 1: Build in-house

Option 2: One service

Cost savings without compromise

Connecting to cloud-based services can make quite a difference to your bottom line. Not only will you significantly reduce ongoing capital expenditure, you'll bring down operational expenses as well.

Uncovering the email costs

The costs are high if implemented and maintained in-house.  Ensuring email is always free from spam, available even during email system outages, that leakage of confidential data is prevented, and a permanent record is kept in an email archive is a complex and time consuming task.
