Better, Secure, Affordable
In today's digital era, email remains a critical communication tool for businesses
worldwide. It facilitates seamless interaction, collaboration, and information
exchange, making it indispensable for organizational operations.
Many organizations face a common challenge with their email hosting services; they
pay for comprehensive service packages from providers like Microsoft, Google, or
Zoho, which include a range of collaborative tools and advanced features. However,
these advanced services are not utilized by a majority of the users within the
organization. Typically, only about 20% of the workforce fully exploits these
features, while the remaining 80% use only basic email functionalities. This results
in paying for full licenses for all users, leading to significant underutilization of
resources and unnecessary costs.
Hybrid Email Hosting
To address this inefficiency, we propose Mi SmartMail a Hybrid Email Hosting
solution. This approach aims to optimize costs by aligning the service level with
actual user needs within the organization.
How Mi SmartMail Works?
Identification of User Groups
Power Users (20%): These users require the full suite of services
provided by Microsoft, Google, or Zoho.
Basic Users (80%): These users only need basic email functionalities
without the additional collaborative tools.
Service Allocation
Power Users: Continue to host these users on platforms like Microsoft,
Google, or Zoho, ensuring they have access to the comprehensive
tools necessary for their roles.
Basic Users: Migrate these users to a cost-effective, dedicated email
hosting service. This service will provide reliable email functionalities
(sending and receiving emails) without the extra features that are not
utilized.
