Confidential and Trouble-Free E-mail Communication



Industrial businesses profit from:
  • Secure, legally-compliant e-mail communication
  • Reliable defense against industrial espionage and intellectual property loss
  • Faster processing of e-mail messages improves customer service response times
  • Legally-compliant archiving makes previous e-mail available on demand
  • E-mail volume and usage reports for individual cost centers facilitate tighter cost accounting


Businesses that produce, for example automotive, chemical and pharmaceutical firms—as well as those in the energy supply, construction and mechanical engineering sectors—are faced with many complex challenges. Not only cost considerations, but legal mandates, globalization, increased time pressures when bringing new products to market and expansion into new markets are forcing them to accelerate their business processes and implement professional communications infrastructures. Integrated, trouble-free e-mail processes play an essential role in increasing productivity along the value chain and simultaneously reducing costs.

In recent years, the pressure to manage e-mail as a formal business process has been motivated by costs, customers and increasingly stringent regulatory statutes. Today, intensifying competition and the growing volume of e-mail are forcing the issue. An effective e-mail infrastructure for industrial businesses must therefore address the following issues:



  • E-mail Security: Encryption, electronic signatures, protection against spam, phishing and viruses, and protection of confidential information
  • E-mail Compliance: Compliance with internal guidelines and external statutes, which in the end require that the content of incoming and outgoing messages, including attachments, is reviewed for compliance before further processing; a flexible and configurable rule-based framework that embodies organization guidelines; prevents espionage
  • E-mail Archiving: Tamper- and audit-proof archive/restore of business-relevant e-mails that complies with legal mandates like GDPdU, IFRS, Basel II and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
  • E-mail Classification: Categorization of e-mails for archiving/restore, for the assignment of documents to specific projects and as desired for the automatic forwarding of e-mails to designated individuals
  • Disclaimers: The automatic affixation of a disclaimer at the end of every e-mail to provide legal security
  • Integration of the e-mail platform with other business applications to enable cross-function business processes and to support the project-specific collection of documents
