Optimized and Integrated Processes



Public authorities profit from:
  • Comprehensive security and confidentiality in official e-mail processes
  • Legally-compliant archiving makes previous e-mail available on demand
  • Encryption and electronic signatures provide enhanced legal security
  • Improved service capability resulting from standardized e-mail processes
  • Simplified e-mail management even in cases where staff members are absent


The European Union has defined the founding principles of "good government:" openness, participation, responsibility, effectiveness and coherence. Modern management practices and communications infrastructures are necessary to achieve these goals. Businesses who want to establish themselves, citizens who communicate with public officials and participants in public interest initiatives all expect trouble-free communication via e-mail.

The public hand has responded, and authorities are re-defining public administration to reflect the e-government concept. As a result, public service functions can now be accelerated, quality improved and costs reduced. Efficient, secure and integrated e-mail communication plays a fundamental role within this effort.

In addition to the pressures created by costs, citizens and government mandates, the growing volume of e-mail is forcing the issue. An effective e-mail infrastructure for public authorities must address the following issues:



  • E-mail Security: Encryption, electronic signatures, protection against spam, phishing and viruses, and protection of confidential information
  • E-mail Policy and 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
  • 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 folders 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
  • Accounting and Billing: Comprehensive reports and statistics—such as spam/virus volume or departmental cost accounting—for improved cost management
