Reduce Cost & Complexity with Hybrid Email Infrastructure

In any organization there exist three distinct types of users:

  • Management Team (mobile users requiring 24×7 access to email)
  • Back-office staff (desktop users with mostly office use)
  • Field staff (mobile users with intermittent use)

With a varying number of user profiles in each category depending on its type & size, simply one size does not fit all. An only on-premises setup ends up at very high costs or in compromising on the performance. In such a case, cloud might not be sufficient to maintain compliance. Even further, one single email solution like Webmail, Microsoft 365, etc might not suit the varied use in the organization

That’s where Hybrid Email Infrastructure Email Solution from Buzinessware makes sense. We work with you to understand your business needs & deliver the best solution that makes sense to your business and technically too. Be it a combination of on-premise and cloud or two cloud solutions sharing the same SMTP address space allowing the company to divide their mailboxes across the two solutions

Hybrid email can indeed help save money in several ways:

Hosting

Reduced
Communication Costs

Hybrid email can help reduce communication costs by minimizing the need for additional communication tools or services. Instead of subscribing to separate messaging platforms, users can leverage the messaging features within their existing email system. This eliminates the need for additional subscriptions or licenses, resulting in cost savings.

Hosting

Consolidation of
Tools

By integrating real-time messaging capabilities into the email interface, hybrid email eliminates the need for separate tools or applications for email and instant messaging. This consolidation reduces software licensing and maintenance costs associated with multiple tools. It also simplifies the IT infrastructure, potentially lowering hardware and operational expenses.

Hosting

Increased
Productivity

Hybrid email's streamlined communication and collaboration features can enhance productivity, which translates into cost savings. Real-time messaging enables faster decision-making, quicker problem resolution, and more efficient teamwork, resulting in time savings for employees. Improved productivity can lead to higher output and reduced operational costs in the long run.

Hosting

Minimized Training
& Onboarding Costs

Hybrid email typically offers a user-friendly interface that combines the familiarity of email with real-time messaging. This reduces the learning curve for employees, minimizing the need for extensive training and onboarding. The intuitive interface of hybrid email saves time and resources associated with training programs, ultimately reducing costs.

Hosting

Improved Efficiency
in Communication

Hybrid email's real-time messaging capabilities enable faster and more responsive communication. This efficiency can result in reduced delays, better coordination, and optimized workflows. By streamlining communication, businesses can save time and avoid costly misunderstandings or miscommunications.

Hosting

Enhanced Security
and Compliance

Hybrid email often includes robust security measures, such as encryption and authentication protocols, ensuring the protection of sensitive information. By using a secure hybrid email solution, organizations can avoid potential security breaches or compliance violations that could lead to financial penalties or losses.
