Benefits
90% of attacks on email servers are due to junk mails.
Like others, Tonlin started off having their on-prem servers for email services. One new year’s eve, an incident of cyber attack caused thousands of mails to be sent in a day, resulted in their server being black listed. Upon investigation, it was found that 90% of their emails are junk mails. New methods of cyber attacks evolved frequently and it’s going to be very tough in keeping up with such attacks by installing and updating firewalls and other security related devices. Instead of spending time, effort and money in keeping the on-prem server structure, it would be wiser to invest in G Suite Enterprice Edition which eliminates junk mails by design.
Gmail Enterprise Edition is safe and secure with intuitive user interface and administrator console.
Through associates from the same industry, Mr. Li learned about Gmail and its enterprise edition. Mr. Li believes that the world presense of Google and her facilities are the best testimony by itself. He also believe that Gmail is safe, stable and is able to elimate junk mail and the hassle of maintaining old servers. Compared to personal Gmail, the enterprise edition will allow email addresses to bear company’s domain name and has the ability for central administation of mailboxes and data. To her users, most of them would be a user of personal Gmail and accessed via iOS or andriod devices, thus will be familiar with the interface and its usage. Therefore, the learning curve of their users will be reduced drasticially after migration.
When working with government agencies, a project mailbox or special email addresses may be necessary for easy identification. Gmail Enterprise Edition allows the set up of aliases and group names. All can be operated through the intuitive Admin Console, without the need for paid assistance.
Unlimited Cloud Storage allowing staff to access to files while on business travel.
The main reasons for Tonlin Department Store to use G Suite Business Edition are “Unlimited Cloud Storage” and “safe deposit box” function. Through unlimited cloud storage, colleagues who are stationed in the field or on business trips can also use Google Cloud hard drive to share files with colleagues, even if the uploaded files are huge. In addition, the use of the G Suite Business Edition comes with team’s cloud drive features, allowing team members to share the data in the cloud more quickly, without having to set permissions for the folders one by one, saving many hours for internal team members.
