On Wednesday, Amazon unveiled a new cloud-based business email
and calendar service - Amazon WorkMail - to take on Microsoft's office
space.
Developed by Amazon's
cloud computing business unit, Amazon Web Services, WorkMail allows
users to send and receive emails, manage contacts, and share calendars
and can be integrated with mobile devices and existing email clients.
"Customers have repeatedly asked us for a business email and calendaring
service that is more cost-effective and simpler to manage than their
on-premises solution, more secure than the cloud-based offerings
available today, and that is backed by the same best-in-class
infrastructure platform on which they're reliably running so many of
their current (and future) workloads," said Vice President of AWS
Compute Services Peter De Santis in a statement on the email client. "We
built Amazon WorkMail to address these requests and to help businesses
achieve agility and cost savings by letting AWS manage the
non-differentiated heavy lifting involved in corporate email and
calendaring."
"This managed email and calendaring solution runs in the Cloud. It
offers a unique set of security controls and works with your existing
desktop and mobile clients (there's also a browser-based interface). If
your organization already has a directory of its own, WorkMail can make
use of it via the recently introduced AWS Directory Service. If not,
WorkMail will use Directory Service to create a directory for you as
part of the setup process," explained Amazon's Jeff Barr on the AWS
blog. "WorkMail was designed to work with your existing PC and
Mac-based Outlook clients including the prepackaged Click-to-Run
versions. It also works with mobile clients that speak the Exchange
ActiveSync protocol." Amazon is offering a 30 day free trial of WorkMail
for up to 25 users. The free trial includes 50 GB of email storage per
employee and a mailbox migration tool. Following the free trial, Amazon
WorkMail will be available for $4 a month for a 50 GB mailbox or $6 per
month for a WorkMail and WorkDocs bundle. Amazon WorkMail launched in
preview in Northern Virginia and Ireland on Wednesday. Users can sign up
for the Preview online though the finished product is expected to
launch in Q2 2015.
