AWS WorkMail

Amazon WorkMail enables users to access their email, contacts, and calendars seamlessly through the client application of their choice. This includes Microsoft Outlook, the email applications that come pre-installed on iOS and Android devices, and any other client application that supports the IMAP protocol. Users can also access their information directly through a web browser. You have the ability to control both the keys that encrypt your data as well as the location in which your data is stored, as well as integrate Amazon WorkMail with your existing corporate directory, use email journaling to meet compliance requirements, and integrate Amazon WorkMail with your existing corporate directory. Using the Amazon WorkMail Software Development Kit (SDK), it is also possible to set up interoperability with Microsoft Exchange Server and manage users, groups, and resources in a programmatic manner.

Features

Compatibility with Microsoft Outlook
Because Amazon WorkMail offers native support for Microsoft Outlook on both Windows and Mac OS X, customers are able to keep utilizing the email client that they are already familiar with without having to install any additional software, such as plug-ins for Microsoft Outlook. All of the complex Microsoft Outlook features that your customers rely on, such as free/busy scheduling, delegation, and out-of-office answers, are supported in Amazon WorkMail.

Enterprise Security
Using the AWS Key Management Service, Amazon WorkMail encrypts all of your data while it is stored in a manner that is completely automatic. The encryption keys are under your control. Amazon WorkMail gives you the ability to choose the AWS region in which all of your data is stored, so you can continue to exercise complete control over the data’s physical location. When data is in transit, it is encrypted using SSL encryption, which is the standard in the industry.

Integration of Active Directory (AD)
You can run AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory Enterprise Edition (“Microsoft AD”) or integrate your existing Microsoft Active Directory with Amazon WorkMail by utilizing the AWS Directory Service AD Connector. This will allow you to avoid having to manage users in two separate locations, and users will still be able to use their credentials from their existing Microsoft Active Directory accounts. You also have the option of having Amazon WorkMail construct and operate a Simple AD directory on your behalf. If you do this, users in that directory will be created automatically whenever you add new members to your Amazon WorkMail organization.

Journaling
Through the use of journaling, you are able to keep a record of all of the emails that were sent or received by your Amazon WorkMail organization. You will be able to fulfill the requirements of your data security and information protection policies when you enable journaling by utilizing third-party compliance solutions for e-discovery and email archiving. Because industry standards are utilized for journaling in Amazon WorkMail, it is possible to interact with any third-party solution that supports SMTP journaling.

Microsoft Exchange Server compatibility
Exchange Server 2010 and 2013 can be configured to work together. Amazon WorkMail and Microsoft Exchange Server can both be used at the same time, allowing you to use the same corporate domain for mailboxes in both systems. Users can easily organize meetings with bi-directional sharing of calendar free-busy information and can access user and resource information via a global address book. You can utilize Amazon WorkMail concurrently with Microsoft Exchange Server for a portion of your corporate mailboxes because of interoperability.
