‘Amazon to take on Google and Microsoft by offering corporate email’ – ‘Mashable’

Adario Strange says, “From setting up one of the world’s largest ecommerce stores to entering the world of film and television, Amazon now plans to dive into the world of corporate email.

The company will launch a product called WorkMail, a $4-per-month, per-user secure-email solution for business users, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Although Amazon’s decision to take on the likes of Google (with corporate email at $5 per user, per month) and Microsoft (also $5 per user, per month for Office 365 business email) may come as a surprise to some, it actually makes perfect sense.

Many of Silicon Valley’s most high-profile startups rely on Amazon Web Services for their cloud computing needs, particularly because of the its ease of use and reputation for security. Those two aspects are reportedly also central to Amazon’s sales pitch to corporate customers”.
