For one thing, companies recognize that the old paper-based information transport processes were slow and error-prone. Electronic data interchange (EDI) resolved some of these issues, but only for the structured data included in standard EDI transactions.

When it comes to providing effective e-mail security, the common approach of using a shared service is simply not adequate for many enterprises. This approach has not kept up with the increasing complexity of e-mail security threats. A dedicated e-mail security service, on the other hand, is far more suited to meet the needs of today's companies, and it enables enterprises to address complex data security challenges.
