Email Technology

Does anyone build their own PC anymore? Write their own operating systems? Create their own SQL databases?...then why do we keep creating our own outbound email delivery systems?

Until recently there wasn't any other choice. Most of today's outbound email delivery software is based on technology that is over 20 years old. As businesses have stretched this technology to its limits, they have had to improvise with cobbled-together technology to meet the ever-escalating demands of the business. As these systems grow in size and complexity, they become increasingly difficult to maintain, costly to run, and prone to failure.

Some of the factors that drive this increasing complexity are:

• ISP rules that limit what emails get delivered and when
• Regulations that force specific email sending practices
• The need to create a sense of one-to-one communications
• Better analysis of email effectiveness

With complexity comes increased costs, more time to fix problems, and less ability to quickly adapt to new requirements. New email infrastructure software is helping to address these issues by providing an integrated set of capabilities into a single platform.
