E-mail: The First Step When E-mail first became available to general users in the 1970s, it was a mainframe-resident application that served a relatively small constituency. Today, electronic messaging is one of the most important information technologies available. In fact, the messaging market has grown to more than 100 million users worldwide. CTR's new Messaging Technologies for Global Communications analyzes the entire spectrum of messaging technology, including the most recently developed systems and applications. The report will help information technology (IT) professionals do the following: understand the benefits of global communications, evaluate emerging Internet messaging technologies, choose appropriate messaging products, vendors, and security measures, integrate new messaging technologies with legacy systems, and implement and manage an effective messaging system.
Messaging System Management Effectively managing messaging transactions, resources, and client usage is vital to the success of a messaging architecture. Messaging Technologies for Global Communications reviews the protocols and methodologies utilized in implementing management architectures for messaging systems. The report also provides a valuable messaging management checklist, examines the available messaging directories, and evaluates critical security tools and techniques such as encryption and certification.
The Role of Standards
If there is one development that has driven the emergence of open, universal messaging technology, it is the rise and acceptance of standards-based applications.
