Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cloud-based email sending service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), handling both inbound and outbound email traffic for your applications. It allows users to send and receive email using SES’s reliable and cost-effective infrastructure without having to provision email servers yourself.
Managing multiple email workloads at scale can be a daunting task for organizations. From handling high volumes of emails to routing them efficiently, and ensuring uniform compliance with regulations, the challenges can be overwhelming. Managing different types of outbound emails, whether one-to-one user email, transactional or marketing emails generated from applications, also becomes challenging due to increasing concerns of security and compliance requirements. To help customers tackle these pain points, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced a new feature to streamline inbound and outbound email management: SES Mail Manager.
The challenge: Managing different email flows efficiently with compliance and security in place
Efficiently routing and processing emails to the appropriate teams or systems while ensuring proper filtering, security, and compliance is a complex undertaking. Meanwhile, outbound email flows have become increasing complex. Besides emails being sent between users, more and more emails are generated from different types of applications. On top of that, keeping up security and compliance requirements is an ongoing task for all IT administrators and CISOs. Maintaining email integrations with existing business applications, providing scalability and redundancy to accommodate spikes, and facilitating long-term archiving and retrieval further compound the difficulties. Without a robust and scalable solution, organizations struggle to manage email communications effectively, hindering productivity and exposing themselves to risks.
