Our VP of Federal, Jim Seaman, recently had the opportunity to speak with Sean Gallagher at BisNow FedTech. The discussion focused on what Sendmail is doing in the government/federal space and I wanted to share some highlights from that conversation.
Cloud computing is rapidly gaining acceptance among government IT organizations and many agencies are aggressively looking to move IT services to the cloud. We believe that cloud computing for email is an IT adoption that is here to stay. In the federal government space, Sendmail is an enabler and we endorse the filtering and groupware layer as being good areas to outsource to a private cloud.
Sendmail’s Sentrion appliance enforces policies for email, such as preventing classified data loss, spam and more, for the US Senate, DOE, Executive Office of the President, NASA and NGA. Our platform allows large organizations to centralize these functions with add-ins from leading anti-virus and security vendors in the network backbone.
Jim said he really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about what Sean is hearing from companies in the federal space and he looks forward to continuing the conversation around this topic and sharing more news in the coming weeks around Sendmail’s efforts.
