Trends of Corporate Emails in Ethiopia

Have you wondered why significant number of #professionals and even high ranking #officials of Ethiopian #public and #private institutions are using free #email services using public #domains (mainly Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail) for business, instead of using corporate/professional email addresses with their institution #domainnames? Have you ever received such a remark from a business partners or professionals from abroad, why distinguished personalities are relying on #free #email services? Please spare few minutes of your time to share the perspective from ZERGAW CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDER

It is now a well-established fact that using professional email with domain name of affiliated institution, among other, help institutions look professional, establish credibility and trustworthiness, build brand and ensure security.?

Going a couple of decades back in time, a few numbers of #ethiopian #institutions started using professional #emails with email addresses matching their own domain names by deploying dedicated private #mail #servers on their premises. However, that trend did not take-off much and only a handful of institutions are still using corporate emails with on-premises mail server deployment. This limited penetration of such corporate email usage is mainly because of lack of technical capability to #design, #deploy, #manage and #secure a reliable server-based email service, as well as considerable email service #downtime experience because of frequent mail server power and Internet interruptions. To address these challenges and the required high amount capital expenditure (CAPEX) in foreign currency, institutions started using email renting services from a local email hosting provider, ethio telecom , or cloud-based global service provider as in Gsuite?by Gmail and?Microsoft Exchange?Emails by?Microsoft.

While the local option has technical issues to address, the global option is payable in foreign currency, the cost grows with the demand, and has regulatory gaps as the mailboxes are hosted outside of the country. ?
