Work mail is amazon’s answer to Office 365.

Amazons new business email service to try and take on Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps for work.

After just launching in Europe and the US, Amazon ‘workmail’ will cost per user $4 (£2.66) a month, or $6 if you want added features like WorkDocs file share and sync service. This however is still slightly more expensive than Office 365 or Google Apps for work subscription .

Amazon WorkMail allows companies to select where they store email data, so European companies can keep in line with EU data protection regulations. Whereas Microsoft automatically uses data centres within the company’s region.

Workmail also allows its users to manage their own encryption key if they so wish, although if they opt to they can use an Amazon web services (AWS) – provided key.

This is Amazon’s latest attempt to target the SMB market. Amazon had for a long time held the title of the largest cloud services provider in the world thanks to its cloud hosting products like EC2, a cloud computing platform, and S3, a cloud storage solution, which have traditionally been used by large enterprises.
