Speaking during a panel discussion at the 2019 MyBroadband Cloud Conference, Mimecast Sales Engineer for the Middle East and Africa Mikey Molfessis refuted the predicted death of email.<\/p>\n
While many have predicted that email will die in the near future, Molfessis said he does not expect email to go anywhere.<\/p>\n
“Email has been around for decades,” he said. “When people get to work in the morning, they always start up their email client before anything else.”<\/p>\n
“Email has just constantly grown. We now scan billions of emails a month, and it just keeps growing. It isn’t age specific – there are teenagers, older people, and corporates using emails.”<\/p>\n
Also present on the discussion panel was VMWare Cloud Provider Manager Dave Funnell, who spoke about the challenges and obstacles when migrating to the cloud.<\/p>\n
He noted that there is a significant amount of cloud adoption in South Africa.<\/p>\n
“Adoption of SaaS and platforms like Office 365 has been great,” Funnell said. “Connectivity has also become a lot cheaper and has more resilience, and there is a requirement for localised cloud.”<\/p>\n
He said that when it comes to problems with cloud migration, security can be a big issue in some cases, and there is a need for properly-planned migrations tailored to companies’ requirements.<\/p>\n
