E-mail goes military

Lifeblood of the command structure

Electronic communication is the lifeblood of virtually every modern organisation – defence forces are no exception.

But standard corporate e-mail and instant messaging tools doesn’t live up to military requirements for sending information between organisations and roles rather than between named individuals.

Complete e-mail infrastructure

IRIS Organisational Messaging provides a complete military message handling infrastructure, based on the well-known Microsoft® Outlook® and Microsoft® Exchange®, augmented with full support for military operating procedures.

Military information has to be allocated and delivered on the basis of tasks, ranks and positions rather than people’s names, and security concerns have to be dealt with.

Familiar tools – optimised for military uses

This software significantly extends the familiar capabilities of the software so these can be easily used in military environments. It also makes sure key information doesn’t end in the wrong place by mistake or get lost.

This is done by configuring IRIS Organisational Messaging to enforce the procedures used in your particular organisation. Messages are passed smoothly through command structures before being released to the appropriate recipients, and incoming messages are sent to the appropriate recipients for action. All message handling is based on roles within a specific organisation.
