Simplify message workflows
Streamlining the communication processes in military operations is crucial to achieve mission success.
Minimise deployment costs
The existing infrastructure and familiarity of Outlook reduces maintenance and training expenses.
Secure message exchanges
Advanced encryption and authentication protocols protect the exchange of confidential information.
Information sharing is the lifeblood of virtually every modern organisation – defence forces are no exception. However, standard corporate email and instant messaging tools do not satisfy military requirements for sending information between organisations and roles, rather than between named individuals.
IRIS Military Mail extends the familiar capabilities of the Microsoft Outlook, turning it into a Military Message Handling System (MMHS). IRIS Military Mail in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook enables incoming and outgoing messages to be handled in accordance with military procedures. Outgoing messages can be passed through a workflow that ensures the right authorisation for releasing messages. Similar incoming distribution rules may be used to ensure that messages are automatically delivered to the relevant roles for action and info.
A Microsoft Outlook add-on
IRIS Military Mail leverages the powerful capabilities of Microsoft Outlook to provide a complete military message handling solution based on a proven platform.
Military attributes
With IRIS Military Mail, it is easy to send a military message that includes all the required attributes.
Optimised email workflows
Timely delivery and distribution of messages significantly reduces manual information management.
Information exchange
IRIS Military Mail supports a variety of distribution protocols to enable cross-coalition communication.
Distribution management
By defining workflow rules, information sharing remains with only selected staff members.
IRIS Military Mail provides a complete message handling infrastructure based on the well-known Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange, augmented with full support for military operating procedures. IRIS Military Mail seamlessly integrates with the rest of the IRIS suite as well as the C4ISR solutions in the SitaWare suite.
