Jan. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- There are security concerns for email in a computer or local server that can be tempered with. Another reason for this is price - email solutions are now affordable. Next, it is scalable - whether a company is expanding or downsizing, it only pays for what it actually uses. Finally, the expanded functionality of using enterprise-grade email systems trump single-point solutions.

Here are 3 educated predictions for 2013 on the state of corporate emails (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEOC0rVR4bc).



1. Increasing storage

With rapidly improving technology, storage space becomes even cheaper and ever more efficient, it's safe to say that users will be able to get more storage for less with cloud email hosting over the course of this year.

As the cloud based Software as a Service (SaaS) market gets more crowded - storage space is the most obvious where companies can use to differentiate themselves from the competition.

It may be wise to shop around for the best offers around instead of just blindly sticking to on-site back up storage or the existing cloud email hosting.

2. More widespread use

Cloud based services and applications are set to become more mainstream over the course of 2013. Almost all data will be put in the cloud, with cloud email hosting forging the path ahead.

This is easy to see as in the cloud, everything is readily available from anywhere. As broadband / fiber optic speeds and mass availability increase, along with the spread and development of 4G mobile internet, the cloud is rapidly becoming the most efficient way of managing data and communication.

With widespread take up rate of high-speed Internet at home or on-the-go for regular consumers, people will start discovering the vast array of cloud-based services available. It is more than likely in this period, cloud email hosting (http://www.dropmyemail.com/) will become one of the most obvious options for consumers and businesses. Email is still one of the most common forms of day-to-day messaging mediums. Also, in business, email communications remaining the official language. Modern society will want to host this data in the ever-accessible and safe cloud.

As this awareness, and trust, of cloud services increases, businesses will lean heavily towards cloud email hosting and its related applications. This is be because the cloud constantly evolves to challenging economic situations by reducing IT costs and offering more work mobility.

3. Greater security provision

Security has become a big concern in the past few years. Some of the high profile cases have brought this issue home to many people like the phone hacking scandal in the UK, corporate HQ espionage and more. This has alerted businesses to the importance of security.

Already more robust security-wise, cloud email hosting will become more appealing to business leaders realizing the importance of data security.

Greater security will be implemented into the cloud email-hosting offerings to respond to the concerns of users, and to further differentiate from less secure local email services. Many providers use enterprise-level military grade security to keep data safe. Expect to see this enhanced even more as the year unravels.

Predictions are always difficult, but going by the trends of 2012, bigger, better more secure cloud services will be commonplace, with cloud email hosting leading the charge.
