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 provides a complete message handling infrastructure based on the well-known Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange, augmented with full support for military operating procedures.
Turning Microsoft Outlook into a Military Message Handling System
IRIS Military Mail is a further development of IRIS Organisation Messaging and extends the familiar capabilities of the Microsoft Outlook, turning it into a Military Message Handling System. 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 authorization 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.

Leverage the powerful capabilities of Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft Outlook, being the de-facto standard mail application, often sets the expectation of the user community for a similar experience in a Military Message Handling System. However, few Military Message Handling Systems offer similar levels of user experience and features as Microsoft Outlook. This is why IRIS Military Mail and Microsoft Outlook are the perfect combination for a Military Message Handling System. Together, the two systems combine the well-known Outlook capabilities with military messaging.
