Service Overview
UNCLASSIFIED
The Department of Defense’s (DoD) Enterprise Email service provides secure
cloud-based email to the DoD enterprise that is designed to increase
operational efficiency and facilitate collaboration across organizational
boundaries
 Provides secure access to your email anywhere, at anytime, from any place,
whether stationary or mobile
 Supports coordination efforts by sharing individual, organizational, and
resource calendars across the Department of the Defense and its mission
partners
 Reduces the cost of email by eliminating unnecessary administration and
inefficient network configurations, enabling resources to focus on other
priorities
 Replicates your data in highly-secure Defense Enterprise Computing Centers
(DECCs) in order to provide your organization with the level of assurance
required to know that your communications are secure
