Zoho Japan Strengthens Migration Support to Zoho Mail Following Amazon WorkMail End of Support

Zoho Japan Corporation (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; Representative Director and President: Manikandan Thangaraj; hereinafter "Zoho Japan") is strengthening its migration support to "Zoho Mail" following the announcement by Amazon Web Services (hereinafter "AWS") regarding the end of support for Amazon WorkMail.

Amazon WorkMail will cease accepting new customers on April 30, 2026, and support will end on March 31, 2027. AWS official documentation guides users to migrate to external services, including Zoho Mail.

Companies and organizations using Amazon WorkMail are now required to review their email infrastructure and formulate migration plans in anticipation of the support end date. Zoho Mail offers a one-click migration feature for emails, contacts, and calendars from Amazon WorkMail, allowing for a smooth transition with minimal impact on business operations.

Consideration of "Email Migration" due to Amazon WorkMail's End of Support

Business email is the foundation for customer communication and internal contact, and the upcoming end of support necessitates not only a review of the email environment but also a critical consideration that impacts business operations.

Migration from Amazon WorkMail requires careful planning, considering multiple items such as emails, contacts, calendars, and user information. With a deadline of March 31, 2027, early planning for migration is crucial.

The impact is expected to be significant in the following cases:

● Companies that have used Amazon WorkMail as their email infrastructure.

● Companies operating systems integrated with AWS services, requiring a comprehensive review of their entire business environment.

● Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organizations that outsource email system implementation and operation to external IT vendors, making in-house migration difficult.

Such companies are actively considering realistic migration destinations from perspectives such as "Can we migrate without interrupting business?", "How can we minimize the burden of migration?", and "To what extent can we reduce migration risks?"

Background for Zoho Mail being considered as a migration candidate

Zoho Mail has over 10 years of experience as a business email service and is used by 16 million users worldwide. With the end of Amazon WorkMail support, it is being considered as one of the migration options.

● One-click migration for emails, contacts, and calendars

The migration feature for Amazon WorkMail allows for batch migration of emails, contacts, and calendars. By utilizing IAM authentication, migration can proceed safely and efficiently without manual exports or complex server configurations.

● Email infrastructure with a focus on security and privacy

It provides encryption for emails and security features for administrators, offering the protection required for business use. It also adopts a privacy-focused service design that does not rely on an advertising revenue model.

● Japanese UI and support system

The administration screen and help are available in Japanese, providing an environment that makes it easy to consider even for first-time migrations.

● Integration with business applications

Zoho Mail can also be used in conjunction with business applications such as chat and online meetings.
