In the last few weeks we have informed you in detail about various application areas of Frama RMail in the home office. However, before RMail is used in a company, the IT department is often involved. In this article we will explain how easy it is to install Frama RMail and make it available to employees.

As an IT department there has been a lot to do lately. Many have equipped their colleagues for the home office and provided them with software for virtual collaboration. And now with Frama RMail you must painfully install yet another program? Not at all! Frama RMail is installed in just a few steps.

First, the Frama Home Office Initiative

Frama offers 200 signature processes with RSign and 500 encrypted messages with RMail free of charge and without obligation until 15.05.2020. After that the account will be reset to the usual limit for free use.
