Case Study: Kyoto University of Education achieves secure, seamless email migration with Zimbra

Kyoto University of Education migrates 2,000 email accounts in 5 months with Zimbra

Kyoto University of Education, an institution with a 147-year history of training teachers, faced recurring phishing attacks and spam that exposed vulnerabilities in its old email system. The university's Information Processing Center determined that user education alone was insufficient against sophisticated cyber threats and required an advanced security solution. They turned to the vendor Zimbra for its on-premises email solution.

Zimbra provided a secure and agile on-premises email system featuring robust two-factor authentication (2FA) to block unauthorized access. The implementation allowed for the seamless integration of historical emails and featured an intuitive interface that eased the transition for users and administrators. Within five months, Zimbra successfully migrated approximately 2,000 email accounts, resulting in enhanced security, improved operational productivity, and greater cost efficiency by minimizing reliance on external cloud services.
