Trend Micro recommends a pilot deployment of ScanMail before implementing it full
scale. A pilot deployment:
-
Allows you to gain familiarity with ScanMail.
-
Allows you to develop or refine the company's network policies.
-
Can give the IT department or installation team a chance to rehearse and refine the deployment process and test whether your deployment plan meets your organization's business requirements.
-
Provides an opportunity to determine how features work and the level of support likely to be needed after full deployment.
-
Can help determine which configurations need improvements.
To test ScanMail at one location:
-
Prepare for a test deployment.
-
Select a pilot site.
-
Create a rollback plan.
-
Deploy and evaluate the pilot.
