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:
  1. Prepare for a test deployment.
  2. Select a pilot site.
  3. Create a rollback plan.
  4. Deploy and evaluate the pilot.
