Software-as-a-Service Low cost Immediate setup Full compliance The need to securely archive and rapidly produce email is no longer just a requirement of the Financial Services industry. Increasingly it is becoming a mandatory regulatory requirement for organisations of all sizes. Studies have shown that for typical organisations today, a huge proportion of their critical business data resides in emails with steadily rising management costs. In the event of a problem, the implications of this data being held in an insecure location, without adequate search and retention polices don t need spelling out. Increasingly email and storage administrators have to answer key questions such as: Where is specific business data held? What actions were taken to preserve it? How can the data be searched and reproduced? What is the company's data retention/deletion policy?
