Introduction

Up to 70% of your business’ important information resides in email!
As reliance on email continues to grow, the challenge of storing, protecting, managing, and accessing this essential resource will continue to increase.

• Are you prepared to meet legal discovery requests for email?
• Are you complying with industry regulations such as SEC, Sarbanes-Oxley and NASD?
• Are you effectively addressing your email storage management challenges?
• Can your employees easily search and retrieve all their email?

The importance of email in business

Practically everybody uses e-mail, and practically everybody has severe filing and archiving problems with e-mail. Unlike data backup, e-mail backup and retrieval solutions have been largely ignored by businesses.

Important information such as source, sender or receiver, sending or receiving route and location, date and time stamp, not to mention the content itself, exist in business e-mail, yet these pieces of information are invariably stored haphazardly and are often difficult to access. As paperless businesses increase in number, it is important that e-mail backup and retrieval solutions be implemented to encompass the whole office staff’s business e-mail.
