Email Retention is a Major Concern
Company email has become a business-critical database. For many companies 80% of their intellectual property is contained in their email system and intellectual property is their largest asset. In addition, email systems often contain confidential information ranging from client correspondence to employee evaluations. Every email has a sender and a recipient. That means there are two copies of every email and one is probably not in your company’s control. If your company cannot preserve the original email or chain of emails, your company is allowing for the possibility of opposition lawyers, during a legal action, interpreting unmatched emails to their client’s advantage.
Email Archiving is the Answer
With email archiving you can capture and archive inbound and outbound emails and prevent critical emails from being deleted. Archive software and appliances will allow you to store, sort and retrieve them in a timely manner while offloading your email servers.
Reasons to archive now include: maintaining a secure record of business-critical communications, transactions, and intellectual property; quickly resolving disputes and prevent litigation; and complying with Sarbanes-Oxley, the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, HIPAA, the Freedom of Information Act and other regulations.
