Email Archiving: a Business-Critical Application

Date: September 2009
Type: White Paper
Rating: (1)

Overview: Email is growing exponentially and is more critical to business communications than ever before. And although email comprises a full 75% of companies’ intellectual property, most fail to adequately archive this critical business asset. Some companies are unaware of how at-risk their email systems actually are. Others believe existing backup systems will protect their email.

Discover what mistakes can occur when email archiving becomes an internal IT responsibility—including the many hidden costs of archiving email software and hardware.

Savvy companies are finding new solutions to these challenges, such as sophisticated email archiving services that protect business email 24X7, bundled with enterprise-level support and highly secure data storage. All email is encrypted before it leaves the company and is stored off-site for disaster recovery and business continuity purposes. Archived email can be restored quickly and without IT professionals—users merely browse archived email and click on messages and attachments they wish to restore.

For most businesses, costs of email archiving services, such as MessageLabs, is actually lower and more secure than purchasing and running in-house archiving software. Email archiving provides a cost-effective mechanism for today’s businesses to gain enterprise-level email protection and retrieval to maintain a competitive edge. Secure storage, fault tolerance, and around-the-clock, expert customer support are just a few of the benefits associated with these services.
