Email has become the mainstay of the business world as the dominant means of delivering a high proportion of crucial business correspondence. For a business to succeed, its email system needs to work securely and reliably every day and any well managed business also needs to retain a complete, comprehensive and searchable email archive.

Creating a secure central repository of all business email data can be an expensive and technically complex undertaking.  The larger the organization, the more mail servers and locations need to be incorporated, the more challenging and vitally important it is to have centralized email data management. Attempting to meet these requirements with in-house systems requires significant capital and operating expenses from a business and often results in a suboptimal solution. 

Effective email data management is vital to every business, and IT departments need a practical strategy that is low risk, future proof, immediately affordable, easy to implement and manage, and critically, has a predictable cost profile over the many years of email data management that lie ahead.
