Accessibility
2Elements of Email Management?
- eDiscovery
- Speed of Retrieval
- Disaster Recovery
- Storage Management
- Knowledge Management
- PST Management
- Centralized storage
3Facts
- Almost 80 of employees admit to sharing
confidential information via email - In the last 12 months, 17 of Fortune 1000
companies have had to disclose the content of
corporate email as part of ongoing trials. - Email constitutes a written communication that
carries the same formality and weight of a
certified letter - Deleted email is never completely deleted
4Facts
- Deleting email on a regular basis is no guarantee
an organization will not be held liable for
producing email - In the past 3 years, 81 of IT departments have
been required to search back-ups to retrieve one
or more emails - Almost 50 of organizations have been ordered by
a court or regulatory body to produce email - 4 out of 5 users employ personal/local archives
(PST) to store messaging system data
5- OK, but why do I need it?
6Top 10 Reasons CIOs Buy Email Management
- Because the SEC/FDA/ATF/DOT/FED is breathing down
our neck - Because we should be proactive protecting against
liabilities (removing PST files, malicious
deleting, legal.) - Because we have no place to store current/past
employee contacts/calendars/tasks and email
correspondence - Because we just got sued for A LOT of money
- Because we have no long term strategy for email
7Top 10 Reasons CIOs Buy Email Management
- Because we have no security around current email
archiving - Because our corporate emails are now accessible
to our CRM, ERP, SIS, AP, EMR systems for
back-up, problem resolution, approval and general
reference - Because we just got audited and HIPPA/SOX/GLB
tells us we need to - Because email archiving is part of a larger
centralized initiative for content management - Because email management provides a valuable
knowledge base for reference
8- Great, but how do I use it
- within my business?
9Archiving Events
- Employee is terminated or leaves
- Need to keep import contacts, calendar
appointments, emails - But where do you put it back-up tapes dont
provide access - Project, case or litigation is complete
- Public folders or individual mail folders are
archived - Retention schedule for general storage
- Do you just let your Exchange hard drives
fill-up? - After several years what happens to those hard
drives - Manage real-time project correspondence
- Collaborative environment
