Organizations Must Protect Email Records
The most difficult part of archiving is deciding how long data should be stored and making sure that it is retained and deleted according to that policy.
As email dependency increased, retention periods have become longer, more stringent and more varied across different classes of employees and departments. Legal holds, increased compliance requirements for Federal Rules of Civil Procedures (FRCP) rule changes, and the ongoing evolution of business practices are now requiring new retention period policies.
However, many archiving systems require retention policy decisions be made before the system is implemented and are expensive or impossible to later change. Most archiving systems are just not flexible enough to accommodate these evolving needs.
Complete Retention and Deletion Policy Control
The Active Archiving Service has built-in flexible and granular retention policy engines that allow changes or legal holds at any time without the costs of difficult in-house modifications. The Active Archiving Service can provide virtually infinite mailboxes for any number of users and the costs associated with deploying and maintaining the service are fully known upfront, requiring little or no initial investment, and have predictable monthly costs. There is no need to lock-in retention policies before deployment; changes are recorded to provide a complete audit. Import email from Exchange and eliminate the need for users to store local .pst files.
