Business users spend about a fifth of
their time (19 percent or one hour and 17 minutes per
day) sending and receiving emails. They deal with an
average of 108 business email messages a day.Because
email is so central to business, a large proportion of a
company’s institutional memory lives in its email
archive. Storing, managing and searching that archive is
now a core business requirement. The cost of failure is
high: losing arguments, losing law suits, losing jobs.
Email servers alone cannot cope with long-term storage
of very large volumes of email and attachments.
Companies need a more robust, flexible and powerful
approach .
Here are some of he benefits of email archiving:
-
A consistent
email archive for legal, HR, regulatory or business
reasons
-
A
tamper-proof data trail for email for legal discovery or
litigation hold
-
Less pressure on email quotas and
storage from proliferating attachments
- Less risk and hassle when users create local
PST files to store emails and circumvent quota policies
-
A central archive means
that users don’t need to create their own PST files. For
example, when some clients first started using Archive
Your Mail, some mailboxes shrunk by more than 80 percent
and daily PC backups shrunk by 32 percent as local PST
files were not needed.
The ability to search your archive is also Important.
