Managing Email in any business is a complex balancing act between the needs of the business, the wants of your users, and requirements imposed by regulatory compliance. No longer is it acceptable to maintain your long-term data storage on tape-based systems, purge the data after a couple of weeks, or months, or store it in unmanageable locations such as the individual’s hard drives.
Many organizations have found themselves in the uncomfortable and expensive situation presented by eDiscovery. The time involved in retrieving data from tapes, PST’s, CD or DVD’s and other locations is not only excessive, expensive to maintain, but you cannot guarantee that you can even read or even fid the data after years of “sitting on the shelf”. Of course, that assumes that you can find data in the first place!

Managing data in any business is a complex balancing act between the needs of the business, the wants of the users, and requirements imposed by regulatory compliance. No longer is it acceptable to maintain long-term data storage only on tape-based systems, purge data after a couple of weeks or months, or to store it in unmanageable locations such as individual user’s hard drives.
