Technology to archive emails is critical to business data management.
As email has become a core application and the central tool for business communication, the ability to archive emails has become increasingly important. When you can effectively and cost efficiently archive emails, you can more easily retain and recover information about a great variety of business dealings. From transactions to negotiations and commitments to purchases, email is used to record the interactions between employees, customers, suppliers, and partners. And because email is often used as evidence in litigation as proof of regulatory compliance, deploying technology that can effectively archive emails helps protect the business from risk.
But implementing a solution to archive emails presents a challenge for the IT organization. In-house solutions are prohibitively expensive and complex, requiring ever greater storage capacity to hold burgeoning data volumes that are increasing unpredictably. The larger the organization and the greater the number of users, the more difficult it becomes to centralize mail servers and locations. Many companies find that their in-house solutions consume a disproportionate amount of IT resources compared to other IT projects.
Mimecast has solved this dilemma by giving businesses the tools to archive emails with a SaaS-based solution that reduces cost and complexity while minimizing the risks to the organization.

Butterfield Bank Cayman
“Our old means of storage meant we were unable to search or select specific messages. Now, we can archive all emails for up to seven years in a system that’s as safe as a bank’s vault but our audit group also has a simple means of quickly and easily retrieving any email.”
