SaaS-based solutions more cost effective than Email archive software.
As email has become an integral part of business communication, email retention and archiving have become a critical part of managing business data. By archiving email for future access and recovery, businesses can more easily comply with regulatory, legal, and operational demands for the information that email may contain. Consequently, demand is growing for email archive software.
But in-house email archive software and hardware solutions can be notoriously difficult to deploy, maintain and manage. As the volume of email messages and attachments constantly increases, the need for greater storage volumes grows unpredictably. Add to that the complexity of managing and centralizing data from servers that may be spread out around the globe, and you begin to see why in-house email archive software may be cost prohibitive.
That's why so many companies are now considering the alternative to email archive software available as a hosted Software-as-a-Service solution.

“The Mimecast system allows us to offload all the hassle of capacity planning for the next ten years of storage without sacrificing any of the control”
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.”
