An email archiving service is essential for business.

Archiving email is an essential part of business operations today. Email is a critical communications tool and offers a recorded history of communications with employees, customers, suppliers, and partners. It documents contracts and negotiations, records purchase orders, and provides evidence in legal proceedings. By not archiving your email, you can leave your organization vulnerable to significant legal and regulatory risk.

Many organizations have attempted an in-house solution for email archiving, but at significant cost and difficulty. An archive requires a secure central repository for email, and creating such a system is not only expensive but technically complex for any IT organization. The bigger the company and the larger the number of email users, the more difficult it becomes to tie together mail servers and geographic locations. Many companies have found that their in-house email archiving solutions quickly grow to consume IT resources at a rate that is disproportionate to other IT priorities.

An email archiving service can solve the problem by automating archiving and simplifying access to retained email. An email archiving service can be far superior to in-house solutions that require significant investment in the hardware and software needed to manage rapidly growing volumes of email data. For a growing number of companies seeking an affordable and innovative email archiving service, Mimecast is the preferred solution.
