Email archiving software can be complex to manage.

As email archiving has become an important part of data management, many companies are seeking email archiving software to deploy and manage an in-house archive solution. Email today is as much a record of business transactions as it is a method of business communication. As such, it is frequently subject to legal and regulatory demands and an effective email archive can help your organization comply with corporate regulation and avoid risk.

But most email archiving software solutions are difficult to implement in-house. Consider the sheer volume of data-email message sizes are constantly increasing, thanks in part to ever-larger attachment sizes. Data volumes grow unpredictably. The need for continuous availability and guaranteed access to retained email requires companies to invest heavily in email archiving software and hardware. And the complexity of managing email servers in widely disparate locations can be overwhelming.

That's why more companies considering email archiving software choose Mimecast email archive services instead.
