Email retention requires a new approach

As email has become the primary form of business communication, email retention is now a critical part of data management. Many aspects of business are recorded and documented through email - purchase orders, negotiations, transactions, legal commitments, and many others. Consequently, email retention is critical to regulatory compliance, legal proceedings and business competitiveness. But creating an in-house system for email retention can be costly and complicated. The task can easily consume a disproportionate amount of IT budgets, and the complexity of the project can threaten the validity of and availability of email data. To be effective, a retention system must be able to make any email instantly searchable and retrievable by any authorized user. For an email retention solution that is not only highly effective but also extremely cost-efficient, companies the world over are turning to Mimecast.
