These kinds of savings can usually be replicated in other paper-intensive processes, yielding BOTH bottom line AND green benefits.

Email Management - Archiving. Security. eDiscovery.
Email is the de facto standard for business communication across organizations at this time.

Without the management of emails, it is difficult for organizations to meet their legal preservation requirements in the event of litigation and government investigations, increasing the effort and cost in responding to e-discovery and disclosure.
