Case Studies and White Papers

  • You've got e-mail under control, right? What if you could reduce cost and risk, optimize storage, and make electronic discovery or audits easier, all while minimizing the impact on users? Find out why you need to take another look at e-mail management, and the impact it can have across your organization.

  • Governing electronic content archives is a significant challenge for any organization. Data volumes are exploding, mobile and social computing are pervasive, and companies are moving to the cloud in droves. These factors are driving a shift from traditional, tactical, and legacy systems to new approaches capable of forming an intelligent understanding of all types of content. Read how organizations are replacing email-focused archives with a new breed of archive that can understand and govern all the latest forms of human-friendly information.

  • Over the past decade, requirements to comply with regulations, mitigate legal risk, and improve operational efficiency have driven tens of thousands of organizations to deploy archiving solutions for Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, and other messaging systems. Although this is a mature market supported by a broad array of vendors, solution satisfaction rates lag, and enterprises report significant frustration with policy development, integrating with eDiscovery processes, and system shortcomings.

  • Use this calculator to see how your organization can identify and analyze current costs of managing email, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an email management solution, the benefits of managing email more efficiently, and get a detailed return on investment analysis.

  • Archiving is the most versatile of email-related technologies because it impacts virtually every user in an organization: IT staff that must manage the archiving platform, legal counsel that must use it in support of e-discovery and other litigation-related activities, senior managers that may want to perform early case assessment reviews, and end users that will interface with the archiving system to recover missing or deleted emails.

  • Storage cost, e-discovery and compliance issues, met in part by archiving products, have spread beyond e-mail to encompass other data types. In this report, Gartner evaluates vendors offering enterprise information archiving products that provide management of e-mail and files.

  • Every business struggles with the volume of email that flows through their organization on a daily basis. Managing correspondence related to business activities has become an increasing challenge. Professionals do not have the time or the luxury to file emails diligently, yet the failure to do so leaves the firm at risk of lost information, regulatory noncompliance, and e-discovery challenges.

  • Managing a system of hard-copy email correspondence as well as a system of digital correspondence is a logistical ordeal: expensive, time-consuming and subject to human error all at once. Not only do you need to move messages from an email system to long-term storage, you also need to manage boxes of files all the way to the warehouse. Find out how a collaborative email management solution can ensure efficient email control and data accessibility.
