A recently completed study, Messaging Archiving Trends 2007, by Osterman Research, revealed that two-thirds of organizations feel it is important be able to restore emails to meet legal discovery requests. Three out of five have an internal, email compliance policy that needs to be managed. Yet, four out of five organizations don't have an adequate archiving solution in place today.
Unless you're among the mere 20 percent of organizations that have already implemented a complete message archiving solution, you're probably struggling to balance budgetary and resource constraints with growing email volumes, increased regulatory requirements, and corporate ediscovery needs. Or perhaps you simply believe that your organization doesn't need to archive its email.
Whatever your reasons, you can't afford to defer email archiving forever.
During this live Ziff Davis eSeminar, we'll debunk several common misconceptions that are keeping many companies from actively tending to their message archiving and ediscovery needs.
Join us to learn why these myths simply aren't true:
- "We're not in a regulated industry, so we don't need to archive."
- "It's better to purge email frequently in order to eliminate 'smoking guns.' "
- "If we have a 90-day deletion policy, regulatory auditors and the courts will let us off the hook if we can't produce data."
- "Backups will suffice as our 'archive.' "
- "On-premise archiving systems are always cheaper than hosted/managed solutions."
This eSeminar will explore regulatory compliance and ediscovery issues as well as the latest trends in message archiving.
