Email Archiving & Records Mgmt White Paper


Ferris Research

As email usage continues to grow in volume and importance, users are building large message repositories. These repositories contain a lot of valuable information that is important to both the individual and the organization as a whole. As a result, email archiving technology is evolving to help manage message stores.
Email archiving can be compared to an established discipline, that of records management.
