MESSAGE ARCHIVE

With electronic messaging as a core component of corporate operations, retaining and having ready access to historical messages is a high priority. When disaster strikes your email infrastructure, interruption to email access can be costly and even pose unique legal liabilities if emails are lost. Regulations such as SEC Rule 17a-4, NASD 3010, Sarbanes-Oxley, and HIPAA impose a variety of message retention and supervisory requirements on businesses. Those regulations plus the potential burden of legal discovery require enterprises to create email and IM retention policies that mitigate risk and meet regulatory compliance standards.

HOW IT WORKS
Message Archive helps enterprises not only preserve the productivity and benefits of electronic communication, but it also complies with the regulatory and legal demands placed upon businesses and their communication systems. The service intercepts and makes copies of inbound, outbound, and internal email, as well as IM and other communications, such as Bloomberg mail, and stores those message copies in a secure, tamperproof archive. Comprehensive message indexing allows users to search stored messages by header, subject line, and body contents, including attachments. If a business' primary mail environment is down, Message Archive continues to copy messages to the archive and queues the original message for delivery once the primary email environment is restored.

The archive can be accessed by email administrators and end users 24/7 whether or not the primary email environment is available. Users access stored messages through an intuitive, Web-based interface that ensures continuous access to all email functionality even when the primary email environment is unavailable. The interface provides tools that let users compose, read, and reply to email, as well as search for and recover lost messages. It even provides compliance workflow tools for supervising and monitoring electronic communications.
