cBrain Updates Email Management

January 9th, 2007: Responding to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure changes in the US, cBrain has updated its email management system to increase compliance and address the “kitchen sink” approach to email archiving.

cBrains solution has been updated to work with Microsoft Exchange/Outlook and Lotus NOTES and to offer greater search and retrieval powers combined with policy-based archiving.

While the new laws are only applicable in the US, Australian companies doing business there can also be subject them so having an effective document and email management system in place is imperative.

The solution comprises of a central document management system archive with real-time working access according to company policy. cBrain says that all documents, including emails and attachments will be indexed to provide for search capabilities on words and phrases and can be archived to groups of users with a policy-based approach using rules setup and content-filtering.

“One of the key compliance beasts to get under control is the e-mail chaos,” said the company in a statement. “The solution must be intuitive and an integral part of revamped business processes in order for employees to adhere to it. The kitchen sink approach to e-mail archiving will not work.

“E-mails like other documents such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc. must be managed and archived in the context of the business process to which they belong.”
