EMC Launches Enterprise Email Archiving Software

April 4th, 2006: Builds on SAP Documentum Archive Services. Promises to deliver unified email archiving from top to bottom.

EMC Documentum Archive Services for Email and EMC Documentum Archive Services for Reports software provide what the company maintains is the 'world's first enterprise-class e-mail and reports archiving software products based on a unified archiving platform'.

This will 'Enable customers to employ a common set of services for collecting, retaining, migrating, securing and discovering all types of information. As a result, customers will be better equipped to search and retrieve information for compliance and legal discovery, content re-use, improved decision-making and improving the cost and operational efficiencies of their archiving applications.'

High up on the list of priorities in the private and public sectors is the management of email. Recent legal cases have highlighted the necessity of good email management, so EMC's claims for its new services will surely spark great interest.

The US-based company - which has a healthy profile in the Asia Pacific - says that its software, "…captures and archives all incoming and outgoing email messages to ensure compliance with regulations and internal email policies. Enhanced compliance capabilities enable customers to validate email compliance to regulators and the courts. In the event of litigation, investigators can search the archive and deliver high volumes of messages quickly, accurately and with assurance that the chain of custody is intact.

Together, Archive Services for Email and EMC EmailXtender comprise EMC's complementary set of e-mail archiving software. Archive Services for Email suits customers needing to archive e-mail and other content types, while also gaining the benefits of a unified archiving platform."
