Proofpoint widens access to email archives

November 26, 2008: Proofpoint has extended the reach of its Email Archiving product to Outlook Web Access, so messages and attachments that have been archived can be recovered from anywhere on the Web.

"Just recently, Forrester Research reported that mobile workers will make up 73 percent of the workforce by 2012,” said Andres Kohn, vice president of technology for Proofpoint

“Many of these employees will access corporate email while away from the office and companies must be prepared to manage archiving demands accordingly. When urgent issues arise, such as time-sensitive e-discovery and regulatory compliance issues, employees will need instant access to email archives in order to meet those deadlines.”

The Outlook Web Access integration also provides access to email messages that have stubbed attachments. This optional service from Proofpoint allows for the removal of large attachments from Exchange while still keeping them accessible on the road via Outlook Web Access.

Proofpoint Email Archiving is a SaaS hybrid email archiving solution designed for organisations running Exchange 2000, 2003 or 2007 with Active Directory Server.
