KVS to keep RTA's email motoring along nicely
Content archiving and email management company KVS has secured a deal with the New South Wales Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA), which will deploy KVS' Enterprise Vault content archiving system to index, manage, archive and retrieve its corporate emails during the RTA’s migration from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 to Microsoft Exchange 2003.
The system will be deployed to 3,500 users in the preliminary stages, with a view of extending this to 6,500 users as the migration progresses.
The RTA has more than 200 offices throughout NSW, including 130 Motor Registries that manage 4.2 million drivers and 4.5 million vehicles in NSW.
“The nature of the RTA’s business means we regularly send and receive important email containing sensitive and private information,” said Greg Carvouni, CIO for the RTA. “We were looking for an effective storage solution that we could centrally deploy across the organisation for the archiving of our legacy email. This in turn is hoped will help speed up the IT migration by as much as 80 percent.”
“In the short term, bringing Enterprise Vault into the migration process will decrease the migration time, maintain user access to legacy email throughout the process and bring in email management best practice from day one of the RTA’s migration,” said Bjorn Engelhardt, KVS regional director, Asia Pacific. “The email lifecycle can also be centrally managed by IT administration to meet the RTA’s legal requirements and corporate policy.”
“Once up and running, any email received or sent by the RTA will be vaulted,” added Carvouni. “Subject to privacy legislation, this provides a quick and easy process for the RTA’s auditors to access and check specific email information rather than having to conduct time consuming restores.”
