Security and Compliance for Enterprise Messaging
Total control of your corporate intelligence is what every enterprise is faced with today. Unquestionably, e-mail and IM have become critical tools for efficient business communications. However, today's enterprises face huge challenges with overtaxed email and file servers, data corruption, expensive infrastructure overhead and administration, exposure to corporate compliance risks and costly electronic discoveries.We offer email and IM archiving solutions to reduce hardware acquisition costs, simplify system administration, increase end-user productivity, and enable enterprises to manage the business risk with legal and regulatory compliance.
The ability to exchange, store, and retrieve vast quantities of messages also creates a precarious liability with the management of sensitive or potentially harmful information. Enabling Technologies helps companies mitigate their exposure with email and instant message archival services, tailored to meet all regulatory compliance criteria without compromising performance.
