Employees Still Enduring Mailbox Quotas and Manually Deleting Emails
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Thu, July 3rd, 2008
C2C survey shows
Among the survey findings:
- 65 percent of survey respondents contend with mailbox quotas and are forced to self-manage their email to stay operational.
- 66 percent take their own measures to save email messages in order to ensure they aren’t lost, with a majority storing email outside their company email system, in some cases even in personal/home email accounts.
- 67 percent need to search for an email that is more than three months old at least once a month, with 28 percent spending time searching about once a week or even daily.
The survey also found that those who self-manage email to stay within quotas frequently delete messages, delete attachments, and/or create a PST file – a method used in more than half of organizations surveyed. The over-reliance on PST files as a means to offload email creates several challenges when companies must meet legal requirements, since PST files do not have a uniform location and cannot be searched centrally for content with traditional technologies.
"eDiscovery is becoming much more important in the context of civil litigation," said Dave Hunt, CEO at C2C,“and companies that fail to produce emails in a timely manner risk paying millions of dollars in fines, not to mention loss of reputation and possibly revenue."
"An email data management solution relieves users of unproductive mailbox management chores and provides the eDiscovery capability critical to the long-term viability of any organization," said Hunt. "A solution that identifies unnecessary emails, handles attachments and provides automated quota management should be part of strategic ‘cradle to grave’ management of email. It isn’t a case of merely archiving email to reduce the live storage footprint, but part of a well thought out strategy that aids productivity and time management that can be implemented by an IT department simply and economically."
C2C’s email data management solution, Archive One, effectively helps organizations resolve email capacity management, enforce email retention policies and comply with regulatory requirements, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Freedom of Information Act and the latest Federal Rules of Civil Procedures, regarding the use, retention and discovery of email.
