Colt Reseller of Sonian Cloud Email Solutions

Sonian Inc. has entered into a reseller agreement with Colt Technology Services Group Limited .

Colt will leverage its network of channel partners to offer Sonian’s  cost-data preservation and presentation platforms to its customers throughout Europe.

Sonian’s cloud reference architecture enables legal, IT, audit and line-of-business users in SMBs to search, analyze and manage the storage of millions of email communications (and more than 500 attachment types). Organizations can uncover actionable intelligence for more informed discovery, faster audit response, internal early case assessment, improved regulatory compliance and data management.

“Sonian continues to focus on channel growth, and the addition of Colt to our family of global partners is certainly gratifying,” said Jeff Dickerson, CEO, Sonian. “This partnership further validates our solution and our ability to seamlessly integrate with world-class resellers, in addition to presenting an unrivaled opportunity to expand our reach across Europe. We look forward to working with Colt and its many reseller partners to communicate the value of cloud archiving to more and more enterprises.“

Data preservation has long been a business concern, but the growing recognition that email embodies corporate intellectual property is driving many end users to ‘get beyond backup’ and create cloud repositories for all email communications and attachments.

These data stores can then be leveraged to provide business insight. In addition, email archiving can reduce messaging server workloads and eliminate the need to purchase additional storage hardware. As end users begin to avail themselves of their own archive, they can restore deleted or lost mail without assistance from IT, reducing support call volumes. Affordably-priced, based on fixed monthly per-mailbox costs, cloud archiving is gaining popularity among SMBs with few IT resources, as well as large global enterprises looking to secure their communications and limit liability and loss of intellectual property.
