Hastings Mutual Insurance Selects C2C ArchiveOne

C2C announced Hastings Mutual Insurance Company, a US regional insurance company serving six Midwestern states, has selected C2C ArchiveOne for capacity, compliance, eDiscovery and policy-based retention management of email and messaging data for its 430 employees.

 
Hastings Mutual’s philosophy of conservative financial management has helped the company survive and grow through wars, recessions, and financial crises. Its cautious approach extends to its implementation of technologies like ArchiveOne that reduce risk and provide regulatory mandated retention of electronically stored information, while delivering a low cost of ownership and good return on investment.
 
"The installation has been successful and practically transparent to our employees," said Paul I. Ayoub, VP & Chief Information Officer. "We validated C2C’s promise of ‘zero user training’ required, which was appreciated since any new implementation can be challenging, especially when there are remote users. In the time we’ve been using ArchiveOne we’ve noticed improved performance, better capacity usage, and improved backup windows on primary storage devices."
 
Hastings Mutual also uses ArchiveOne’s enhanced PST processing system and automated rules-driven archiving to provide more control over PST folders and implement email retention policies. ArchiveOne’s information search and retrieval methodologies also will support eDiscovery requirements for legal cases.
 
"The regulatory mandated need to retain electronically stored information must be balanced with accessibility and instant retrievability, particularly in midsized companies where IT staffs are already spread very thin," said Dave Hunt, CEO at C2C. "In the insurance industry, it’s not wise to take any chances. We’re pleased that ArchiveOne will help Hastings Mutual reduce risk and minimize any potential compliance issues."
