Email is now the standard means for most corporate communication. But along with the many benefits this medium brings, come risks and regulatory controls which apply to all organisations regardless of their size, including for example the mandatory retention of sensitive data.

Because the use of e-mail now covers such areas as contract negotiations, business correspondence and transactions, email must be regarded as any other document of record. Care must be taken to ensure you manage and retain email as you would any contract or business correspondence.

With ever increasing compliance pressures from regulatory bodies and governments and a growing litigation culture, the need to implement an effective archiving strategy is now a must for any organizations. Furthermore the legal responsibility for ensuring compliance falls solely on the executive officers of the company.

Other than the retention of emails for compliance and audit purposes, organisations face further challenges such as escalating storage costs and the management and protection of intellectual assets, the management of e-mail quotas and the migration and management of locally stored e-mails (e.g. PST files in Microsoft Exchange systems).

With this explosion of email use and its' forecasted growth rates, organisations need to understand UK and European legislation with regard to e-communications to ensure compliance and best practice.

Jcom can help you understand the legal requirements and advise, implement and support e-mail archiving and management solution that will ensure compliance, manage email growth and optimize the backup / recovery cycle of your email data.
