Each day, organizations face numerous and increasing challenges in areas of compliance audits, responding to pending lawsuits and court inquiries, dealing with continuity in business knowledge, wrestling with operations for employee turnover and downsizing, as well as adhering to data retention policies. Regulatory compliance and responding to electronic discovery requests are mandatory, yet often imprecise, and the question remains of how best to satisfy these requirements and minimize risk.
Meanwhile, IT organizations are being asked to contain, reduce, slice, and dice costs, while maintaining IT service levels for core applications such as email messaging. All of these painful challenges bring significant costs and risks to the organization, placing even more demand on email administrators' limited time and their ability to service end users' needs.
