Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise Server is now available in South Africa. GWAVA Retain is an official BlackBerry ISV (Independent Software Vendor) Alliance Partner Solution.
Corporate BlackBerry SmartPhone users today are exchanging information, business transactions, sales appointments and ultimately generating revenue.
With a global increase in compliance requirements and legislation, any publicly traded company's management is being made personally accountable for their company's actions, including the effectiveness of their internal auditing.
Problem
As SMS and PIN messages never pass through an e-mail system, they will NOT be archived by a company's e-mail archiving solution. However, with Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, not only will these messages be archived, but full audit compliance is no longer difficult or time-consuming.
To date, in order for an organisation using BlackBerry SmartPhones to be regulatory compliant, they have had to deactivate messaging capabilities that are unable to be archived such as SMS and PIN messages. Disabling this functionality had a negative impact in the usefulness of the BlackBerry solution and the investment the company had made.
This was because of the need to avoid data leakage, the illegal and unknowing transfer of information from an employee or partner to a third party. This information can be customer lists, patent disclosures, sales contracts or other confidential information.
Due to the volume of text messages, dependency on BlackBerry SmartPhones in many organisations and often lag time between phone cancellations after employment, vital information is often passed in text messages - putting your organisation at risk.
Retain For BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise Server ensures management is compliant with regulatory legislation by providing BlackBerry archiving and auditing capabilities for PIN/SMS text messages and phone usage data.
Your organisation can re-enable functionality to your BlackBerry SmartPhones that you previously had to disable; making your users more effective and staying compliant at the same time.
Organisations can now conduct confidential SMS, PIN and phone usage investigations while simultaneously reducing their legal liability with regard to the retention and alteration of electronic data.
Retain for BES from GWAVA is easy to install, server-based, requires no software on the BlackBerry SmartPhones and can scale to support tens of thousands of users. In addition, features have been added to enhance the experience for auditors and administrators. Some of this new functionality includes conversion of PIN messages, SMS text messages and phone usage data to individual pieces of e-mail that are archived in an organisation's e-mail archive repository; rights management; audit logging; and the ability to view specific messages and mark them as reviewed.
