Cost-effective e-mail archiving and mailbox management solution

London, UK, 22 Nov 2007

The new version of GFI MailArchiver for Exchange, an e-mail management and archiving solution, is being released today.

GFI MailArchiver 5 ships with auditing functionality that ensures all archived e-mails have not been tampered with, as well as a PST migration tool which provides access to old PST files on client machines.

GFI MailArchiver archives all company e-mail, reduces dependency on troublesome PST files, permits employees to access old and deleted e-mails at any time and from any location, and helps companies meet e-discovery and legal compliance requirements.

Companies` dependency on e-mail to do business is one of the main reasons for the huge growth experienced in the e-mail archiving market over the past two years.

According to Osterman Research, 75% of US companies are expected to be using some form of archiving solution by 2008, up from 20% in 2005, while analyst house Gartner forecasts the e-mail archiving market to grow to $921 million by 2010.

"The new version of GFI MailArchiver has been designed to meet the requirements of our clients and to strengthen our position in a market that is growing at a very fast pace, as more companies are seeing the importance of having an e-mail management and archiving solution. With over 10 000 satisfied customers, GFI MailArchiver is one of the leading e-mail archiving products on the market and ships at a price that is perfectly suited for SME budgets," David Vella, Director of Product Management at GFI, said.

The high dependency on e-mail in companies brings with it various problems. Storage, backups and problematic PST files are a few of the network administrator`s worries. Employees want access to their mail at any time and from any location, and the ability to retrieve e-mail they may have in old PST files. Management or the legal team, on the other hand, will require a secure store of all company e-mails for discovery and accountability purposes.

Company-wide benefits

Meeting all these requirements calls for a solution like GFI MailArchiver that is easy to install, requires very little administrative effort, offers excellent price performance and benefits that can be seen at all levels in the company.

Using GFI MailArchiver, network administrators avoid the pains of PST file management because it reduces the company`s dependency on these files. Since all e-mail is stored in a central location that is easily accessible using a Web browser, PST issues are greatly reduced. Furthermore, GFI MailArchiver`s new PST migration tool ensures access to e-mails stored in old PST files on users` machines. GFI MailArchiver also natively integrates with Microsoft Exchange 2007 and supports 64-bit Microsoft operating systems (OS).

From an end-user perspective, one can access all their e-mail from anywhere in the world using a Web browser, retrieve old and deleted e-mails on demand - with full thread and conversation - and use advanced e-mail search and `Saved Search` capabilities.

E-discovery, compliance

From a management point of view, they will have a complete and secure archive of all their company`s e-mail as well as access, if required, to individual mailboxes for discovery and compliance purposes, internal inquiries or employee monitoring.

Furthermore, GFI MailArchiver provides quick access to documentation that may be needed to safeguard the company in customer lawsuits. In the event of a lawsuit, the new auditing functionality guarantees that stored e-mails are genuine and have not been tampered with at any stage.
