The Electronic Communications and Transactions (ECT) Act stipulates that South African companies need to have systems in place that manage the way in which their electronic documents are archived.
Independent IT solutions provider First Technology has the right solution: KVS Enterprise Vault. This ensures that businesses using Microsoft Exchange are aligned with the necessary regulatory requirements.
"To ensure the successful archiving and retrieval of e-mail data, we integrate KVS Enterprise Vault archiving software with Microsoft Exchange, which optimises the use of storage, simplifies the management of data and enables discovery of content within business-critical collaboration systems," says Clark Coetzee, head of First Technology`s software division. First Technology is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Advanced Infrastructure Solutions.
According to Coetzee, KVS Enterprise Vault e-mail archiving software allows organisations to streamline and reduce the ongoing cost of information storage for the enterprise and simultaneously keep it instantly accessible to users.
It is the most comprehensive e-mail lifecycle management solution as it offers a total archiving framework for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint Portal Server, Office System 2003, Instant Messaging and file server environments.
"KVS add-on solutions - Enterprise Vault Compliance Accelerator and Discovery Accelerator - enable organisations to comply with e-mail and content retention requirements set by industry and government regulations," he adds.
Coetzee says that by successfully enforcing e-mail archiving and retrieval, the Enterprise Vault solution improves network efficiency and productivity.
"We have found that the local market has invested in the required technology, but many corporates are not sure how to deploy it. We firmly believe that once they see the benefits of the KVS solution - enhanced with SharePoint Portal Server and Fenestrae Faxination Server as a powerful messaging platform - they will soon see a return on investment (ROI) and their next step will be to implement the solution," he concludes.
