Hosted Cloud-Based Email Management, Offered by Mimecast

"The Mimecast email management specialist delivering SaaS email archiving, continuity, security and control, has made a significant upgrade to its flagship Unified Email Management platform.

With the launch of new functionality to expand the scope of its cloud-based services. The new offering provides the advanced features and capabilities of on-premise email solutions in the flexible, cost-effective SaaS delivery model.

The new functionality helps businesses address increasing industry regulations and concerns around data retention and e-Discovery. The company's archiving, mailbox management and data protection features allow companies to control their inboxes while preventing data leaks.
Nancy Stagg, Principal at Fish and Richardson explained, ''E-discovery and document retention requirements, combined with increasing volume, make email management difficult for legal practitioners and their IT staffs. Law firms and corporate law departments must contend with many related compliance issues, including the storage of email evidence, review of large user personal storage files (PST), documenting email keyword search queries and maintaining and authenticating proper chain of custody."

"Barely 20 percent of records management decision makers report they are "very confident" that, if challenged, their organisation could demonstrate their electronically stored information (ESI) is accurate, accessible, and trustworthy.

Effective records and retention management programs play a big role in mitigating legal risk caused by more regulations and legal discovery of ESI.

In 2010, more than half of records management (RM) stakeholders expect to expand their technology deployments. Yet stakeholders also describe a changing and complex market, including vendor and budget uncertainty, low satisfaction with current solutions, plans to expand content types under retention management, new certifications, e-discovery concerns, and internal organizational changes."
