A growing risk in litigation, it is more important than ever that corporations understand what their email says and where it is stored. According to Kevin Crane author of Designing a Document Strategy, as email becomes the predominant mode of business communication, risk associated with exposure of corporate and employee behavior, and theft of proprietary information will increase greatly. Access to email and awareness of usage is paramount.  However, research reveals that e-mail administrators require an average of 1.8 hours to recover a message if it is recent, and 11.2 hours to recover if it is over a year old.

Symantec Enterprise Vault as an email archiving solution overrides this time-consuming collection process.  It provides companies with visibility into the discovery and management of their electronic data by compressing, indexing and deduplicating electronic data. It is capable of reducing corporate cost and storage space by up to 60-percent.
