New Forrester Wave for Message Archiving Software, Q1 2008

Forrester released a few days ago their latest Forrester Wave for message archiving software, and they report that organizations are implementing these solutions to reduce their storage costs, improved mailbox management with easy access to messages, and lower cost of eDiscovery. You have a lot of choices for choosing your message archiving software; pure plays like ZANTAZ, Mimosa Systems and ZipLip; ECM suite providers like EMC Documentum, IBM FileNet and OpenText; storage management and search vendors such as CA, EMC, HP and IBM. Vendors like Symantec also provide message archiving solutions in combination with other products, and vendors like Autonomy ZANTAZ offer message archiving solutions integrated with their enterprise search and text analytics offering. The report is available for free courtesy of ZANTAZ.

And remember to check out AIIM’s new Email Management training program before implementing any of these solutions. The training program is designed from global best practices among AIIM's 50,000 members, and it covers best practices and technologies for:

• Email capture and retention
• Technologies for email management
• Email storage, archiving and backup
• Email classification
• Developing, implementing, and managing the email policy
• Governance
