Reducing Business Risk Through Cost-Effective E-Mail Management - Introducing the Sybase Retention Server

Organisations are facing increasing risk because they cannot control what their employees do with e-mails. When asked to provide e-mail records by a regulator they incur considerable cost and often fail, sometimes facing fines and litigation.

Currently e-mail systems are based on legacy technology and, according to analysts, can cost over $2,000 per user, per year to maintain. Yet, despite these high costs, accurate records are not kept, backups take days to run, and information is lost.

There is an effective solution. The e-mail module of the Sybase Retention Server:

• Eliminates the risks associated with not being able to produce e-mails on demand
• Enables full compliance with regulatory demands for records management
• Allows the systematic removal of old data
• Significantly reduces the cost of running e-mail

This document describes how an organisation can reduce the risks and costs associated with managing e-mail systems by deploying the Sybase Retention Server.
