Why use email archiving as a service?

  • The amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) require organizations to respond more quickly than ever to discovery and internal investigation requests. IT departments must know what email is stored anywhere in the organization and how to retrieve it.
  • Fees for delayed responses to e-discovery requests are substantial-in one case, the U.S. District Court determined a fine of $50,000 per day1
  • Archiving as a service enables organizations of all sizes to meet compliance regulations and accelerate e-discovery requests without incurring the high expenses of on-premise deployment.
  • With no additional hardware or software to purchase and manage, organizations can benefit from low upfront costs, a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and simplified management.
  • Deployment is much more rapid than with an on-premise solution-days rather than weeks or months.

Key Features

Simplified Mailbox Management

Webroot Email Archiving Service provides seamless Microsoft Outlook integration and a familiar interface that mirrors Outlook's appearance, simplifying mailbox management and minimizing training. End-users can quickly and easily access email archives directly from Outlook, providing the ability to find specific messages and attachments based on a variety of criteria. Granular permissions enable administrators to centrally deploy access to some or all users. End-users also have the ability to access their personal archive via a secure, web-based portal providing archive access from any location.

Storage Management

With unlimited archive storage in the cloud, organizations can dramatically reduce storage costs and eliminate the need for mailbox quotas. Webroot Email Archiving Service automatically captures all sent and received messages without requiring any user intervention. Organizations can eliminate user PST files-which not only minimizes the management burden on IT staff, but also improves server performance by reducing PST file footprint and shrinking backup windows.

Email Discovery

Ensure that your organization is prepared for any e-discovery request by storing and indexing every email, IM and attachment in one centralized online repository. Real-time search and retrieval capabilities accelerate legal discovery and HR inquiries by providing quick access to archived data, significantly reducing the time and expense associated with e-discovery requests. To protect sensitive communications, users can flag attorney-client privileged communications, which are excluded from e-discovery requests.

Email Compliance

Meet compliance regulations by automatically retaining all emails and attachments. Webroot Email Archiving Service provides the capability to index, search and audit all email and attachments so that organizations can quickly respond to regulatory requests. Administrators can set retention policies to meet their company's specific retention or regulatory requirements, and automatically monitor and review email and attachments to ensure policy compliance.

Protection of Company Data

Webroot Email Archiving Service protects sensitive corporate information with the industry's highest standards for secure data storage. All email messages and attachments are securely transmitted via TLS or SSL encryption, then captured and encrypted automatically to guarantee the security of your archived data. Messages are also replicated across geographically dispersed data centers for enhanced protection.
