The flow of email in most companies is constantly increasing—the average corporate email user sends and receives 167 messages per day. To comply with regulatory requirements, a company must give employees constant access to their email accounts and retain copies of every important email, which makes managing email more difficult than ever.

Since email contains so much valuable information, many employees are reluctant to delete old messages. They create their own “personal email filing cabinets” using Personal Storage Table (PST) files. Since these files are stored on users’ work stations rather than on a centralized server, they present difficult management challenges and business risks.

For example, with PST files stored on many computers throughout a company, searching for and retrieving important information can be very difficult. PST files can have a huge impact on a company’s storage and back-up requirements; they’re susceptible to loss and corruption of data; and they can increase the cost and effort of discovery in the event of litigation.

Most companies impose quotas that limit the amount of storage each employee can use for emails. Without these quotas, server disk drives would overflow and email systems would crash. As email volumes rapidly grow, a hosted archiving solution can solve a number of problems, including controlling and managing the steady growth of email messages; helping to guard against data loss; and enabling organizations to comply with document-retention regulations.
