Today most people simply assume others have email. They send pictures of loved ones to family members and friends. Pictures of team parties and the corporate get togethers to colleagues and the fax machines are used as by many only when there are no alternative methods of sending a communication. More and more however faxes themselves are being scanned in as pdf files and then retransmitted as email attachments. With all these files flying around through email it is no wonder that the amount of email data just continues to grow. We’ve recognized that there is a clear need for efficient email attachment management and encourage you to download our Free Attachment Analyzer to see how much more efficient MADSolutions Email Management Server can make your company.
So what does a company do? Email data in itself is problematic in terms of records management, compliance, legal liability, archiving etc… To make matters worse, often fifty (50) percent or more of the email communications is not important even to maintain but yet it is kept along with all other email. Email solutions seem to have come out of the wood work since the late 1990’s but the philosophy behind most of these solutions has been to take email data and simply store it elsewhere. A good analogy for this is taking your old clothes and pushing them to the back of the closet…but what happens when your closet is full?
The solutions to this problem are far and few between. The idea of “Email Management” involves “effort” and for more businesses or corporations the amount of “effort” required to manage this surplus of data simply cuts into the bottom-line and reduces productivity. The real question then becomes…how long can we continue with the rate of email data growth before the closets are all full and we all need a bigger house?
Exchange archiving solutions are a dime a dozen, but few companies have combined the best practices of email management to reduce Exchange database size like MADSolutions has.
