Live Webcast: Essential Archive Requirements for E-Discovery
Corporate lawsuits are inevitable. When companies are sued, electronic data, and especially email is the first target of legal discovery. With increases in lawsuit frequency and the volume of electronic data, e-Discovery search is becoming a critical capability and potential liability for most organizations. The savings from one major lawsuit can fund an email archiving initiative and provide a competitive legal advantage. With the average billion-dollar company facing more than 50 new lawsuits each year, companies are seeking the cost benefits of centralized email archives and are rapidly adopting them. Join Dell MessageOne™ and TechRepublic for this live Webcast to explore the best practice approaches to quickly and effectively respond to a litigation event and how to realize associated time and cost efficiencies from building out repeatable technical processes: Implement granular retention policies that provide for varied retention periods and complicated retention requirements across an organization. Apply one button legal holds to any part of an organization. Centralize and reduce storage costs typically associated with archiving through implementing a "Store Once, Use Everywhere" technology. Facilitate legal discovery workflow with capabilities to search and retrieve millions of email messages in seconds. Register today

Why Your Organization Needs to Focus on Outbound Content - An Osterman Resear...
For the most part, organizations in North America have almost universally deployed systems that protect against inbound threats, such as viruses, worms and spam. Far fewer organizations have deployed systems that monitor outbound content. However, the increase of messaging, coupled with the increase in the sharing of sensitive information online, makes the monitoring and management of outbound content increasingly important. This Osterman Research white paper focuses on the need to monitor and manage outbound content, discusses key drivers that are making it necessary and outlines the steps that an organization should take to mitigate the risks it faces from employee use of communication tools.
Delivering Secure Messaging Services for Enterprise Process and Collaboration
Enterprise messaging is often delivered internally, through servers set up and administered by internal IT professionals. While this provides the means to accept, route, and deliver e-mail throughout the enterprise, its administrative burden often prevents its use in implementing innovative solutions to messaging problems. Find out how this burden can be alleviated with this free paper. You'll learn about delivering messaging services from the "cloud," and how doing so allows better control over messaging between business partners within and outside of the enterprise. You'll get an inside look at how using messaging as a service can help to automate business processes and workflow automation. You'll also learn about how messaging services provide better reliability and scalability than is usually possible with an internally-administered messaging system.

Midsize companies--firms that are neither small businesses nor in the Fortune 5000--are under increasing pressure to sharpen their business processes in light of globalization and changing economic conditions. In over 800 interviews with midsize companies, IDC has found that while their needs are complex and varied, they share a common interest in using advanced technology solutions similar to those deployed by larger enterprises, but they face the constraints of limited IT budgets and resources. Working to close the need versus resources gap are technology suppliers that bring end-to-end solutions to the table, along with their channel partners who play a key role designing and implementing solutions to meet specific customer objectives.
