A live Webinar sponsored by Iron Mountain Digital

Date: September 16, 2010
Time: 1:00pm EDT / 10:00am PDT /1 8:00pm BST / 19:00 CET

Speakers:

  • Michael Osterman, Principal, Osterman Research, Inc.
  • Martin Tuip, Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager, Iron Mountain Digital

Exchange 2010 includes a number of new capabilities, including email archiving. Does that mean you don’t need third-party archiving solutions?

A new study by Osterman Research reveals that there are many unknowns and misconceptions when it comes to Exchange 2010 and archiving. While many organizations have already deployed 2010, they are still not familiar with Exchange 2010’s true capabilities, nor have they decided how best to handle archiving for legal, storage and compliance goals.

Many IT decision makers believe that the built-in archiving capabilities of Microsoft Exchange 2010 will meet all of their content archiving requirements. While Exchange 2010 archiving is a good start for many, most organizations will still require third-party archiving solutions.

Join Michael Osterman, president and founder of Osterman Research and Martin Tuip of Iron Mountain Digital, as they present results of a recent survey on Exchange 2010 deployments and attitudes on archiving, an overview of its archiving capabilities, and the case for third party archiving with Exchange 2010. You will come away with valuable information on how the Exchange 2010 archiving capabilities work and what a third-party archive can—and cannot—do for you.

In this 60-minute Webinar, you will discover:

  • What other organizations are experiencing with Exchange 2010 as they move forward with its deployment
  • Common archiving challenges organizations are facing with Exchange 2010
  • Why third-party archiving solutions will continue to be needed with Exchange 2010
  • What you should look for in an archiving solution
  • Best practices for controlling data storage, costs, and compliance risks

How to Justify Archiving to Decision Makers

A Live Webinar on Thursday, April 22, with Osterman Research, Mimosa Systems, an Iron Mountain company; Google and Mimecast

Archiving email and other electronic content is rapidly becoming a critical business necessity on a number of levels:

  • Organizations that do not archive their electronic content run the risk of data spoliation or running afoul of regulatory requirements to retain business records.
  • Responding to e-discovery or legal holds for data without an archiving system is very expensive and runs the risk of losing data.
  • Without archiving, storage costs for email and other electronic content are significantly higher than they have to be.
  • However, while many in IT are convinced of the benefits of archiving, many decision makers—those that will write the checks for archiving systems or services—are not.

Join us for a Webinar focused specifically on how to justify archiving to key decision makers in your company.

We will focus on the dollars and cents of lower storage costs, reduced risk and other benefits that organizations of any size can realize from archiving.

The New Role of Electronic Content: Why Archiving Is a Good Idea

A Live Webinar on Wednesday, April 21 with Osterman Research and Unify

Virtually all organizations store business records in email messages and in email attachments, on file servers, in document repositories like Microsoft SharePoint or Lotus Quickr, on individual desktop computers, on laptop computers, in CRM systems and in various application databases.

However, this information puts you at risk in a number of ways:

In short, the amount of electronic information—combined with the way you manage it—represents your organization’s level of risk.

Manage it well and your risk is minimized; manage it poorly and your risk is increased dramatically—maybe even to the level of threatening your ability to stay in business.

Join Michael Osterman, President of Osterman Research, and Matt Markham of Unify for a special live Osterman webinar focused on the new role of electronic content (ESI) and why archiving is more critical than ever.
