Shreveport, La. – Feb. 1, 2012 – ArcMail Technology, Inc. today announced it has been recognized as an innovator in Info-Tech Research Group’s "Email Archiving Vendor Landscape” report. As one of only two email archiving vendors to receive this accolade, ArcMail also earned high marks for the usability, affordability and architecture of its products as well as its overall strategy and channel program.

Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscape reports recognize outstanding vendors in the technology marketplace.  Assessing vendors by the strength of their offering and their strategy for the enterprise, Info-Tech Research Group Vendor Landscapes pay tribute to the contribution of exceptional vendors in a particular category.

The key takeaway from this report is the importance of preserving email history and the risks and consequences that organizations face if they don’t have the right technology in place. The report stated, “Organizations seeking a cost-effective solution that integrates with all major email platforms should look towards ArcMail Defender, an appliance platform that is quick and easy to deploy.”

According to the IT analyst firm, adoption of email archiving is increasing at a rapid pace: 58 percent of organizations surveyed currently already have an email archiving solution in place, while another 27 percent are planning to deploy within the next 18 months.

"The Vendor Landscape report highlights several important trends including the shift toward demand for email archiving solutions being driven primarily as a means to meet regulatory compliance needs and save the IT department time and grief," noted Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. "ArcMail remains dedicated to meeting and exceeding our customers’ email compliance, data protection and rapid-fire information retrieval needs, and we’re very pleased to receive this recognition, particularly in the area of innovation, which continues to be an ArcMail competitive advantage.”

ArcMail has staked a leadership claim in the information archiving market by launching a series of innovative products over the past year including an archiving appliance for Salesforce.com™ Chatter™, the real-time enterprise collaboration platform; ArcMail Guardian, an email archiving solution for Google Apps™ email; and ArcMail for Instant Messaging, a new IM archiving appliance that works with all the most popular IM platforms including Yahoo!^®, AOL Instant Messenger^® (AIM) and MSN^®.

In November 2011, the company introduced the ArcMail Defender Cloud Storage Gateway, a new breed of gateway technology that enables businesses to designate the files they want securely available at their fingertips at breakneck speeds, while also taking advantage of the datacenter cost savings that cloud storage allows.

Shreveport, La. – Jan. 17, 2012 – Seeking to expand its social media presence while underscoring its enterprise information archiving value proposition, ArcMail Technology, Inc. today announced a new Twitter contest called “Get It Faster.”

In January, the company launched the first “Get It Faster” contest in a series of competitions that ArcMail will run throughout the year – each boasting a different theme and prizes that are defined by those who enter. Each “Get It Faster” contest begins on the first day of the month and extends through the last day of that month, with the January contest now underway and the February contest slated to begin soon.

The current contest theme revolves around New Year's resolutions.

According to Linda Hartman, Vice President of Marketing for ArcMail, the contests align with the company’s core brand messaging, which is to help its business customers find archived files and attachments in seconds. Correspondingly, the “Get It Faster” contests help ArcMail followers find the prizes they want quickly.

“What makes ‘Get It Faster’ stand out is its creativity and simple reinforcement of ArcMail's brand messaging, and the different theme each month keeps participants engaged and coming back for more. It makes seemingly square technology more fun and engaging to a social audience,” said Hartman.

The target markets for the contests are broad and include ArcMail customers and resellers; all IT professionals in enterprise, government, finance and other regulated industries in need of archiving for compliance management; as well as industry-relevant professionals and influencers who are active on Twitter.

Winners will be announced on ArcMail's blog and Twitter page immediately after each contest ends. The January winner will be revealed on February 1.

Research Indicates That Financial Services Firms of All Sizes Are Vulnerable to Fines and Other Sanctions for Inadequate Recordkeeping

Shreveport, La. – Dec. 20, 2011 – Building on the success of its archiving solutions in the financial services sector, ArcMail Technology, Inc. today announced a new research report called “The Critical Importance of Archiving in the Financial Services Industry.”

Researched and written by industry expert Michael Osterman, president and CEO of Osterman Research, the report is being offered at no cost to those who register online to receive archiving whitepapers from ArcMail. It is filled with valuable takeaways for financial services firms as well as organizations in other markets, and provides three key steps that businesses can take to address compliance and retention obligations:

1) Every company, regardless of its size, must develop policies focused on the retention of its business records.

2) It is critical to deploy archiving technology that can satisfy content retention policies for email messages and their attachments, as well as potentially other types of content such as files, social media posts, instant messaging conversations and other data.

3) Choose an archiving system that can integrate with and satisfy other organizational requirements, such as making content available in a format that will satisfy regulators, external legal counsel and others.

Fines Exacted on Companies Failing to Retain Emails

The report comes on the heels of news earlier this month that a unit of Citigroup agreed to a $750,000 civil fine for not retaining millions of emails as required by securities industry rules, according to a settlement with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

“Financial services firms that do not comply with the various federal and state requirements for content preservation can face serious consequences,” says Osterman. “And while most fines have focused on larger institutions, there are growing indications that smaller banks, credit unions, broker-dealers and others are just as vulnerable to fines and other sanctions for inadequate recordkeeping.”

The research concludes that archiving and retention for financial services organizations is of critical importance. Financial services firms must be vigilant to maintain adequate corporate governance practices and technologies in the context of records retention, adds Osterman.

ArcMail’s Universal Archiving Strategy Supports Financial Service Industry Requirements, Demonstrates Industry Leadership

The question facing financial services firms today is no longer whether to retain data, but how much to retain and how to go about getting the job done right, says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail.

“Given the likelihood that retention obligations will become more stringent in the future, ArcMail is building upon its market leadership with universal archiving solutions that securely and cost-effectively address a full spectrum of compliance and data retention requirements,” says Welch. “At the same time, our solutions take into account the many new communication and messaging technologies that have emerged – from social media conversations to instant messaging and more – to ensure that a comprehensive range of data types are supported for our customers.”

ArcMail has launched a string of innovative products this year including an archiving appliance for Salesforce.com™ Chatter™, the real-time enterprise collaboration platform; ArcMail Guardian, an email archiving solution for Google Apps™ email; and ArcMail for Instant Messaging, a new IM archiving appliance that works with all the most popular IM platforms including Yahoo!^®, AOL Instant Messenger^® (AIM) and MSN^®.

Last month, the company introduced the ArcMail Defender Cloud Storage Gateway, a new breed of gateway technology that enables businesses to designate the files they want securely available at their fingertips at breakneck speeds, while also taking advantage of the datacenter cost savings that cloud storage allows.

Leverages Existing Storage Infrastructures, Stores Source Files in Customer-Specified Locations Including Local SAN, Remote Data Centers, Private and Public Clouds

SHREVEPORT, La., Nov. 30., 2011 – ArcMail Technology, Inc. today announced the ArcMail Defender Cloud Storage Gateway, a new breed of gateway technology that combines unparalleled storage platform flexibility with instant search and retrieval and datacenter cost savings to give businesses an innovative, secure way to optimize their overall communications and data archiving initiatives.

Now available, the Defender Cloud Storage Gateway leverages an organization’s existing storage infrastructure to provide both cost savings and convenience. It indexes and stores up to 8TB of search data locally to deliver the industry’s fastest search and retrieval speeds. The remainder is stored as original source files on one or more remote storage platforms of the customer’s choosing – still easily searchable and within reach – giving them the opportunity to meet their specific requirements for scalability, security and vendor choice. ArcMail utilizes encryption on the source data to ensure highly secure remote storage.

This customer-configurable “near store” and “far store” approach allows IT departments to designate parameters for the files they want securely available at their fingertips at breakneck speeds, while also taking advantage of the datacenter cost savings that cloud storage allows.

The Defender Cloud Storage Gateway works with storage area networks (SAN), file systems and popular platforms such as Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, Windows^® Azure, OpenStack™ and PostgreSQL^®. Users can selectively search any combination of content types via the device including server-based email; hosted email such as Google Apps™, LiveOffice™ and Microsoft^® Office 365; Salesforce.com™ Chatter; instant messages; Adobe^® PDF files; and web pages.

Access to this complete spectrum of data across multiple storage platforms is available via a single easy-to-use ArcMail interface, making data discovery both simple and efficient for busy IT administrators, chief legal officers and other users.

“CIOs today often rely upon a number of storage platforms, but until now, an easy-to-deploy centralized archiving solution that supports all of them while also delivering instant search capabilities across a full range of content types has simply not been available,” said Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. “Especially as cloud storage use grows and data security risks increase, a heightened need exists for organizations to properly address data discovery and protection issues.”

With the Defender Cloud Storage Gateway, document files are automatically indexed and the resulting metadata and full text data is securely stored on the device behind the corporate firewall.

Adds Welch, “Not having immediate access to sensitive data – no matter where it resides – can be potentially damaging or costly. Yet many organizations today have failed to deploy effective archiving and retrieval solutions that take into account the entire scope of their storage initiatives.”

ArcMail Lets Customers Avoid Vendor Lock-In

The Defender Cloud Storage Gateway is designed to bring increased flexibility to enterprise information archiving. A key advantage of the solution is that archived source documents may be moved from one location to another as necessary to let customers take advantage of emerging technologies and to avoid vendor lock-in.

Universal Archiving Strategy Demonstrates Industry Leadership

The Defender Cloud Storage Gateway represents yet another step in ArcMail’s strategy to demonstrate market leadership through delivery of universal archiving solutions.  ArcMail has launched a string of innovative products this year including an archiving appliance for Salesforce.com Chatter, the real-time enterprise collaboration platform; ArcMail Guardian, an email archiving solution for Google Apps email; and ArcMail for Instant Messaging, a new IM archiving appliance that works with all the most popular IM platforms including Yahoo!^®, AOL Instant Messenger^® (AIM) and MSN^®.

The Defender Cloud Storage Gateway is now available for order through ArcMail resellers across North America. For more information, visit www.arcmail.com.

ArcMail’s New Archiving Solution Stores and Instantly Retrieves Yahoo!^®, AIM^®, MSN^® and Other Instant Messaging Data, Combines with Email Archiving to Provide Centralized Archiving Services

SHREVEPORT, La., Oct. 12, 2011 – Instant messaging (IM) solutions bring the benefits of rapid-fire communications, increased productivity and ease of collaboration to today’s organizations, but they can also deliver harmful business setbacks if proper measures are not put in place to safeguard and easily retrieve the critical corporate data that they generate over time.

As a provider of universal archiving solutions that address multiple business issues, ArcMail Technology, Inc. is focused on delivering new levels of compliance, data discovery and liability protection to the thousands of organizations that rely upon instant messaging. The company today announced ArcMail for Instant Messaging, a new IM archiving appliance that works with all the most popular IM platforms including Yahoo!, AOL Instant Messenger^® (AIM) and MSN.

“Instant messaging is clearly valued by businesses of all sizes today,” said Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. “But the proliferation of this communication medium also comes with an increased need to properly address regulatory compliance, e-discovery and liability protection issues. Not having access to this sensitive data over time can be potentially damaging or costly, yet many organizations today have failed to deploy effective archiving and retrieval solutions.”

ArcMail for Instant Messaging is specifically designed to encode, index and archive all instant messaging conversations. Archived conversations can be searched, located and retrieved in seconds. The solution works in conjunction with Defender, ArcMail ‘s award-winning email archiving appliance, to securely store all incoming and outgoing instant messaging and email data – including all associated links, files and attachments – in a single, centralized location. Access to that data is then available via a single easy-to-use interface, making data discovery both simple and efficient for busy IT administrators, chief legal officers and other users.

"Archiving instant messaging conversations is absolutely vital for any organization given the large proportion of content that flows through IM systems, and the legal and regulatory requirements to preserve business records in these communications," said Michael Osterman, principal at Osterman Research.  "Organizations of any size and in any industry should archive their IM conversations just as they should email and other content."

Adds Welch, “We’re pleased to build upon our industry leadership by addressing the data protection demands of the industry’s most popular communication platforms. Since many instant messaging solutions do not offer their own long-term archiving capabilities, businesses that make use of these platforms are in vital need of a way to secure their valuable data and communications, while also ensuring that critical compliance requirements are being met.”

Backed by ArcMail’s advanced hardware archiving technology, the new appliance is also designed to ensure that all internal communication stays internal – behind the corporate firewall, and safe from corruption by outside sources.

Important Step in ArcMail’s Universal Archiving Strategy

ArcMail for Instant Messaging represents yet another step in ArcMail’s strategy to provide a universal archiving solution, with offerings that span multiple document types including email, instant messaging, private social networking conversations and other data. The product follows the company’s recent launch of an archiving appliance for Salesforce.com™ Chatter, the real-time enterprise collaboration platform, as well as ArcMail Guardian, an email archiving solution for Google Apps™ email. Guardian integrates with ArcMail Defender to provide a single, centralized approach to email archiving, covering Google Apps email, Microsoft Exchange and other widely used email platforms.

Priced starting at $9,979, ArcMail for Instant Messaging comes bundled with an ArcMail Defender email archiving appliance and is now available for order through ArcMail resellers across North America.

SHREVEPORT, La., June 27, 2011 -- Many organizations deploy cloud solutions for cost savings and convenience, but can experience critical business setbacks caused by cloud data losses and lack of reliability.  To ensure business continuity and data protection for Google Apps email, ArcMail Technology, Inc. today announced ArcMail Guardian, a new email archiving solution that integrates Google-hosted email with email from other corporate sources such as Microsoft Exchange.

Now available for order, ArcMail Guardian offers a hybrid approach to archiving that consists of an on-premise appliance that simultaneously retrieves, indexes and archives all email messages whether they are hosted by traditional email servers or as part of cloud-based corporate Google accounts. Guardian also gives organizations the added benefit of owning a copy of all email data, allowing easy migration of that data to new email platforms in the future.

“The combination of email protection and corporate ownership of the data allows us to eliminate the fear factors associated with corporate Gmail use,” says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. “Guardian represents an ideal choice for any organization looking to reap the cost saving and convenience of Google Apps Email, while staying serious about business continuity and data protection. The solution also works with traditional email systems to provide corporations with a single, centralized approach to archiving.”

Today’s announcement marks a new milestone in ArcMail’s strategy to provide universal archiving that spans email as well as other document types. The company is planning other product announcements throughout the year to extend the reach of its solutions beyond email archiving.

Fast, Easy Search and Recovery

When the need arises to recover email messages or attachments, ArcMail Guardian delivers industry-leading search and recovery functionality to make it easy. Any authorized individual can locate emails and attachments, and then restore that data to any user’s mailbox. For quick search and recovery, meta-data and text data are extracted from all parts of each message, including header, body and attachments, making it easy to locate files using intuitive keywords.

“ArcMail’s hybrid approach has the potential to open up new markets for corporate Gmail use, and should appeal to those organizations that have significant regulatory obligations to preserve data, as well as those that place a high value on the archive and retrieval of corporate data using on-premises infrastructure,” says Michael Osterman, of Osterman Research, an analyst firm providing research and insight to organizations in the messaging and collaboration industry.  “For highly regulated firms, the loss of archived data is often worse than an email outage, since the consequences are so much greater.  ArcMail addresses this issue with its robust business continuity capabilities.”

Two-Appliance Solution Provides Mission-Critical Reliability

ArcMail’s Guardian product provides mission-critical reliability in a two-part solution consisting of a Gmail Gateway appliance used in conjunction with an ArcMail Defender appliance.  The Gmail Gateway routes all inbound, outbound and internal corporate Gmail messages and attachments to the ArcMail Defender archiving appliance.

To promote maximum reliability, all devices in the Guard­ian appliance are solid-state, even the disks. As a high-availability solution, Guardian keeps functioning even in the event of processor, memory or disk failure.

Guardian represents the newest addition to ArcMail’s Defender line of email archiving appliances, which are sold worldwide and include models ranging in capacity from 500GB to 13TB, with larger customized solutions also available. The Defender appliances feature a fault-tolerant open source design, multiple configuration options and archiving speeds of up to 500,000-plus messages per day.

Now available for order through ArcMail resellers across North America, ArcMail Guardian is priced starting at $10,399 for the bundled, two-appliance product.

The publication underscores the need to implement a strategic email management program that incorporates the “3 Es” of email compliance management: establishment of email and email retention policies, education of employees, and enforcement via proven-effective email archiving practices. This policy empowers government entities and educational institutions to successfully manage legal, security and regulatory compliance risks.

Recognized as a leader in email archiving and management, ArcMail has built momentum in the government market as municipalities and schools of all sizes recognize the benefits of email archiving for storing, retrieving, classifying and purging email to improve organizational efficiency and compliance practices.

Nearly 45 percent of ArcMail’s customer base is made up of public sector entities including schools and municipalities.

“We thought it was important to research and outline best practices within this category in order to give municipalities and schools – which represent a significant and growing percentage of our customer base – a strong strategic direction for archiving and managing their email,” says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. “The public sector’s IT requirements are similar to private companies but they have to be more efficiently run, especially with reduced budgets.”

Highlights of the advice offered to public sector organizations in the white paper include:

• Form an email management team made up of your legal counsel, compliance officer, records manager, human resources manager and IT director.
• Know and adhere to the Amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
• Research and comply with the State Rules of Civil Procedure governing e-discovery and email retention in every state in which you operate or litigate lawsuits.
• Know and comply with the Open Record Laws of every state in which you operate or have employees or facilities.
• Assign your legal counsel the task of forming a litigation hold policy to halt the routine destruction of email records and other electronically stored information (ESI) once litigation is underway or legal claims are anticipated.
• Create an audit trail.
• Automate the archiving process to enhance productivity.

“The ArcMail Defender line of enterprise-class email archiving solutions makes it easier to satisfy open records requests and stay in compliance with a complicated tangle of regulations,” adds Welch. “In addition, it reduces the load on servers, clears out email inboxes and improves security for our public sector customers.”

Defender is sold worldwide and includes eight appliances ranging in capacity from 500GB to 16TB, with larger customized solutions also available. Featuring a fault-tolerant open source design, multiple configuration options and archiving speeds of up to 500,000-plus messages per day, the ArcMail Defender line is priced starting at $2,899.

In the aftermath of the debilitating Amazon EC2 outage, it should be obvious to everyone that when it comes to cloud services, CIOs should conduct serious risk assessments comparing the cost of cloud outages with the cost of guarding against those outages. Not all services are business-critical, but each service deserves its own risk assessment to ensure that organizations properly expose the risks of moving to infrastructures beyond their direct control. Mission-critical services require stringent service level agreements with redundancy and failover attributes commensurate with the level of availability required by the service.

Email is one business-critical service that most organizations share in common. Best practices for organizations that are moving their email infrastructure to the cloud or that are outsourcing their email service in whole or in part include the following:

1. Ensure that email has a path to flow in the event of a loss-of-service event from your major provider.
2. Recognize that email backups alone are not an effective business continuity plan for most organizations.
3. Implement an email archive.
4. Ensure that your archive captures email in real-time from primary and secondary sources.
5. Ensure that your archive is implemented in a facility other than your principal email provider.
6. Ensure that the queues for your archiving infrastructure are highly available.
7. Ensure that your email archiving solution doesn’t reduce the effective availability of your overall email infrastructure.

To ensure business continuity in the face of cloud service outages, companies that are moving to cloud-based email solutions should also implement an on-premise email archive. In the grand scheme of things, an email archive is a relatively inexpensive way to buy a lot of business-continuity peace of mind.

SHREVEPORT, La., April 14, 2011 – With budget discussions for the 2011-12 school year now underway, email archiving stands out as a technology tool that makes the grade as K-12 schools look for cost-effective ways to address rising regulatory demands and spiraling email storage requirements.

ArcMail Technology, Inc., a leading provider of email archiving and email management appliances that address multiple business issues, is building momentum in the education market as schools of all sizes recognize the benefits of email archiving for storing, retrieving, classifying and purging email to improve organizational efficiency and compliance practices.

“Schools have IT requirements just like any other organization, but they may face greater pressure to properly maintain and protect their email data due to unfortunate issues of the day, such as bullying and inappropriate content,” says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. “ArcMail is seeing increased traction in this market as educational institutions -- both large and small --seek to put more robust email solutions in place.”

The Freedom of Information Act and open meeting laws create a demanding regulatory environment that can be challenging to navigate.  The ArcMail Defender product line was designed to provide schools with an effective yet affordable solution that addresses these challenges through compliance with all government regulations.

The ArcMail Defender solutions:

• Integrate with all major email clients and servers
• Encrypt emails for transmission to and from the Defender
• Require no software licensing fees for adding users
• Provide hands-off archiving that doesn’t require additional IT resources

Beyond compliance, schools are making use of email archiving to not only provide instant access to stored email data, but to also alleviate the storage and performance burden on their primary mail servers.

ArcMail Makes the Grade at Calcasieu Parish Public Schools

With more than 37,000 students, Calcasieu Parish School System is one of the larger school systems in the state of Louisiana, and is considered by many to be the model district for technology implementation. When Calcasieu administrators determined they needed to improve email storage and retention practices, and find ways to save storage costs and make email retrieval much more efficient, they turned to ArcMail.

Notes Chris Mace, a network specialist with Calcasieu Parish School System, “ArcMail was an easy choice for us – it offered both price and performance advantages, along with full compliance with government regulations. Our Defender unit installed in less than 20 minutes, is easy to manage, and has proven to be a valuable addition to our technology environment.”

The Defender is also deployed within a number of other U.S. education institutions including Hacienda La Puente Unified School District, in the City of Industry, Calif.; and Garden Grove Unified School District, in Garden Grove, Calif.

The ArcMail Defender line of enterprise-class email archiving solutions is sold worldwide and includes eight appliances ranging in capacity from 500GB to 16TB, with larger customized solutions also available. Featuring a fault-tolerant open source design, multiple configuration options and archiving speeds of up to 500,000-plus messages per day, the ArcMail Defender line is priced starting at $2,899.

ArcMail Unveils Leasing Program to Address Greater SMB Demand for Email Archiving and Management Solutions

Email Archiving Leader Supports North American Channel by Facilitating Best-in-Class Technology Purchases

SHREVEPORT, La., March 15, 2011 -- ArcMail Technology, Inc., a leading provider of email archiving and email management appliances that address multiple business issues, today announced a new leasing program designed to drive greater demand for its product offerings across the broad small-to-midsize business (SMB) market.

Effective immediately, leasing options are available to cover up to 100 percent of all ArcMail appliances, software and maintenance contracts purchased through the company’s authorized resellers. The program allows SMBs and other organizations to take immediate advantage of ArcMail email archiving solutions to ensure business continuity, improve server performance and gain valuable legal protection through best-practice data management.

“Studies show that most organizations want to finance their technology investments over time – simply because it makes good business sense. Even for customers that can afford to pay cash, leasing provides many advantages, from tax relief and preservation of credit lines, to better cash flow and the ability to stay ahead of the technology curve,” says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail.

“We’re confident that our channel partners will not only be able to drive more business as a result of the leasing program, but also close sales faster,” adds Welch. “It’s our experience that customers are more likely to purchase when budget management is less of a concern, and when ease of financing is offered during the sale.”

Provided in partnership with Dimension Funding, LLC, the leasing program offers financing options for the entire ArcMail Defender line of enterprise-class email archiving solutions, which includes eight appliances ranging in capacity from 500GB to 16TB, with larger customized solutions also available. Featuring multiple configuration options and archiving speeds of up to 150,000-plus messages per day, the ArcMail Defender line is priced starting at $2,899 and is ideal for use in a wide range of markets including education, banking and local government.

Lease terms range from 24 to 72 months, and end of term options offer the flexibility to walk away from the equipment, purchase for nominal or fair market value, extend the current lease, or upgrade.

The ArcMail leasing program comes into play just after President Obama signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (on Dec. 17, 2010). The legislation provides 100 percent bonus depreciation for investments placed in service after Sept. 8, 2010, and through Dec. 31, 2011. Under the new bonus depreciation schedule, businesses may immediately write off 100 percent of the cost of depreciable property (including technology) acquired in the same calendar year, provided the equipment is used in the U.S.

Three years ago, during an information management conference that Branford, Conn., IT Director Peter Hugret attended, he listened to speakers who shared “war stories” about private-sector businesses being court ordered to produce documents under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires publicly traded companies to improve record keeping pursuant to corporate disclosures.

Upon hearing those stories, Hugret thought to himself, “There’s going to come a day when [saving documents] is going to be necessary. Right now, legally we don’t have to hold onto documents forever unless we know that it’s going to be a document that the courts are going to look for. Then we have an individual responsibility to secure that document.”

But that’s changing in many states and cities. While the Freedom of Information Act has standardized open records regulation at the federal level of government, state and local governments and agencies are subject to various open records laws, some of which are stringent.

This evolution of data retention requirements is encouraging municipalities like Branford to modernize their e-mail archiving systems in order to efficiently process open records requests.

Branford and some other municipalities have switched to e-mail archiving software and hardware that back up years of inbound, outbound and internal e-mails, even if they’ve been deleted.

For example, in March 2010, the Pasco County, Fla., Board of County Commissioners settled on an agreement with e-mail management vendor Mimecast for cloud-based e-mail archiving services to speed up public record requests, according to the Florida Local Government Purchasing Network.

In another example, Baton Rouge, La., purchased the ArcMail Defender e-mail archiving system in January for the city’s more than 2,000 Microsoft Exchange e-mail accounts. Archiving e-mails has since assisted with several open records requests, said the city’s information services project manager, Keldric Emery.

“We get somewhat complicated requests,” Emery said. “We might have a request where [constituents] might ask for an e-mail maybe from two different people on a certain day, or maybe in a certain week or certain period.”

The archiving system makes copies of every e-mail sent over a city’s mail server while filtering inbound spam. A copy of an e-mail is sent to the appropriate recipient, while another copy is stored on ArcMail’s servers where it’s indexed, compressed and archived. All data is then encrypted to ensure data security, according to ArcMail’s website.

Branford purchased the same system in August 2008 for nearly $2,500. The town’s Microsoft Outlook e-mail accounts — roughly 400 of them — were switched over to ArcMail Defender. Each employee received a user name and logon password to access his or her archived e-mails, which can be done by typing in search cues such as e-mail addresses, names and dates, said Hugret.

The archive system also stores voicemails and faxes that are sent over e-mail, said Kathryn LaBanca, Branford’s assistant finance director. At first, LaBanca needed some time to adjust to the system, but once she became more familiar with it, she said she didn’t have any trouble with the software.

When the archiving system stores the e-mails, only one copy of each e-mail sent is stored, even if it has multiple recipients. For example, if an e-mail is sent to 20 people, only one of the e-mail’s 20 copies is stored, Hugret said. Since multiple copies of e-mails aren’t stored, Branford will be able to store more e-mails for a longer time period.

“That’s important from a storage standpoint because we think with this device — and based on our pressing usage — we’re under 15 percent of capacity,” Hugret said. “We’re probably going to have the same appliance for seven years before we need to get another appliance.”

LaBanca said she can delete e-mails more frequently knowing all e-mail copies will be stored. If a records request is made, she won’t have to worry that important documents have been deleted permanently.

“The thought or the concern of deleting something that you might have a FOIA request for two years down the road,” LaBanca said, “it takes that burden off you.”

Many companies are resistant to transition archived email to the cloud with the following, well-founded concerns.

While cloud-based computing is certainly an interesting proposition with some obvious benefits, its lack of maturity still poses some inherent and significant risks. Many companies are resistant to transition archived email to the cloud with the following, well-founded concerns:

Email Archiving Leader ArcMail Gains Traction in Government Markets with ArcMail Defender Product Line

SHREVEPORT, La., January 11, 2011 -- ArcMail Technology, Inc., a leading provider of email archiving and email management appliances that address multiple business issues, today announced that it is building momentum in the government market as municipalities recognize the benefits of email archiving for storing, retrieving, classifying and purging email to improve organizational efficiency and compliance practices.

“Municipalities have IT requirements just like any other organization, but because they are government entities, the need to properly maintain and protect their email data becomes that much more vital,” says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. “ArcMail is seeing increased traction in this market as municipalities -- both large and small --seek to put more robust email solutions in place.”

While municipalities are not required to abide by the data retention requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, they must still be prepared to deliver any requested documents under federal Freedom of Information (FOI) rules. Beyond compliance, municipalities are making use of email archiving to not only provide instant access to stored email data, but to also alleviate the storage and performance burden on their primary mail servers.

Town of Branford Turns to Email Archiving

For the town of Branford, Conn., a decision made several years ago to save all incoming and outgoing email correspondence prompted its purchase of an email archiving solution. According to Peter R. Hugret, Branford’s information technology director, along with this decision came the need to find ways to improve data storage and retention practices, save storage costs and make email retrieval much more efficient for users.

Notes Hugret, “We contacted several vendors and dealers after researching the market. We saw two demonstrations, and after pricing and reference checking, ArcMail was the unanimous choice from both a cost and ease of use standpoint. The product has performed flawlessly in that it has never been ‘down’ nor has an end user been unable to find a document when the correct search arguments were posed.”

Hugret added, “The bottom line is that we are very satisfied users of the ArcMail archiving appliance and have -- and will continue -- to recommend it to anyone who asks.”

The Defender is also deployed within a number of other U.S. municipalities, including a major Louisiana city, which is making use of the appliance to manage more than 1,200 internal email accounts. After experiencing difficulty with other solutions, the municipality ultimately installed the ArcMail solution, and continues to benefit from the product.

The ArcMail Defender line of enterprise-class email archiving solutions is sold worldwide and includes eight appliances ranging in capacity from 500GB to 16TB, with larger customized solutions also available. Featuring a fault-tolerant open source design, multiple configuration options and archiving speeds of up to 150,000-plus messages per day, the ArcMail Defender line is priced starting at $2,899.

SHREVEPORT, La., October 26, 2010 -- ArcMail Technology, Inc., a leading provider of email archiving and email management appliances that address multiple business issues, today strengthened its commitment to the channel with the introduction of an aggressive new value-added reseller (VAR) program designed to further support VARs in the sales, marketing and training of ArcMail email archiving and management solutions.

The enhanced ArcMail Reseller Program will provide channel partners across the U.S. with access to market development funds (MDFs) to encourage the promotion of ArcMail solutions to small-to-midsize businesses (SMB) and enterprise markets.

In addition, the company has founded the ArcMail Sales & Training University to provide resellers with the training, knowledge, resources and support required to achieve long-term success.

“Migrating to a pure channel distribution strategy makes good business sense at this stage of our company’s growth,” says Rory Welch, CEO of ArcMail. “We have strategically aligned ourselves with VARs that have extensive relationships with SMBs – particularly in the areas of community and regional banking, state and local governments, and education – all of which represent significant market opportunities for the solutions provided by email archiving and management. Recommitting to the channel allows us to quickly extend our footprint in these burgeoning markets and expand into new sectors such as healthcare, while at the same time focusing on our core competency of product innovation. “

Effective immediately, ArcMail solutions will be available exclusively through its partner channel. The company will maintain its focus on product development, and support VARs in the marketing, sales and implementation of ArcMail solutions under a tiered channel strategy. The ArcMail Reseller Program will support Standard, Premier and Elite partner levels, each of which qualifies for access to the ArcMail Sales & Training University. In addition, eligible Premier and Elite partners benefit from a deeper discount structure as well as marketing development funds.

This new program both supports a more collaborative approach to funding ArcMail marketing activities and empowers VARs with hands-on training experience for the solutions they’ll take to market. Partners can leverage MDFs to finance a wide-range of qualified marketing activities, such as advertising, email marketing, telemarketing, demo units and tradeshow expenses, while Elite partners will experience the benefits offered by the ArcMail Sales & Training University free of cost.

“Archiving and e-discovery issues are critical to our customers in the education and enterprise markets,” says Karen Greer, president of Secure Content Solutions (SCT), a West Chester, Ohio-based provider of secure, best-of-breed email content, Internet and network protection solutions. “SCT’s 14 years in the network security space have taught us the importance of providing the highest level of service possible, and ArcMail’s new channel program supports that goal from both a technology and training standpoint. We’re looking forward to taking part in this new program to build our email archiving business while helping customers to meet their information and security objectives with ArcMail.”

ArcMail’s solution was developed to provide cost-effective email archiving that improves the user experience, reduces the load on IT resources and safely secures the business information contained in emails, all in an easy-to-use appliance. ArcMail is the email archiving solution for more than 1,000 organizations with anywhere from 5 to 50,000 mailboxes across a broad section of industries. ArcMail has also been recognized as a market leader by leading business analyst companies who report on email archiving appliance vendors. For more information, visit www.arcmail.com or call 318-841-1151.

"We listened to industry experts, current customers and other smart people looking to purchase a locally hosted email management solution. They told us that the industry hadn't gotten pricing quite right," shared Chief Executive Officer, Todd Gates.  "So this isn't a matter of burying the appliance cost elsewhere in pricing, this is addressing the marketplace demand for lower implementation cost of on-site archiving solutions in exchange for longer, worry free relationships. The durability of our products and quality of our customer service puts us in a position to address that demand."

Unlike competitors who require the customer to purchase product support as a condition of owning their hardware, ArcMail chooses to reward customers who purchase extended product support with a cost free appliance. The otherwise modest CEO, W. Todd Gates shared, "ArcMail is routinely recognized by industry analysts and users alike as the industry leader in features, performance and customer support, innovating pricing was a natural next step."  New five year options for hardware and software support are available and instant hardware replacement options now provide the customer with an immediate replacement for ArcMail products in the unlikely event your appliance is damaged or destroyed through no fault of your own.

ArcMail credits the reduced pricing and free appliance offering to increased efficiencies in the manufacturing process, improvements in its proprietary firmware, and a streamlined development process.  ArcMail VP of Product Development Norman Graham adds, "Our solution is the best engineered in the industry.  New efficiencies in our operations, development, and fabrication phases gave us the ability to pass additional savings to our customer."   Major new features include a re-engineered operating system and database structure enabling triple digit increases in indexing speeds and functionality enhancements such as Retention Policies, Litigation Holds, and new user interface.  While the company is open to making this a permanent move, reaction from customers will ultimately determine that. For now, ArcMail remains open to feedback and will continue to address market needs with ongoing product development and innovations like these.

lightning fast and represent up to a 30% performance improvement. Internal
benchmarks employing mail stores in excess of 10 million messages yield search
results in seconds!

New User Interface ‐ Release 4.0 provides a modern, web 2.0‐style user
interface that has the feel of a desktop mail‐reading application, providing richer
functionality and more features while remaining responsive and easy to use.

Single Sign On – The Single Sign On (SSO) feature eliminates the need to log in to
the archive for users who have already logged in to a unit that is bound to a
domain. This provides secure authentication and access control to the archive,
but with less redundant steps to the end user.

Retention Policies ‐ Retention Policies allow organizations to specify how long to
retain different classes of messages in the archive. While many archiving
providers only allow retention policies based on user, ArcMail allows
organizations to create retention policies on any searchable message attribute,
including user. This gives organizations the ultimate flexibility for implementing
retention policies that meet their exact requirements.

Message Holds – Whether originating from litigation, compliance or management
requirements, message holds allow organizations to specify named sets of
messages that are not subject to the organization's retention policy. Messages
that are in one or more holds are not removed from the archive until they are
explicitly released from all holds. Messages may be added or removed from holds
all at once or incrementally over time. Holds may be created, modified, and
released according to the needs of the organization. Holds are an integral part of
the archive and, as such, are a fully searchable using typical message attributes.

Stem based searching – Stem based searching allows users to search against
related words. For example, if one were to search for “produced”, the returns
may be “produce”, “producer”, “producing”, or “production”. This provides users
with greater flexibility searching the archive and drilling down to specific data
contained in the archive database.

Phrase Based Searching – When searching the archive, users can now zero in on
phrases contained within an email and receive results directly correlated to that
search. For example, if one were to search for “123 Main Street”, the relevance
search would return all documents which contained that phrase.

Multi‐Language Support – The software now supports the following languages:
Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian,
Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

SHREVEPORT, LA – July 1, 2009 –  Arcmail Technology, Inc. a leading provider of email archiving and management products announced today its latest partnership with Marshal8e6 a global provider of Web and email security products.  Through this partnership, Marshal8e6 will add email archiving to its integrated Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and email security products and create a “one-stop-shop” source for effective multi-layered security. Education agencies and districts can now protect their networks and their students while meeting federal regulations with one cost-effective security package.

"The partnership between Marshal8e6 and ArcMail is a perfect marriage of complementary technologies," said Todd Gates, chief executive officer of ArcMail. "Marshal8e6 recognizes education customers' needs and the ease that a network appliance delivery model brings to the table. We see Marshal8e6 and ArcMail as a hand-in-glove fit for an end-to-end email solution. We look forward to growing, leveraging and maximizing this partnership on many levels." 

Despite reduced IT budgets and resources, Marshal8e6 is able to address the increased challenge of protecting students and district networks while ensuring federal and district policy compliance. Their turn-key Secure Web Gateway and email security products protect students and networks from the emerging security issue of blended threats: attacks that prey upon multiple vulnerabilities within networks. At the same time, Marshal8e6’s solutions allow education institutions to be compliant under two federal regulations: the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP).  

Under both federal requirements, educational institutions that receive funding from the U.S. Department of Education must maintain strict controls over who has access to student records and ensure the privacy of student information (FERPA), and must maintain an inventory of various documents and data storage systems to determine whether the documents must be disclosed for possible e-discovery (FRCP). Marshal8e6’s Secure Web Gateway and email security products allow districts to block, monitor and report on all email and Web traffic, while monitoring for any data leakage, as required by FERPA, and ArcMail’s products automatically capture, index and store inbound and outbound emails and attachments for possible e-discovery, as required by FRCP. Marshal8e6 customers can be assured that they meet both regulations and that their students are secure while surfing online.  

“We chose Marshal8e6 because their solutions are focused specifically on the education space,” said Michael Waranowicz, network administrator at Sayreville Public Schools. “Previously, we had to use multiple vendors to take care of our security needs. With Marshal8e6, we see significant cost and support benefits by having all our email and Web security needs taken care of by one vendor.” 

In the past few months alone, Marshal8e6 has added 20 large schools districts and the State of Ohio. Marshal8e6 now has nine state-wide contracts and protects over 8 million students in North America. For information on discounts of up to 30 percent on Marshal8e6 Secure Web Gateway and email security products, please visit http://www.marshal8e6.com/education
