Ahh, the endless quest for compliance. We are looking at 3 products : Tumbleweed's Secure Archive, KVS, and EAS. Of the three, I like KVS the best for a number of reasons: ease of use, very powerful features, it has a very nice interface - perfect for the compliance office and the reps have been great. However, we are using Tumbleweed's Secure Mail feature now for content filtering etc, so it will probably wind up being cheaper and easier for us to simply plug in the Secure Archive component. Remember also that compliance means that all the archiving must be stored on non-writable, i.e.. optical media, so simply keeping copies of emails on a hard drive is probably not enough. Your lawyers will have to make that call whether that meets the requirements. All together, the archiving solutions run anywhere from 20-40K which typically includes everything: installation, training, server, software etc...
P.S. Are you only required to keep messages for 90 days? That seems a bit short. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clemens, Rick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 6:05 PM Subject: The SEC is killing me. > Mixed Exchange 5.5 SP4 / Exchange 2000 SP3 > 100% Active Directory > 100% Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 > > Our Legal and Security department wants us to provide the ability to access > every e-mail the company sends or receives for a period of 90 days to > satisfy certain SEC requirements. > > The original plan was to Journal everything into a mailbox using an Exchange > 5.5 server.
