Archiving e-mails - how to do it right
E-mail has long since supplanted other forms of communication, including letters and faxes, not only for personal but business correspondence as well. The advantages are obvious: a vastly simplified and accelerated flow of communications. It only takes a split second to reach and provide information to individuals and large groups of recipients anywhere in the world. In light of the fact that more and more business-relevant information is being shared by e-mail, many companies have an urgent need to organize and properly archive their e-mail correspondence. After all, contracts, offers and similar documents must be retained in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements. The conventional form of paper documentation is not a viable alternative, since printing e-mails and file attachments and then storing them by hand would consume an enormous amount of time.
