Email Archiving and Lifecycle Management for MS Exchange
Email, like all information, has a specific lifecycle. Over the years, enterprise mailbox management has grown into a time consuming and costly activity. Efficient storage of email is recognized as one of the biggest challenges faced by IT departments today. For most companies, audit secure archiving of email is a requirement under Sarbanes Oxley and the recently amended Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP).

This whitepaper explains how an email archiving solution can help you reduce storage requirements in the MS Exchange Store to an insignificant 2-5 KB after archiving. The only change the user notices is the presence of an icon that blends into the toolbar in MS Outlook and a simple double-click can bring up the email and its attachments.

FRCP 37(f): What the Heck is Good Faith?
On December 1, 2006, a number of amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (the "FRCP Amendments") came into effect. One of the more significant amendments creates a new “Safe Harbor” provision which, generally speaking, will preclude a court from imposing sanctions against a party for the destruction of electronically stored information if such destruction occurred pursuant to the "routine" operation of an electronic storage system.

The caveat of good faith states that in order to claim protection under the Safe Harbor provision, the responding party must not only demonstrate that the destruction occurred in connection with the “routine” operation of an electronic information system, but it must also demonstrate that such “operation” occurred in "good faith."

This whitepaper provides some practical suggestions on measures corporations should implement in order to establish good faith under the proposed framework.
