Email Archiving/Enterprise Information Archiving

["Feehan, Patrick" <Patrick.Feehan () MONTGOMERYCOLLEGE EDU>]

We are in the process of evaluating an e-mail archiving solution for Montgomery College.  Our initial reason to 
consider e-mail archiving was to meet the storage challenge and email retention issues.  We use Exchange, Outlook, and 
Outlook Web Access.



We note, in the process, that Gartner is retiring the E-Mail Active Archiving Magic Quadrant and replacing it with a 
new Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving.  Is the concept of email archiving as a siloed activity 
already past its prime?



Have any of your schools using Exchange implemented an e-mail archiving solution?  If so, did you look for a tool that 
goes beyond e-mail to assist with e-discovery, legal holds, SharePoint files, electronic information archiving, records 
management policies, etc?  If yes, which features/capabilities did you decide were important?



Was ability to grow into enterprise information archiving important to you?



Thanks in advance for any thoughts you can offer.
