Archiving – simple or complicated?
You can solve the 10-year email storage requirement problem either internally or externally.
The lesser solution
Internal means that you invest in an archiving system which is linked to your mail server, and each incoming or outgoing email is first digitally signed (so that the integrity of the document is guaranteed) and then stored so as to ensure data readability in ten years. For data security reasons, you must also create a copy and then keep both the original and copy secure in different locations. First, this will cost you a lot of money for hardware and software, and second, it will cost your IT administrators a lot of time and nerves. Above all, you can be sure that this investment will never yield even the slightest return. On the other hand, you are legally obliged to do something.
The better solution
It's much more advantageous to delegate both problem and solution - to a specialist like Spamchek, whose core business is otherwise unprofitable tasks such as email archiving and spam and virus filtering. Unlike you, it's worthwhile for us to invest in high-performance servers and develop sophisticated software - it's how we earn our daily bread. For you, outsourcing an unprofitable task means releasing resources to do profitable work, relieving your IT infrastructure, and benefiting from a superior solution that would cost much more internally. All things considered, there's every reason to pay less for a better solution and entrust Spamchek with your email archiving requirements.
