  7. Agenda • Introduction • What’s driving the need for e-mail archiving today? • E-mail archiving solutions – IBM’s approach • To manage the growth of the email / messaging system • To address compliance requirements • To treat emails as business records • As part of an overall Enterprise Content Management Solution • Demonstration • Q &A • Close

  8. Recent News “Wall Street Firms fined for not preserving e-mail” “We think that the emails were destroyed”

  9. Email problems are unceasing (Ovum 2004) • “…. businesses can’t afford to be without their email systems, and they cannot afford to lose business-critical email that provides a record of their business decisions and transactions. Such records are required for accountability and productivity purposes.” • Mailboxes are overflowing & IT is forced to restrict the size of employees mailboxes • Email systems don’t provide searchable archive storage • Litigation costs • Non-compliance with regulations and laws • Email systems do not provide an audit trail • Email systems do not help email value (as a business document) to be realised • Each mailbox is an information silo

  10. Mailbox Management Challenges • Mail boxes • Mail is not just a communication tool • Mailbox is often used for keeping track of business information (customer folder, project folder, etc...) • Mailbox can be a mixture of important business data, informal communication, even private mails • Often, there are no retention policies in place • Current industry data • 76 emails/day/user • 80-100KB/email • 140MB / month/user • 1.7GB / year/ user • 3000 users : 5TB / year • 80% of organizations use email to close business transactions / orders. • Average number of e-mails that are kept: 10 daily per user (going up) • Message storage growth in excess of 25% per year!

  11. Why organizations are archiving email • Storage / Mailbox Management: • to improve email server performance & reduce IT (storage & labor) costs • to manage the huge growth in email volumes – more users, larger mail boxes, growing size of attachments, email message storage redundancy • The lack of email management impacts end user productivity. • Regulatory Compliance & Legal Discovery • to comply with laws, regulations and internal policies (search, monitoring, supervision, discovery & retention) • to protect themselves from lawsuits by having a formal retention policy (FORRESTER, by Erica Rugullies and Robert Markham, 2004) • to reduce the cost of providing email evidence as part of litigation • Information Sharing • to make the email & attachment (content) “business records” available to others in the organization (for customer service, cross marketing, fraud detection, etc.)

  12. What is in the mail box? • 90% of all e-mails have no attachments • Emails with graphics continue to take up more storage space • 10% have attachments….. • However, attachments occupy about 75% of the total storage • Attachments can be enormous • Old e-mails • Little access • Are kept for possible later look-up • Have potential issues for compliance reporting • Users don’t want to delete old emails “just in case they may need it”

  13. Specific Industry Requirements • Financial / Insurance firms • Email and Instant Messaging archiving to non-erasable storage devices • Supervision - monitoring, sampling, workflow, auditing, reporting • Cross industry (Manufacturing, Healthcare, Legal, Government, etc.) • Providing enterprise access to email as a business / transaction record • accessing old email that has been stored but not deleted • Litigation support – to produce evidence to support litigation • discovery, reporting, and case production • Content filtering to support corporate compliance policies • Scanning and quarantine of potentially offensive or inappropriate email is becoming more prevalent. • Records Retention • Corporate File Plan – declare, classify, manage and destroy • Save eMails for only a specified period of time to reduce legal exposure • Event based management, legal hold, final disposition management

  14. Who in the organization is concerned about email archiving? • Compliance Officer/Manager/Director • regulatory compliance • Chief/Senior Counsel • litigation support / protection • Chief Security Officer • compliance & litigation • IT Mgr, Notes Administrator or Exchange Administrator • control email growth & administration • CIO, CEO • reduce costs (email infrastructure & lawsuit exposure) • Line of Business, Sales, Customer Service Exec. • customer service & sales support

  15. Email Business Problems & Pains • Email Administrator: • “My email users are complaining about poor response time” • “I need to keep adding more and more disk storage because of the explosive growth in email volume and large attachments. Backups and restores take too long. It’s a challenge to keep control of our email system” • CIO: • “I think it’s ridiculous that we have so much redundant information being stored in our email system. People send the same email and attachments to multiple people and we store the same information multiple times” • “The business units are all over me about the restrictions we impose to keep mail box sizes down” • Line of Business Executive: • “My employees don’t have the time to think about which emails should be saved and which should be destroyed. We need a standard policy” • “There are a lot of emails that are customer service related that we never see or know about because we are not included in the distribution. It would be great if we could do a search on a repository for specific words, terms or names to see all the emails our customers are sending” • Compliance Officer: • “If we are not NASD or SEC compliant, we could be liable for sizable fines” • “I must be able to show that our email management process prevents emails from being altered” • Chief Legal Counsel: • “We have a lot of legal exposure because some emails are on desktop PC’s or backup tapes that should be destroyed while there are other emails that we need to keep that we cannot find.” • “Our chances of winning favorable judgments in litigation are reduced when we cannot show that we have a “usual and customary” process for managing email and other records. It is a slow & expensive process to search emails that are on backup tape.”

  16. SEC Rule 17a-4 Digital Archiving Requirements NASD Rule 3010 & 3110 SupervisoryRequirements Legal and Regulatory Requirements • Compliance with state or federal legislation, industry regulations • Often document retention rules are specified • Content supervision may be required • E-mails as evidence in legal cases / litigation

  17. E-mails as legal evidence • Informal e-mails have played a critical role in lawsuits • Often there is no policy to manage email as a business record • A formal records management or archiving policy can prevent intentional or accidental deletion of email (evidence) • Central archive makes search and restore easy (versus mounting backup tapes and printing all emails) • Email messages including message body and attachments can be searched and discovered

  18. E-mail active-archiving systems should: (by Gartner, 24 Nov 2003, What Is E-Mail Active Archiving? ) • Automate the capture and archiving of all e-mail messages • Provide the end user the option of accessing the archive via a Web client or through the e-mail client. • Include auditing to track access to archived records • Support the secure storage of increasingly large archives offering multiple storage options for the archive • Exploit Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) technology to automatically prune the active email data store for more efficient operation • Offer migration tools and temporary offline local storage options to eliminate the storage of e-mail messages in personal folder storage outside the control of the archive system • Package or integrate with tools to manage the discovery process, narrowing the search and managing the steps needed to deliver records • Include basic records management features or integrate with a robust records management solution to manage the life cycle of the records to ensure proper retention and deletion • Package tools for sampling and management of the compliance process

  19. IBM CommonStore solutions bring relief for your email system! • Provide efficient and automatic offload from Lotus Domino or Microsoft Exchange • Can store email in an electronic archive system (repository) • Provide easy retrieval through the existing email client • Provide regulatory compliance • Records management capability can be added • Can be part of an overall Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution

  20. Moves email &/or attachments from personal mail boxes in expensive production environment to inexpensive storage environment (electronic archive) User-driven or automatic (rule based) archiving Simple rule set (policies) Document age (modification date, access date), Document size, Mail box size,etc. Various archiving options Attachment archiving Mail body remains within email client Stub archiving Leaves the mail header ("stub") in email client as a placeholder Placeholder can be text, a retrieval “hot-spot” or an intelligent abstract of the message Removing the entire message Can still search for email Maintains email form “fidelity”. Can convert emails to PDF, TIFF, rich text, etc. if required Efficient & automatic email &/or attachment offload from Lotus Domino or Microsoft Exchange

  21. Characteristics of an Electronic Archive System (repository) • IBM archive repository options: • IBM Content Manager or Content Manager OnDemand system • Choice of server platform (Windows, AIX, Sun, HP-UX, iSeries, zOS /390) • Flexible mapping of e-mail message attributes such as subject, sender, date, etc. to repository index meta data • Other attributes can be added to the email such as customer number, vendor number, policy number, etc. • Email can be stored in subject-matter “folders” with other application content such as order documents, insurance or loan applications, statements, written correspondence, etc. • Reduced storage costs with Single-Instance-Store • Storage on tape, hard disk, non-erasable disk or optical (WORM), etc.
