Original Press Release:
MessageOne Upends Email Archiving Market with New Low Cost Rapid Archiving Service
Real-time e-Discovery and Litigation Holds for $1 per User per Month
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 13 -- MessageOne (http://messageone.com/), a leading provider of on-demand email management solutions, today announced EMS Rapid Archive(TM), a new email archiving service that eliminates the financial barriers and complexity of archiving, helping companies successfully prepare for litigation and compliance.
MessageOne's new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) archive will enable companies to manage message retention and deletion, implement litigation holds and dramatically reduce the cost of e-Discovery through real-time message search and review. Priced at just $1 per user per month including message storage, EMS Rapid Archive dramatically lowers the cost of email archiving while tipping the total cost of ownership scales in favor of SaaS over on-premise alternatives.
"MessageOne has helped more than 1,000 companies tackle their most difficult email management, e-Discovery, and archiving challenges," said Satin Mirchandani, MessageOne's president and CEO. "With EMS Rapid Archive, we are proud to offer the first comprehensive on-demand archiving solution that can be deployed in a day for a fraction of the cost of in-house alternatives."
An Email Archive Can Simplify e-Discovery and Enable Compliance
Recent revisions to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and many U.S. state court rules establish new requirements for the rapid discovery and production of email messages. Under these new requirements, relevant email messages must be quickly identified and produced to the courts during litigation. In addition, safe harbor provisions provide important benefits to companies that are able to implement standardized retention and deletion policies. Finally, companies with active litigation in any court must be able to place legal holds to prevent evidence from unlawful destruction.
By addressing all of these problems, email archiving solutions can dramatically reduce the costs of e-Discovery and help companies avoid costly missteps.
Unfortunately, traditional on-premise archive solutions have caused as many problems as they solve. With deployments that can take months or years, archiving architectures that are inextricably tied to retention policies, and significant ongoing maintenance requirements, traditional archiving solutions are painful, expensive and complex. While SaaS solutions have eliminated the structural problems of on-premise archives, costs have kept on-demand solutions out of reach for some companies that would directly benefit from their advantages.
EMS Rapid Archive Provides the Quickest ROI of any Email Archive
EMS Rapid Archive provides a complete solution for retention policy management, e-Discovery and litigation holds at a much lower total cost of ownership than existing on-premise and SaaS solutions. With one-day deployment and zero maintenance, EMS Rapid Archive quickly pays for itself by dramatically reducing the costs of preparing for litigation.
With EMS Rapid Archive, IT administrators centrally control email retention. By allowing granular retention and deletion policies, EMS Rapid Archive will ensure that messages are stored properly and deleted at the appropriate time. For organizations with pending litigation, administrators can easily set legal holds to protect relevant email messages from selected mailboxes or users from deletion.
As email is sent and received within the primary email system, a copy of each unique message is compressed and securely encrypted for transmission to the EMS(TM) datacenter. Encrypted email and attachments are stored at the datacenter along with relevant metadata to enable real-time e-Discovery search. Built on MessageOne's Managed Service Platform(TM), EMS automatically synchronizes user information, topology data and distribution lists with Microsoft(R) Exchange to eliminate maintenance and provide intelligent search and recovery capabilities.
Once stored, email is available for search and retrieval by administrators, legal counsel and even end users if desired. Unlike other archives that may take hours to search, EMS Rapid Archive streamlines litigation discovery by including comprehensive real-time e-Discovery search of email message content, metadata and over 370 attachment types.
EMS Rapid Archive is fully integrated with MessageOne's EMS Email Continuity(TM) and EMS Email Security(TM). EMS Rapid Archive provides the following benefits to users of Exchange:
-- Centrally implement, record and change retention policies and litigation holds
-- Start with any number of mailboxes and grow as needed
-- Execute complex e-Discovery searches in seconds
-- Combine email archiving and disaster recovery to lower costs and increase archive accuracy

-- Add EMS Email Continuity to eliminate email downtime with your primary system
-- Optionally import messages directly from Exchange or .PST files
-- Integrate with Active Directory(R) to automate user management
-- Deploy in a day, zero maintenance, lowest total cost of ownership
With the addition of EMS Rapid Archive, MessageOne's existing EMS Email Archive(TM) has been renamed to EMS Enterprise Archive(TM). EMS Enterprise Archive provides the most powerful e-Discovery, compliance and storage management capabilities available for companies of all sizes.
