Featured Web Seminar: Archiving Best Practices Preserve Quick Access to
Data
Compliance is a hot topic in the IT world, but it's a broad topic, too.
Focusing on individual parts of the compliance elephant can be a good
way to start. Archiving email is often desirable or necessary, even for
companies that don't have explicit compliance requirements. In this Web
seminar, Paul Robichaux describes how archiving strategies can help your
business work more effectively and keep IT operating costs under
control while preserving quick access to needed data.
