E-Mail and Data Management
The average employee sends over 25 emails per day, meaning that a 100 person company will generate over 600,000 emails per year.  Over 80% of corporate communications occurs via e-mail.  Besides the sheer volume of it, there are many important legal reasons to manage your email today:

• Compliance – Sarbanes-Oxley, GLB, PCI, HIPPA, etc.
• Legal Requirement – Electronic Data Discovery, Legal Holds
• Corporate Liability – Inappropriate e-mail, harassment, etc.
• Storage Requirements – Increased server performance, backup / restore performance, etc.

Firms need to be able to meet their regulatory requirements for data retention and access.  Moreover, they need the ability to prove that they have met these requirements.  We can assist in deciphering the technical implications of statutory, regulatory and policy-based compliance; even time-critical e-Discovery and Legal Hold needs.  And, if the unfortunate triggering event requires electronic forensics, legal advice or otherwise, BrightPlanIT has industry-leading partners that can assist with your expanding needs in this area.
