- How does email archiving change Exchange storage requirements?
- What are the requirements of the email archive in order to respond to eDiscovery requests?

- Self-service search of archived data: Seamless self-service access to end-user archived data, enabling them to find potentially lost or deleted messages without IT assistance.
According to William Tolson, “the release of the email archiving book underscores the drivers for implementing an effective email archiving solution to keep pace with eDiscovery and stringent compliance regulations. We’ve incorporated the information organizations need to consider when selecting a comprehensive email archiving system that leverages their existing Microsoft Exchange environment.”
