Cartamundi was looking for a solution to the wild growth of Exchange mailboxes, which is known within all large and midsize organizations as “PST hell”. Too many users with too large mailboxes with all the accompanying support, network and backup problems they imply. Together with Ferranti Computer Systems, they went in search of a professional solution that not only met the needs of the organization but was also scaleable, transparent, easy to use and above all easy to deploy amongst some 250 mailbox users. Potential expansions to include the archiving of file&print and SharePoint were also quick to surface and would definitely play a defining role in selecting the right product. Following the evaluation of a number of high-standing products, the choice was made for Symantec’s Enterprise Vault.

Symantec Enterprise Vault 

Enterprise Vault is Symantec’s online e-mail archive. It enables the storage of older e-mail content from Microsoft Exchange e-mail servers in a way that corresponds with the wishes of the company. Old information no longer needs to be deleted but is always accessible when needed. All e-mail is removed from the Exchange servers and archived after a period defined by the user. Information never goes missing and problems with overflowing e-mail servers are a thing of the past.

End users can access the archive at any moment they wish and consult ‘old’ information without the intervention of the helpdesk or administration. Enterprise Vault functions as an 'information warehouse' for personal and company-wide knowledge. It is a treasure trove of information, which can be easily accessed via the integrated indexing and search technology. With all the cost and time savings that this implies.

Enterprise Vault is fully integrated with Outlook and Exchange. Users can therefore search and consult archived information from their own familiar work environment. The software provides users with a virtually unlimited mailbox, automatically archives inactive mail and compresses data.

In short, Symantec Enterprise Vault offers a flexible, software-based archiving framework, which provides access to electronic content saved in Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint Server and File Server environments. In addition, Symantec Enterprise Vault also enables your customers to comply with future laws and regulations regarding the transmission and receiving of electronic messages. Enterprise Vault offers a unique platform and ensures that e-mail, documents, instant messages and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server documents are correctly saved and archived.
