Email Archiving for Compliance

Email Compliance

SmarterMail was architected so that it can be used in any environment that has compliance or other regulatory standards that need to be met. Features such as industry-standard security, auditor access, extensive logging, strict password requirements, the ability to integrate with third-party services and appliances, and more mean that SmarterMail can meet SOX, HIPAA, GDPR and other legal or compliance regulations.

For example, Archiving gives larger organizations the ability to track and store each and every message sent to or from users. Messages are archived before being handled by the spool, so everything is saved. Even if a user deletes, forwards, or moves messages, they'll remain archived. System administrators can also disable individual accounts, pausing them for any business or legal reason, while still allowing, or not allowing, messages to be delivered to the paused account.

Team Collaboration

SmarterMail offers a number of collaboration features that make it easy to work together with team members, customers, and partners. This includes organizational calendars, conference room scheduling, shared contacts, calendars, tasks and notes, instant messenger, Online Meetings for online conferencing, and much more.
