Email Control, Automation ORLANDO, FL, Oct. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Open Text(TM) Corporation
(NASDAQ:OTEXNASDAQ:TSX:NASDAQ:OTC), a global leader in Enterprise
Content Management (ECM), today announced its latest new release of
Open Text Email Management for Microsoft Exchange, a full-featured
email management solution that helps companies reduce skyrocketing
email storage requirements and enhance their ability to respond to
eDiscovery requests. By offering unprecedented control and
automation, companies can automate and safeguard the disposition of
unimportant email and provide common-sense mechanisms for users to
identify and retain business-critical messages. Email has
transformed the way business operates - facilitating fast and
cost-effective communication across business units, geographies and
time zones. Despite its unparalleled utility however, rampant and
insurmountable growth has made email a growing liability for
organizations around the world. The challenges associated with
failing to implement a content retention plan for email are
multifold and complex, but the most pressing issue facing companies
today concerning email is that of litigation risk, cost and
unsustainable growth of electronically stored information. Open
Text's email management capabilities are an integral part of the
Open Text ECM Suite, which provides the broadest, most
comprehensive set of integrated ECM capabilities on the market
today. The new Open Text Email Management 10 for Microsoft Exchange
systematically captures business value and intended record email
messages, and also offers a reliable and consistent method for
identifying and deleting unimportant or transitory email.
"Mismanaged email poses substantial risk and cost, particularly in
terms of litigation expenses. The amount of data retained directly
correlates to these costs and risks," said Jeremy Barnes, Program
Manager, Email Management at Open Text, who discusses this topic
further in a podcast (http://ow.ly/uoZ4) launched today. "The
latest release of Open Text Email Management for Microsoft Exchange
offers organizations a simple and automated means of identifying
and capturing only those email messages that are useful or
important to keep, while disposing unimportant, low-value email
that clogs up our inbox." "The most innovative and powerful element
of this solution is the simplicity in which it embeds email
management into day-to-day work processes," said Doug Magnuson,
Managing Director at Huron Consulting Group. "Organizations
struggle to manage email in accordance with policy without placing
undue burden on the end user. What Open Text has done that is so
compelling is to make it all truly practical for the end user
resulting in higher compliance and immediate value for them and for
the organization." Key features of Open Text Email Management 10
for Microsoft Exchange include: - Common-sense message
classification mechanisms: Multiple message classification
mechanisms are designed implicitly around the way users work. Users
can assign classifications to existing folders in their mailbox,
classify messages in-place within the mailbox, or on- send when
composing new emails. Classifications then drive the appropriate
capture of important messages into the Open Text ECM Suite, and
retention in accordance with policy. - Role-based classifications:
To provide as simple a user experience as possible, classification
choices are presented to users based on their role within the
company, ensuring they always have a relevant and targeted
selection of options to identify what emails represent. -
User-friendly email management assistant: An intuitive email
management assistant provides users with a real-time view into what
is happening in their managed mailbox. Information about how
specific emails have been classified and managed, as well as a
dynamically generated view of unimportant messages pending deletion
is always available to users, ensuring they have a final
opportunity to review and save potentially important messages
before they are dispositioned. Open Text Email Management for
Microsoft Exchange is available now. For more information, please
