Archiving solutions are becoming essential to companies in order to meet litigation requirements, comply with internal governance policies, as well as meet government document retention requirements.

In the past few years a number of laws and statues have been developed at the federal and state level that require email and instant messaging applications to be archived and retained for use in Legal Actions, Freedom of Information requests, proof of compliance with certain laws or regulations, proof of business transactions or other regulatory reasons.  In addition, Email and IM archive systems can help minimize the size of the email information store to reduce back up windows and provide higher availability of Email and IM operations.  Lastly, if designed properly, an Email archive system can help restore business operations in the event of a disaster or other data loss incident.   As electronic communications continue to be more mainstream for business operations and business transactions, the need for archival systems increases.
