In an on demand world, e-mail, a core tool to conduct business transactions, generates a high volume of critical business information. It is estimated that businesses alone generated 60 billion e-mails in 2005.

Organizations work under increasing pressure to establish scalability and to secure archive management systems that can protect business-critical assets, deliver information as needed to end users, and meet the demands of regulatory compliance. They must also be prepared to satisfy requests to provide e-mail records for purposes of corporate compliance and litigation discovery.

eMail Search for CommonStore for Exchange Server and eMail Search for CommonStore for Lotus^® Domino^® are made to deliver a subset of the overall content-discovery marketplace whose requirements are driven by the growth of e-mail as a corporate-compliance concern. This eMail Search feature addresses that portion of the marketplace requirement.

eMail Search Client adds an easier-to-use Web interface that allows specific users (compliance and litigation officers) to perform general discovery steps on e-mails stored in DB2^® Content Manager by CommonStore.

If you are a Lotus Domino or Microsoft™ Exchange user, eMail Search for CommonStore V8.3.1 lets you:

• Allow authorized agents (legal department, compliance officer, and so on) to search across personal mailboxes
• Locate business-critical e-mail records through advanced search features (To, From, CC fields, as well as attachment content)
• Respond to requests to demonstrate adherence to corporate-compliance plans
• Respond to legal requests for e-mail record discovery requests associated with litigation
• Create result sets of e-mail records for analysis or transfer
