Before and After: Email Management Solutions at Logicalis
Logicalis developed its Email Management Practice from its own experience. Here’s how it worked for us:
Before
Logicalis has more than 450 employees who receive an average of 1.2 million email messages every month. Outlook PST files—some of them more than 7 years old—were propagating everywhere. Half the calls to the help desk were coming from employees struggling to cope with their email files on their own machines. Local hard drives had become like people's personal attics, jam-packed with messages that were saved instead of thrown out—the significant tossed in with the irrelevant. There was no way to back all this data up, and retrieving a specific email was becoming an exercise in futility...if not liability.
After
When the implementation of our Email Archiving Solution was complete, message storage size was reduced by 80 percent. All email was standardized on Microsoft Exchange, and the PST suffix was retired. The Content Addressable Storage capability of Centera from EMC transformed retrieving important messages from a lost art to a predictable science. Not only does the Logicalis Email Archiving solution meet all compliance requirements, but it also converts email communications from an operational and legal liability to a managed resource—from an attic to an asset.
The Bottom Line
Logicalis projects savings in the first full year after the rollout of its email archiving solution of between 45 percent to 60 percent, with most of the savings coming from increased user productivity, decreased operational support, reduced backup requirement, and reduced losses from failed backups and stale restores. Logicalis can now manage corporate messaging with an eye toward both user function and operational support, yielding benefits and savings in both regards.
