BlueTie Delivers Cloud-Based Email Archive and Auditing for Small Businesses, Enterprises, and Service Providers

New On-Demand Archiving Solution Makes it Simple for Businesses of All Sizes to Address Both Legal Compliance and Email Auditing Needs

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2009 -- BlueTie, a leading provider of hosted email and collaboration services for business, today announced a significant upgrade to its email archiving service. With BlueTie Archive Services all inbound and outbound email and attachments are permanently and securely stored online, and can be accessed and searched from any computer with an Internet connection. Designed to provide a full-featured but affordable alternative to Microsoft® Exchange, BlueTie's cloud-based Email and Collaboration services suite helps users to maximize their productivity, and provides businesses with a messaging and collaboration solution that requires no dedicated IT personnel, and no up-front capital investment.

In addition to HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and NASD compliance requirements, now new state and federal rules such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are forcing companies in all industries to evaluate and implement email archiving technology. Organizations of all sizes are finding that the need to securely archive email and to monitor employee communications for potentially disastrous breaches of company policy is becoming critical.

"Email lies at the center of business communications today, including taking orders, formalizing contracts, and discussing sensitive personnel issues," said Jeremy Hunter, President of BlueTie. "Poor or non-existent data retention practices expose businesses of all sizes and in all industries to a host of potential legal problems, including heavy fines and presumed guilt or damaged reputation if subpoenaed records can't be produced. On a more day-to-day level, though, at one point or another who hasn't wished they could get back an email that they'd accidentally deleted? BlueTie's archive services help our customers address all of those needs. Email archive and auditing isn't just for big financial services firms anymore."

"We're very excited by how quickly the archived messages become accessible to us, and by the fact that all of our archived messages are available from one location online," said Jennifer Cook, IT Manager for BlueTie-customer AdvantageRN. "The search interface is very good, and the ease with which deleted messages can be recovered will be a great help."

BlueTie's Archive Services are available immediately for all BlueTie customers. For more information visit http://www.bluetie.com/solutions/archival.php.
