Messaging Architects Shares How to Find the Email Retention Goldilocks Zone
Email expert discusses the email retention dilemma, selective vs. full retention policies, and how organizations set "just right" retention policies--in a new article from Messaging Architects.
HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and email policy consultant, shares important information to help organizations set effective email retention policy in a new article on the Messaging Architects website.
The informative article first reviews the email retention dilemma of too much or too little data. The author then examines the implications of selective retention vs. full retention. He concludes by discussing how to determine the "just right" or Goldilocks email retention period.
"There is no doubt that much of email consists of transient records that have no value and could be deleted," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "The issue comes down to ensuring that users make acceptable email deletion decisions."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Finding the Email Retention Goldilocks Zone."
The Email Retention Dilemma
"Creating an Email Retention Policy that works is tricky. Keeping too little information encourages email pack rats and puts legal teams at a disadvantage. Too much information drives up ediscovery costs while increasing potential liability. Hence, organizations seek the email retention Goldilocks zone where retention is just right."
Selective Retention
"If you allow users to selectively retain and destroy data, you need to fully educate them on record types and what to delete and what to save. As a companywide user education program, it requires an auditing and monitoring component. The company must ensure compliance with policies and training directives for them to be effective."
Full Retention
"Full retention provides the panacea many information technology departments seek. When faced with no resources to train, monitor or enforce retention policies, they know that disk space costs less than people. Indeed, it is much cheaper than the deployment and management of a regulated information selection and retention system."
