Fortiva On Demand Email Archiving Solution Selected for Use by Microsoft Managed Services Customers

APRIL 24, 2007 – Toronto, ON – Fortiva, the leading provider of on demand email archiving, today announced that their email archiving solution will be used by Microsoft Managed Services (MMS) customers. Under the agreement with Fortiva, MMS will add email archiving from Fortiva to the list of managed services the group offers, allowing their customers to reduce the cost of their messaging infrastructure and reduce their legal exposure.

“Leaders attract leaders, and we’re very pleased that a clear market leader like Microsoft is working with Fortiva on our on demand email archiving solution,” said Eric Goodwin, CEO, Fortiva. “Our software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution is already in place at well over 100 organizations. With this partnership, we are looking forward to bringing email archiving to even more large organizations that want the benefits of an archiving solution without the time and hassle involved with an in-house deployment.”

Microsoft Managed Services will work with Fortiva to enable Microsoft Exchange 2007 customers to benefit from an on-demand messaging archiving solution that addresses security and scalability needs. As a mission-critical application, email must be defended against a growing array of threats while satisfying an expanding set of government regulations, making effective message archiving increasingly important.

Fortiva is a complete email archiving solution that addresses Exchange storage management, legal and regulatory compliance challenges. The on demand solution automatically captures and indexes all electronic communications using Exchange journaling, before sending it in encrypted form to Fortiva’s secure datacenter for redundant storage. Using a grid architecture, Fortiva guarantees search performance regardless of the number of users or the amount of data being archived. With tools to create, edit and implement email policies, Fortiva allows businesses to enforce a consistent message retention policy without having to worry about managing the storage infrastructure.
