Litigation + compliance = peace of mind
Ok, the equation in the headline usually does not offer peace of mind. On the contrary, litigation and compliance often are connoted with sweaty palms.

Because Email-Manager™ offers verbatim copies of all incoming and outgoing email correspondence you can leave your worries at the door.

Should it happen that you are asked to produce electronic evidence in court, it is imperative to know that the emails you retrieve from the email vault can be trusted to be authentic and not tampered with.

All emails carry within them a hidden information called metadata – or embedded information. The Email-Manager™ email vault is protected in a manner that makes it safe to assume, that no-one fiddles with the contents, timestamps or recipients/senders.

The way to produce the electronic evidence is fairly easy: Search a sender or receiver, a project, a date interval or even a word in the text field and the entire thread is presented to you. But how can this be possible? If we look at the search capabilities of Email-Manager™, we’ll see similarities with search engines like Google and Opera. Your emails are loosely organized in the vault and a search will collect all hits into a list of emails. This list is called the Journal. And the journal will be your electronic evidence.
