Of the common threads that run through the daily life of every information worker, there may not be a more pervasive tool than email. Everyone has it, most people have several accounts, and along with the web browser, the email client has become perhaps the most used desktop tool. However, at a corporate level, all this email comes at a significant cost. Companies ignore proper email management at their peril, and the challenges are not necessarily the obvious ones, such as the massive amounts of storage required (though that is often one factor). This white paper will walk you through some of the most common misconceptions around email management in order to set the stage for sharing the best practices for getting the most out of the email management solution that you choose. It will help you begin to answer the two major questions around corporate email: “How do we control costs?” and “How do we ensure we are compliant?” Finally, it will show that Oracle and TEAM Informatics are setting a new standard for how email management should be addressed in a broader IT and Compliance environment.
