Over the past few years, archiving has quickly moved beyond its role as the pet project of the
Microsoft® Exchange administrator for reducing Exchange storage. It has fast become an integral
part of the information lifecycle strategy of companies, allowing them to define where enterprise
data is stored and for how long. With access to electronic data expanding beyond IT administrators
to legal teams, human resources staff, and temporary project teams, archiving can actually be a
corporate asset. And more and more archiving policies are being developed based on users’ roles,
as awareness increases for the technical capabilities of applications like the Symantec Enterprise
Vault framework.
