Enterprise Vault and Support for Archiving MS Lync 2010

[tmurray1]

The environment is EV8 SP4.

Does Enterprise Vault have support for archiving Microsoft Lync 2010 messages?

Thanks!

Looks like I have two options 1) Purchase Vantage and 2) Export from the Lync archive then archive by EV.  Do you know anyone who has implemented option #2? 

Thanks!

unfortunately i havent heard anything, ive seen this topic come up a number of times, and the default answer was always Symantec IM Manager but thats no longer produced or sold any more unfortunately, and the answer has been a third party solution such as Vantage, and i believe theres another one being developed but not sure

It looks like there are two recommended Enterprise Vault partners:

what product does Globanet have for Lync archiving?

[dascott]

The answers above are correct.    Since IM Manager is no longer an option (and it didn't support Lync when it was an option) the two options are:

Actiance (formerly Facetime) Vantage - http://www.actiance.com/products/vantage.aspx

Globanet Merge1 - http://www.globanet.com/merge1

We use Globanet's Merge1 for archiving Bloomberg messages, and will soon be adding archiving for Lync using the same tool
