Seeking to help companies comply with ever changing state and federal laws, a Burlington, Mass.-based provider of hosted business services recently released its hosted e-mail archiving service for regulatory compliance.

 

Officials at 123Together.com (News - Alert), a mindSHIFT Technologies company, say that their “GuardDoc” hosted email archiving service helps financial services, legal or brokerage firms banks, medical institutions and publically traded companies to meet the demands placed upon then by the federal government in a stable, secure and cost effective manner.

 

Specifically, the company’s GuardDoc hosted e-mail archiving for compliance service provides businesses with a single, tamper-proof, offsite repository for corporate e-mails and attachments. Easily scalable as a business grows, it enables customers to store an unlimited amount of data at no additional cost and is accessible 24x7. No technical training is required and users can instantly retrieve data on-demand without the need for an IT staff. There is also no need to purchase expensive hardware and software or sign long-term contracts. Companies pay a small monthly fee and there are no minimum usage requirements.   

 

According to Bill Flynn, senior executive officer at the company, e-mail archiving isn’t just a requirement for financial institutions anymore. The federal government has placed constraints on a wide variety of businesses and agencies regarding the receipt, storage and dissemination of electronic data.

 

“The ability to produce all requested e-mail in a timely manner in the event of a government inquiry is the principal reason why businesses are seeking out a hosted archiving solution,” Flynn said. “Our hosted GuardDoc archiving for compliance service provides end-users with immediate, on-demand access to their securely archived data via an easy-to-use, Web-based control panel and can be accessed from any Internet-enabled computer.”
