E-mail: A Serious, Hidden Threat

By 2006, the number of e-mail messages will double from 31 billion daily today to 60 billion, according to International Data Corporation. IDC also reports that:

86% of employees send and receive personal e-mail at work
60% of employees send or receive adult-oriented e-mail at work
55% of employees send or receive politically incorrect or otherwise offensive e-mail at work
50% of all companies have been asked to produce e-mail for an attorney, HR, or their CEO

E-mail, now indispensable, is a very real source of potential danger to your corporation. Risks involve workplace lawsuits, including sexual and racial discrimination, wrongful termination, hostile work environment, defamation, copyright infringement, invasion of privacy; lost productivity; theft of confidential data; sabotage and other attacks; business interruptions; fines and imprisonment; public relations nightmares.

You are also faced with the likelihood that you will have to produce, in very short order, enormous volumes of old e-mail messages to satisfy the discovery process in lawsuits.

Regulatory Compliance: Now More Than Ever

Government regulations clearly have teeth, and the sobering sight of chief executives doing the perp walk has helped all companies take compliance seriously. Your company may be affected by Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, the GLB Act, SEC regulations. You need to protect yourself, management, your stakeholders and your shareholders. And you need to keep down the cost of achieving this—and of complying with requests from those who need to discover what’s buried in your e-mail archives. Elixir Whitewater is the natural choice for this, with low cost, high speed, maximum flexibility.
