IDC Report: Using a Hosted Service for Holistic E-Mail Management

To meet the demands imposed by regulatory requirements - while protecting themselves against litigation-related discovery requests and safeguarding their networks against security breaches - organisations are turning to email management and other messaging solutions that provide functionality for archiving, business continuity and security. According to IDC, the market for email archiving applications alone was $703 million in 2007, a 37% increase over the prior year's revenues, and IDC estimates that 2008 revenues will approach $900 million.
