- by MessageLabs

- Length: 8 pages
Overview
The use of business email has grown exponentially over a relatively short period of time, bringing with it the huge advantages of worldwide, cost-effective, easy and near instantaneous communication. However, as all those involved in the management of IT systems know, the growth in email usage has brought its own challenges.
The concept of information governance is not a new one, but the challenge posed by the sheer volume of information generated by email is. Even organisations with well-defined and well-enforced policies on the use of traditional communications have struggled to police electronic communications.
Information transfer is the chief challenge for organisations, and unless that information can be easily located and retrieved, an organisation risks confusion, duplication of effort and embarrassment. On top of these costly irritations, the same organisation may also suffer more serious losses resulting from an inability to take action against wrongdoers, and an inability to defend itself adequately against legal actions, some of which may be based on questionable evidence.
