Despite the rise of messaging apps like WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams, email remains the primary mode of communication in the business world, and its usage continues to grow. This growth presents businesses with the challenge of securely storing emails for extended periods, in compliance with legal requirements. An email archiving solution, such as ArchiveMate, can assist in meeting these requirements.
Why Should You Offer Email Archiving as a Managed Service?
Many small and medium-sized businesses lack the necessary infrastructure to maintain certain IT services remotely due to cost constraints. Instead, these services are often sourced from service providers or cloud vendors, as these options typically involve lower investment costs and offer the benefit of flexible scalability. Well-known examples include collaboration and productivity suites from providers like Microsoft (Microsoft 365) and Google (Google Workspace). Similarly, a professional email archiving solution can be obtained as a service from a provider.
Email Archiving-as-a-Service provides customers with the ability to fulfill their obligations while enjoying additional benefits: secure email storage, constant availability, relief for the email server, self-service archive access for end-users, and a fast and powerful search function (including for file attachments).
While customer benefits certainly facilitate sales discussions, there are several reasons why Managed Service Providers (MSPs) should consider including email archiving in their portfolio.
