Email Archiving in the Steel Industry - Cognor Chooses MailStore Server
MailStore's professional email archiving solutions are used in various industrial sectors by many companies around the world. One of these companies is Cognor Holding S.A. Cognor is part of a listed capital group operating in the steel industry. The company, founded in 1991, initially focused on the trade of steel products. Since 1997, it has been traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW), and in 2006, it became part of an industrial group engaged in steel factory operations and metal scrap trading. When global access meets the volume of information and data received daily in employees' mailboxes, the company was driven to implement an email archiving solution by the end of 2022.
MailStore Server Convinces During Testing
Cognor looked at several email archiving solutions, but the company's requirements for the software meant that only two archiving solutions progressed to the testing phase. After the free trial phase, the decision was made in favor of MailStore Server. In addition to an appropriate license price, the decision was primarily based on factors such as ease of application in the existing IT infrastructure, quick and simple configuration, as well as open and intuitive software management. Other convincing aspects included an open and intuitive web interface for employees, as well as comprehensive technical documentation for the software. MailStore Server gained more appreciation with its ability to integrate with many different email clients and the option to move to a more powerful email server in the future.
Reasons for Using Professional Email Archiving Software
The email archiving solution aimed to ensure legal security in compliance with laws regarding the storage of data contained in emails. For this reason, Cognor chose to implement the archiving method of journaling as a way to prevent the loss and manipulation of corporate data. Additionally, the company aimed to reduce the load on email servers by deleting archived emails from user mailboxes. In fact, this helped solve another problem, namely employees increasingly changing their email data into PST files to deal with issues related to full mailboxes. Reducing the load on mailboxes eliminated the need to use a file format prone to errors. Existing PST files were transferred to the archive.
Conclusions
Cognor's example shows that email archiving solutions are meaningful not only in highly regulated sectors such as health and finance but also in manufacturing (in this case, the steel industry). If national legislators later impose requirements for storing email data related to business operations, a professional email archiving solution becomes necessary.
