Leveraging instant messaging and collaboration platforms, users can connect, schedule, meet, chat, call, share, document, and more. These communication tools help us work efficiently and collaboratively. The modern-day “office” is, wherever we are! Location is no longer an obstacle to communication. While this is great progress for the workforce bringing with it many benefits to productivity and work-life balance, it does pose a problem for HR, IT, Legal, and Compliance teams that need to manage remote workers and all these new data sources.

Archiving, whether on-premises or in the cloud, has become a standard workplace practice. Whether it be for monitoring employee activities, complying to industry regulations or managing legal matters, archiving business communications and records is an integral part of risk management. Financial firms have a longer history of compliance regulations that have required archiving and supervision of various types of books and records. As other industries transition to remote work, they are adopting many of the same policies used in financial firms to ensure their corporate data is being properly managed.


Alta Archiving, Alta Capture, Enterprise Vault, and Merge1, with multiple options for deployment and delivery, all your data is managed securely in a unified archive to be managed with next-generation policies and procedures.


Simplify Your Information Governance Strategy

It's no small task to manage and govern all of your business content. Not only is the amount of data that businesses manage increasing exponentially, but the complexity of regulations across every major regulated industry are also growing too. To top it all off, failing to comply with ever-evolving policies can lead to costly fines and lawsuits.

There's no time like the present to simplify your governance program. Legacy systems are expensive and difficult to use. Manual processing is far too time-consuming. It doesn't have to be this hard.
