The challenge

Marubeni needed to archive its Microsoft Exchange Online e-mails to comply with regulatory information retention and eDiscovery requirements. However, the native archiving, search and eDiscovery functions of Exchange Online did not meet Marubeni’s overall goals for email preservation, nor its performance requirements for rapid, narrowly focused searches and cost-effective eDiscovery case management.

The outcome

Efficient eDiscovery with high-speed search and multiple simultaneous searches, reduced compliance burden and risk, proof of support for corporate ethos of “persistent pursuit of fairness”, and increased chance of expanding archiving to other companies in the group.
