MessageSolution provides following core technologies for Microsoft Partners:

Enterprise Archiving Suite for Exchange, File System and SharePoint: As a Microsoft Gold Partner, MessageSolution delivered the first in the market Exchange 2010 Web Services integrated archiving platform at Microsoft WinConnections in November 2009. MessageSolution Enterprise Email Archive operates within an organization’s network firewalls and connects to the Exchange server via WebDAV or CDO to capture and archive email based on the company preferred settings. Emails are captured, compressed and de-duplicated using single instance storage (SIS) prior to being archived. This process reduces the storage requirements of the archiving server by an average of 75%. The realtime mailbox management feature reduces Exchange information storage for over 90% by creating a transparent link in the user mailbox.

The Enterprise File System and SharePoint Archives are built in the same UI with the email archiving system and built onto the same hardware server configuration, providing the system administrator a conveniently centralized administration console to manage and operate all email, file document and SharePoint archiving/eDiscovery tasks. The end user is able to conveniently review and search his/her own personal archive for email, file and SharePoint file with one UI.

Enterprise eDiscovery Platform for Email, File System, SharePoint: MessageSolution eDiscovery Platform key features include: Case Management, Early Case Assessment, Culling, Legal Review, Litigation Hold, Collaboration and Data Redaction. The eDiscovery Platform is fully integrated with MessageSolution Enterprise Archive, which pinpoints, captures and retrieves email, file, SharePoint file on or offline for live court presentation or deposition process, and places Litigation Hold on all archived emails and file documents throughout entire organization. MessageSolution eDiscovery Platform streamlines data collection for email and file from Exchange, File servers and SharePoint environments for processing, analysis, cull-down, and review phases of eDiscovery for legal cases. Legal team uses the eDiscovery system’s culling capabilities to prune large datasets to much smaller and more relevant ones.

Legal counsel and corporate compliance officer can also utilize the built-in Data Redaction function to fully prepare organizations for further document processing in a legal proceeding, to enable organizations to meet civil litigation process, HIPAA, PHI, PHI and PCI-DSS compliance requirements for custodians’ privacy protection and to activate an automated leak-prevention protocol for corporate intelligence protection in an external audit process. First among all enterprise archiving providers in the market MessageSolution Enterprise eDiscovery Platform offers Data Redaction function, while other market archiving providers still need to partner with a special eDiscovery vendor to offer its data redaction solution, with a raised cost yet not able to provide a streamlined solution performance and technical support.

MessageSolution Multi-Tenant Archiving Platform for Microsoft Hosted Exchange: Compatible with Microsoft Multi-Tenant Hosted Exchange, MessageSolution’s multi-tenant Archiving Platform allows managed service providers (MSP) or educational school districts to deliver a centralized archiving system on a cost-effective single hardware configuration with multiple archives and administration roles for organizations with their own individual archives. Leveraging MessageSolution’s top industry scalability records, MSP partners are able to archive tens of thousands users on a single server to minimize hardware cost and to efficiently leverage MSP’s existing service-hosting capacity and datacenter infrastructure to provide SME and organizations around the world a cost-effective yet feature-rich archiving and eDiscovery solution. Multiple school districts have also successfully deployed MessageSolution Multi-Tenant Archiving Platform with a single archiving system to offer dozens of school districts with their own separated archives, hence each school district has its own archive to meet the compliance and eDiscovery requirements.

SharePoint Backup & Restore: The original Microsoft SharePoint built-in recovery tools require a separate recovery farm. When using these tools to recover items, the associated metadata - such as date, time stamps, the records of who checked-in the document - can be modified. The data integrity is not maintained with these built-in recovery tools in SharePoint environment. MessageSolution SharePoint Archive delivers granular level of restore functions including document, folder and site, with a secured and non-tampered data-processing methodology to preserve 100% data integrity.

PST File Management: Enterprise Email Archive contains a PST File Migration Utility that allows the administrator to import users’ local archive files into the network archive. Once PST files are in Enterprise Email Archive’s system, administrators can assign the PSTs to a repository or user. This is especially useful if an employee that has left the company, but management needs to retain that user’s PST files for use by another employee. PST File Export Utility would effectively assist legal team for a fast document collection under case-driven court mandates.

Outlook Integration: Enterprise Email Archive’s default archive access pathway is an intuitive web interface. However, Enterprise Email Archive Suite Edition offers additional archive access options, it integrates with users’ Outlook client via MSI Installer, allowing Enterprise Suite Edition users to access and search their archive conveniently from within their Outlook with a complete transparent user experience with no extra login or click. The Outlook Integration generates “0” footprint on Exchange server, consuming “0” resource on Exchange server and providing automated email server storage reduction, with only a tiny shot-cut link operating in user’s mailbox. The Outlook Integration also provides off line archive access, as well as mobile archive access from mobile devices such as BlackBerrys and PDAs.
