Category: Education, Retain for Blackberry Success StoriesIs a total ban on texting for all your school’s BlackBerry® smartphones really the best answer to avoid an NCAA investigation? Could people be texting in spite of this ban? With Retain from GWAVA you not only can allow Text Messaging but you can embrace it.
The Retain Solution— Text Message Archiving
With Retain on your BlackBerry Enterprise Server,all BlackBerry PIN/SMS and Messenger text messages are archived. There is no software to install on the phones. It is completely transparent to your users. Run a report every month or so just to verify that no illegal texts have been sent. You only need to search for texts to specific numbers. All other messages remain private.
Security is the Key
With Retain, users cannot alter, adjust or delete any incoming or outgoing PIN/SMS/Messenger text messages or phone call usage data. What was sent, what was received and who was called is recorded even if the user deletes records on their BlackBerry smartphone. Retain also includes detailed rights management to help you limit access to user data based on security clearance.
Phone Call Archiving
Retain also archives phone call usage data so you can search for and run reports on specific phone numbers. Again, no invasion of privacy and no searching through pages and pages of cell phone statements.
Proof is in the Data
Retain locks up the data for privacy, but also lets you easily export text messages and phone usage data for compliance, legal or eDiscovery purposes into .xls, .pdf, and .xps formats. This same data can also be delivered to your email archive repository where you can use your existing forensics tools to monitor and conduct discovery for text information.
Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise Server will capture and monitor all PIN/SMS/Messenger text messages and phone usage data for every smartphone user on your BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Compliance is the Goal
“We are doing everything we can to stay NCAA-compliant with text messages and phone calls. The only way to say it and mean it is to have a system like Retain.” Steve Corder - Asst. Athletic Director for NCAA Compliance, University of Detroit Mercy
