Retain provides a complete solution for meeting the archiving requirements of hundreds to thousands of users. From flexible platforms choices, database support, integration with Document Management Systems that provide archiving for non email based data, Retain delivers the capabilities you will need as your requirements and archives grow.

Retain leverages scalable database systems such as MySQL and planned support for Oracle and MS SQL. This ensures that as your data requirements grow Retain can adapt to your needs and grow as your archive grows. Unlike other solutions that use file based storage which are limited by file system storage, the database system of Retain takes advantage of technology that was built to store the massive amounts of data that can be found within GroupWise.

GroupWise delivers unparalleled flexibility in platform choices and Retain mirrors that flexibility by allowing you to deploy the architecture on your existing technology without needing to support additional operating systems. Whatever direction your technology decisions take you, Retain will adapt to your needs.

It is important to store information but being able to quickly search through that archive for the information you need. Leveraging the SOAP protocol, Retain stores additional information about email messages that aren't found in other solutions allowing searching on all extended information found within GroupWise such as message status.

While you may want to archive all information, being able to define policies to archive only the information and types of content that you want. Policies can be defined to archive information based on content, location, and other characteristics.

In deploying a centralized archiving solution, you will need to pull information from personal archives that may be scattered across the organization. Retain includes tools that enable end users to "unarchive" information from these individual archives to populate your central system.

Many times archives are deployed for information that includes documents stored on the file system and other areas. Document Management Systems like OpenText provide these capabilities. The ability to have a single archive that spans information regardless of its original format can be critical. Retain provides the ability to store information in these central archives.

To ease the support and deployment burdens your organization will have to manage, Retain uses a web based management and access interface that simplifies your training, support and doesn't require applications to be installed on each desktop within your organization.

Unlike other email archiving solutions that capture mail via SMTP, Retain was built with a deep understanding of GroupWise that ensures that you capture all email by leveraging RetentionFlags. Retain, by leveraging the SOAP protocol, also captures all unique GroupWise information such as message status.
