Email Retention Policies

 

 

Exchange Online, which comes bundled with Office 365 , has a very unique feature for Email compliance and Management . It is called Retention Policies.

Exchange Online offers two types of policies: archive policies and delete policies. Both types can be combined on the same item or folder. For example, a user can tag an email message to be automatically moved to the In-Place Archive in a specified number of days and deleted after another span of days.

In a modern world, our modes of Communication have multiplied. On an average work day , we use a combination of Phone, text chat , video conferencing solution , email , Online meetings , etc. Its safe to assume that Communication costs are a Big Ticket item in the Operating Costs for any Organization.

Social, Mobility , Analytics, Cloud ( SMAC) adoption by Indian SME’s

 

As a Technology Consultant and Cloud Evangelist, I work extensively with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). My definition of an SME is a company with 10 to 500 users — a user being someone who employs IT. In my opinion, Indians SMEs differ from Enterprise Customers in their approach to using technology. Indian SMEs rely heavily on their IT partners for technology adoption, unlike Enterprise Customers where CIO-led IT teams manage it.

I have recently authored an article which has appeared in “CIO Research Centre” , an online Publication for Indian CIO’s where I have laid down my thoughts on how an Indian Small and Mid sized company can adopt latest IT Technologies .

The full article appears in the following link : http://cioresearchcenter.com/2015/03/new-age-technology-for-indian-smes/

Office 365 Cloud Service comes bundled with many features which are focused on Compliance and Security . One of such features is Data Loss Prevention or DLP for short . The focus of this feature is to minimize loss of crucial Data which would otherwise be leaked out by internal people.

Office 365 supports various policies which can ensure that if the outgoing message does not comply with the policies, it would either be a) blocked b) warning message is given but message is not blocked c) message routed to internal auditor before being released .
