Yesterday morning, Dexmar Ltd announced the release of a collaborative email archiving solution for Lotus Notes and Domino.  Named Dexmar E2M, the system enables organizations to manage emails using defined business processes.  This process is quite extensive as it not only determines what is archived and how it is indexed, it also considers how long the mail is retained based on its value to the business.

Dexmar also claims that once organizations have implemented their system, they will store less email data and retain it for a shorter period of time.  This will reduce the cost of managing email data, and by ensuring these companies only store necessary business information, legal and compliance risk can also be reduced.

So far, Dexmar E2M has already been approved by the UK National Archives, which can provide some reassurance that this system uses good practices for records management.
