The primary purpose for procuring an e-mail archiving solution is to obtain robust e-discovery, storage,
and search and retrieval capabilities for achieving state and federal legal compliance regarding
retention, selection, retrieval, and evidentiary procedural requirements that involve e-mail
communications to and from state employees, which are responsive to litigation-related matters,
investigations, and public records requests. Other uses, such as disaster recovery, business research,
historical archives, etc., are important, but secondary in priority.
