IntelliReach Adds Archiving to Email Management Suite with Release of MessageArchive 2.0

Partnership with BridgeHead Software allows IntelliReach to offer complete email management for corporations

Dedham, Mass, April 7, 2003 - IntelliReach Corporation, the leading provider of email management solutions, today announced the availability of IntelliReach MessageArchive 2.0, an effective, easy-to-use archiving solution that integrates with IntelliReach’s secure messaging, anti-virus and anti-spam solutions to deliver complete email management to corporations. IntelliReach is leveraging archiving technologies created by BridgeHead Software of Ashtead, England and Woburn, Mass.

“MessageArchive 2.0 is a significant addition for organizations trying to solve the email management puzzle,” said Michael Osterman, Founder and President of Osterman Research. “Organizations can now buy one offering from IntelliReach for secure messaging, anti-virus and anti-spam, and archiving. This will play well with IntelliReach’s target verticals, including healthcare, financial services, and government, and will allow them to take advantage of a fast-growing market segment.”

MessageArchive is designed to address email compliance and long-term storage management issues. Email storage needs are expected to grow at a rate of 30% per year, with corporations expected to receive more than 26 billion emails per day by 2005, according to IDC. In addition, some studies show that in the upcoming years, the average company of 3,000 users will create more than one terabyte of email data that will need to be captured, indexed, and stored in an easily retrievable format.

MessageArchive encrypts and digitally signs email upon capture and offers a full audit trail for compliance purposes. The solution allows permission-based search and retrieval via a Web browser for email knowledge management, and seamlessly integrates with all standard storage media for long-term storage management. The combination of these features establishes MessageArchive as the leader in the archiving marketplace.

“By integrating MessageArchive into our suite of email management solutions, IntelliReach’s customers will benefit from best-of-breed archiving that assures organizations are in compliance with email guidelines put forth by the SEC and NASD, and through HIPAA and the Freedom of Information Act,” said Sam Levine, President and CEO of IntelliReach. “Studies have shown that up to 60% of an organization’s intellectual property is stored in the email system, yet most organizations have no system in place to manage this corporate asset. MessageArchive helps organizations meet email compliance requirements, search and retrieve emails by subject, and significantly reduce long-term storage and management costs.”

“BridgeHead brings years of experience in storage management and the creation of scalable, effective solutions,” said Tony Cotterill, Managing Partner of BridgeHead Software. “This partnership marries our expertise with the email management focus of IntelliReach to produce MessageArchive, which meets the compliance and storage needs of today’s email administrators.”
