Exposure
Email is still out of control, with 55% of organizations having little or no confidence that important emails are recorded, complete and retrievable.
Management of content types like SMS/text messages, blogs and wikis are largely off the corporate radar in 75% of organizations and their lack of inclusion in the corporate archive is a major risk.

Email Stats
On average, employees spend more than an hour and a half per day processing their emails,
with one in five spending three or more hours of their day. Every person in your organization spends 182 hours per year looking for lost electronic files. Fix that, and you’ve seriously improved your productivity.

Manual Classification: The Five Second Rule
Employees will spend up to five seconds manually classifying documents
Average documents per employee:150 messages, 25 files per day
Time component 175 documents per day X 5 seconds per document x 5 days per week = 1:12 hour per week per employee
Will employees retain seemingly hurtful documents?Assurance and defensibility of compliance

Where is your e-mail?

What is Email Archiving?
– Providing a system to efficiently keep a copy of all inbound, outbound and internal email messages
– Adding the ability for end users to quickly and easily search their own archives
– Adding the ability for administrators (HR, Legal…
etc.) to quickly and easily search the entire archive
![Page 11: Email Management & E-forms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012913/5552ca9eb4c90581158b4dcd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why Archive? A Vicious Cycle of Volume vs. Control A Vicious Cycle of Volume vs. Control
Increasing storage and back-up costs
Users forced to manage quota
Quota management often results in
growing PSTs (Outlook auto-
archive)
• PSTs difficult to discovery centrally
• Regulatory retention
schedules contribute to
further volume/ storage issues
![Page 12: Email Management & E-forms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012913/5552ca9eb4c90581158b4dcd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The problems with PSTs Compliance, cost, reliability Compliance, cost, reliability
IT Pro • Litigation hold can’t be enforced• PSTs cannot be easily discovered • Lost laptop results in exposure of PSTs• Backup/Recovery cost prohibitive
End User • Accessible on local machine only• Can’t get to PSTs when needed• PST corruptions increase on network share• As PSTs grow, stability lessens (>5GB)
![Page 13: Email Management & E-forms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012913/5552ca9eb4c90581158b4dcd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why should I Archive Email?
![Page 14: Email Management & E-forms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012913/5552ca9eb4c90581158b4dcd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Volume • As data volume grows, Outlook performance compromised• Mailbox quotas control volume but also encourage PSTs• PSTs add to further performance/management issues
Why Archive E-mail? Key drivers
Retention • Compliance adds to volume challenges • Regulations mandate specific retention periods for
relevant email (SOX = 5 years, SEC rules = 6 years, HIPAA = 5-6 years)
Discovery • Manual retrieval costs can be HUGE (backup tapes, PSTs) • FRCP Amendments (US) place strict timelines on
discovery• Amendments cover all email from all sources, including
PSTs

Legal Discovery
FRCP (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure)– Adopted in December 2006– Require production of all requested
electronic information within 90 days Completeness and cost
– Nothing deleted, lost, or changed– If all your email is in the archive, you
shouldn’t have to do desktop discoveries
Timeliness– You can search across your entire
archive and export all emails to a file in about a minute

Best Buy Stores vs. Developers Diversified Realty Corp.
Developers Diversified said that they did not have the resources to find all the required materials. In response, court ordered them to produce materials from 345 backup tapes in 28 days at an estimated cost of nearly $500,000 not including attorney fees

What are E-forms?
Electronic version of documents that collect data from end users
They are the front end of most business processes
Forms can be thought of as
the end user interface to
most applications

Construction Market Challenges
• Remote, decentralized operations• Frequent collaboration with third-parties (sub-contractors,
customers)• Ever-changing job codes• 90% of forms are hand-written (illegible, incomplete)• Frequent errors on forms• Slow cycle times• IT constraints
• Small budgets• Minimal systems infrastructure• Minimal computer skills• Limited expertise• Lack of mobile computing

Step OneDesign a Form
Step TwoDefine Behaviors
Step ThreeDescribe Workflow
Using our intuitive drag-n-drop forms design editor
Add intelligence to your form through definition of behaviors, which determine how your form will respond to user actions
Layout your workflow with this tool. Define how forms route and how notifications are sent.

How Does it Work?
Step FourDesign Reports
Step FiveLaunch it – No Coding!!!
Monitor your processes using an advanced reporting tool. Reports are live and dynamic.
Once the forms, behaviors, workflows, and reports are constructed. Launch your application. No coding required.
![Page 56: Email Management & E-forms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012913/5552ca9eb4c90581158b4dcd/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Form Design Features
Drag-n-drop objects from the toolbox to construct your form. Things like text boxes, buttons, checkboxes, drop downs, tables, lists, etc. Embed the form into existing web pages.
![Page 57: Email Management & E-forms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012913/5552ca9eb4c90581158b4dcd/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
This four page application can be used for employees to obtain approval for days off work. It has a database look-up to automatically populate the manager of the employee who is making the request. You can either remove the 'find my info' button or create a simple database to query.
![Page 58: Email Management & E-forms](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012913/5552ca9eb4c90581158b4dcd/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Behavior Features
Define the way that your form behaves like calculations, branching logic, or defining required fields. You can hide or show different fields based upon the users permissions. For example, a manager may want to read or write into certain fields that he/she wouldn’t want others to see or be able to change. Integrate with existing systems.

The project management application consists of 8 pages and includes a complex workflow. It is designed for managing projects from RFP through estimating, pricing, contract award, management, invoicing and project close. It demonstrates many input objects including text fields, radio buttons, check boxes, drop downs and file attachment. It shows how behavior functions operate, like notifications & escalations.

Data Capture Challenges: Timesheet
• Illegible handwriting• Coding errors and missing data• Difficult to disseminate code updates out to the field• Manual review and correction of timesheets at each stage
of process• Submission delays (FAX, mail, interoffice envelope)• Manual re-keying of data into Time & Attendance system
(keying errors)• No visibility into timesheet approval or payment status• No electronic record keeping

• Coding errors and missing data, follow-up is often required
• Information from application manually entered into LOB system
• Application manually evaluated and processed
• No central visibility into process / approval status
• Average cycle time: 2+ weeks
• Full Time Employees: 2

How is Archiving Different from Backups?
Backups are only a snapshot in time Difficult to retrieve emails in a timely manner Date range search often requires restoring
multiple backups No guarantee all emails are contained in
backups
