LiveOffice,
the leading provider of software-as-a-service
(SaaS) email
archiving, email
hosting and email
continuity solutions, today announced the availability of its
LiveOffice Mail Archive plugin
for Spiceworks’s community of more than 700,000 information technology
(IT) professionals. While Spiceworks is the first to provide the IT
industry with free network management software, LiveOffice is the first
to provide its community members with a free plugin for email archiving.
This application helps users better manage their messaging environments
and eliminates the need for mailbox quotas and PST file storage, while
also ensuring that email is always accessible and available with a
built-in continuity feature.
“LiveOffice automates the email archiving setup and implementation
process, which is traditionally an enormous operational burden for
customers wanting to save messages for extended periods of time,” said
Brian Babineau, senior analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).
“They’ve put an easy-to-use, turnkey archiving solution at the
fingertips of IT professionals worldwide, providing a variety of
organizations with the opportunity to experience the benefits of email
archiving firsthand without any sort of long-term commitment.”
How It Works
With a simple, five-click installation process, LiveOffice Mail Archive
plugin users are up and archiving in hours, rather than weeks or months
— without ever speaking to a customer service agent. Once installation
of the plugin is complete, your network administrator enables journaling
on the Microsoft Exchange Server to begin archiving messages and
attachments. In addition to the monitoring capabilities provided by
Spiceworks, the plugin adds a visual representation of what’s taking
place in your email archive through the use of a dynamic pie chart. It
displays the total size of your archive, the total number of emails
archived and an individual breakdown of archive consumption per user.
End users also have the option to deploy a fully integrated web folder
that resides in their existing Microsoft Outlook client and enables them
to instantly search and restore old emails and attachments stored in the
archive. Plus, users with administrative rights have the ability to
create policy alerts based on specific keywords, monitor phrase
violations and tag emails for further review and/or investigation.
"We're thrilled to have the LiveOffice Mail Archive plugin available to
the 700,000 Spiceworks small business IT pros,” said Scott Abel,
co-founder and CEO of Spiceworks. “It’s a great way to help them tap
into the power of archiving, storage and continuity services in the
cloud — all from within their daily workflow in Spiceworks."
Pricing & Availability
The LiveOffice Mail Archive plugin is available through Spiceworks at no
charge for the first five users. Organizations looking to archive more
than five users can contact LiveOffice directly for more information and
pricing.
