When migrating email journals, it is crucial to preserve all info & correctly map it into the destination platform.
BCC recipients must be preserved for eDiscovery so everyone ’party’ to an email thread is included to avoid regulatory & litigation fines.

Corporate investment in Microsoft 365 eliminates old on-premise solutions used just for email journal archives (Enterprise Vault,Mimecast) in favour of Office 365. Relocating journals for compliance is cost-effective for retention & eDiscovery of email.

Arctera customers & resellers have concerns re throttling. Organisations are wise to evaluate the commercial & operational implications of the acquisition now rather than wait until renewal.

In a merger/acquisition, email archive migration should be in the acquisition plan, not a clean-up exercise. Managing multiple archiving migration platforms with conflicting retention rules, duplicate identities & overlapping journal records creates legal & security risks.
Before you migrate,decommission,make a decision on Mimecast, consider the pros/cons:
- Cost-effectiveness on Microsoft 365
- Advanced AI-driven compliance
- SME - ease of use
- Vendor flexibility

We are independent, UK based data management and email archive migration specialists. Great customer feedback on our consultants’ expertise and commitment to exceeding expectations is our byword for enterprise organisations, many FTSE 100.
If your archive isn’t part of your cloud security strategy, it could be quietly undermining it. Older on-premise solutions for email journal archives (e.g. Enterprise Vault and Mimecast) are used much less with migration to future-proof solutions, like Microsoft 365.
Arctera customers are asking us for archive exit assessments since the acquisition due to:
• Licence changes
• Increased pricing
• Greater focus on large enterprise customers
• Changes to channel strategy
• No focus on smaller customers & partners
