To begin, recognize that email generates enormous — and growing — data volumes. Basic email features such as cc:s and attachments present daunting challenges to organizations that need to meet regulatory compliance requirements or simply control their storage growth. Cloud-based email services change the way organizations provide email, but not the need to coherently manage and safeguard the data it generates. To manage email storage more effectively, companies should consider cloud-native archiving solutions but must also revisit archiving policies to align them with current legal and compliance requirements for retention and accessibility. In addition, seek ways to automate more email management tasks and plan to go beyond email, integrating archiving for content generated by collaborative communications tools such as Microsoft Teams.
