Talk the talk

Brendan Nolan, chief executive of email management specialist Waterford Technologies, talks to David Clerkin.

The demand for email archiving is being mainly driven by two things - regulation and storage management. Many legal cases today are using email for proof of evidence. A company’s ability to produce evidence or defend itself using email evidence is very dependent on how they retain email and how easily it can be retrieved if necessary.
