The value added distributor has been appointed by Global Relay Communications Inc, a premier provider of outsourced message management solutions, to distribute the Message Archiver solution in the UK and Europe.

Archiving email for regulatory and compliance reasons is key, but also enabling staff to find and retrieve email communications in seconds - potentially from over a very long period - is also extremely important. The terrible attacks in London on July 7th 2005 have also focused business leaders minds on the need for disaster recovery planning of business critical email in particular.

“We are delighted to be working with such an innovative company as Global Relay" says Mike Paffard, Sales Director, Softek. "We have been searching for a comprehensive message archiving solution for over a year. Having looked at many solutions we found the unique Message Archiver solution to fit perfectly with our best-of-breed philosophy".

"We have noticed an increasing demand in the UK and Europe for a high performance, easy-to use archiving solution," explains Global Relay CEO, Warren Roy. "Softek is an experienced, leading distributor of corporate information security solutions and services, with excellent technical skills and a broad network of Reseller Partners. That experience ensures that we will achieve rapid business growth in the UK and Europe."

"The beauty of a hosted archiving solution is clear. There is no hardware or software to purchase or install, the systems integrate with all email platforms, and the service can be setup in within an hour. With appropriate access rights, search, retrieval and monitoring can be performed from any secure web browser from anywhere in the world." said Thompson.

"Security of data is of course paramount to customers" continued Thompson, "All messages are sent to the archive over an encrypted connection, the messages themselves are dual-encrypted, before being written to huge arrays of storage at multiple worldwide data centres. A full audit trail is provided, and for authenticity purposes, data is also written to tamperproof WORM tapes dedicated to each customer."
