Messaging Architects Shares How Email Destruction Policies Discourage Pack Rats
HOBOKEN, N.J., July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and email policy consultant, shares important information to reduce the problem of email pack rats in a new article on the Messaging Architects website.
The informative article first reviews how email pack rats account for 80% of retained email data, why they do it, and the need for effective email destruction policies. The author then poses four questions organizations can use to evaluate their email policy. He concludes by discussing how to create an effective email destruction policy that will minimize email costs and liability.
"What we have seen is that some email users keep everything forever," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "They go to great lengths to preserve data by saving it to archives and text files, forwarding it to personal accounts and in some cases backing up their local devices."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Email Destruction Policies Discourage Pack Rats."
Email Destruction Policies Needed
"Over time, the company's data storage begins to resemble the hoarder's house with magazines, old mail, and unused purchases stacked to the ceiling. Swimming in old email data, the company must first determine what is has and then create an effective policy for destroying it."
Create an Effective Email Retention/Destruction Policy
"To create an effective policy, email experts recommend that you start with the regulatory retention requirements. Then, divide the data into categories to avoid setting the maximum legal retention period for everything. And omit from the policy any provisions that you don't intend to enforce."
Minimize Email Costs and Liability
"Your finished policy provides a guide for the organization on how to destroy aging email intentionally and permanently. Otherwise, retaining it increases your storage and discovery costs. The final email deletion should be irreversible."
Email Policy Experts
The email pack rats who save everything exist in many organizations. Business leaders engage Messaging Architects to help clean up the mess and minimize storage costs and liability going forward.
