Microsoft
Microsoft has a variety of models and tiers available to choose from. Depending on the nature of your firm, you should seek the advice of a specialist. Also, if you're like most people and use Microsoft Office, ask about it. Having the ability to collaborate online while still saving your documents to SharePoint increases your overall productivity.

The Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving tools are the best with multiple Cloud capabilities which enables the smooth running of all the data processing projects and securing entire business data and easy transfer of any data size across the Cloud services. Archiving functions are also the effective ones with great data analytical capability.

Microsoft
  • Is included with exchange online plans at no extra cost, so why not use it?
  • Has helped solve some specific user requirements eg auto-delete emails older than a certain age, and auto move emails from certain folders after a period of time.
