Standards for civil litigation such as the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure (FRCP), industry regulations, privacy acts, evolving case law and freedom of information acts require that more and more e-mail be preserved for longer periods of time.
Surveys show that 50% of corporations have been involved in a legal dispute involving email. If your organization has not been asked to search email, chances are good that it will. Email is widely used as evidence by the courts.

Messaging data continues to grow at exponential rates. According to the Radicati Group (Sept 2006), the average corporate e-mail user generates about 16.4 MB per day; this is expected to grow to over 21.4 MB per user per day in 2010. The size of messaging stores, coupled with increasing litigation, puts organizations at greater risk.
You and your company may be required to provide email records as quickly as 24 to 48 hours. If you rely on simple search tools, backup tapes, and manual processes to retrieve email you face an expensive, time-consuming process. If you cannot produce all relevant emails in a timely fashion, the results can be costly compensatory and punitive damages reaching millions of dollars.
Businesses need to control growth and costs of storing Exchange data, while also being able to respond efficiently and effectively to legal discovery actions.
