American Fidelity Assurance Insures Compliance with IntelliReach's MessageArchive; IntelliReach Doubles its Number of Email Archiving Customers in Less than One Year.

DEDHAM, Mass. -- IntelliReach Corporation, the email lifecycle management company, today announced American Fidelity Assurance Company has installed and implemented IntelliReach's MessageArchive product for email archival, retention, compliance and management.

American Fidelity Assurance sells annuity products that fall under SEC and NASD regulatory guidelines which dictate that organizations establish formal email archival, retention and management procedures. After conducting a comprehensive examination of the regulations and identifying specific requirements, American Fidelity Assurance selected IntelliReach's MessageArchive to achieve the mandated compliance.

"Our business managers are responsible for ensuring compliance, and after thorough review of the requirements and the product solutions available, they determined MessageArchive was the clear choice," said David Kopisch, technical services manager at American Fidelity Assurance. "MessageArchive delivered everything we needed to meet compliance, including guaranteed email capture, automatic archive to optical media, auditor access and management review facilities. It's a comprehensive solution transparent to the users on the system."

As a new customer, American Fidelity Assurance is one of dozens of organizations that have chosen IntelliReach for their email archiving needs. "Our customers are voting with their dollars--purchasing our MessageArchive solution to handle difficult compliance, discovery and storage management issues," said Lance Urbas, President and CEO at IntelliReach. "With the number of MessageArchive customers doubling in the past 10 months, IntelliReach has clearly distinguished itself as one of the leading providers of enterprise-class email archiving."

IntelliReach's MessageArchive is an effective email archiving solution that allows IT managers to get a handle on email storage and compliance management. It provides the following key features:

--Efficient single-instance storage 

--Integration with Novell GroupWise, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes/Domino and other SMTP-based email systems

--"Smart" indexing techniques with natural language processing 

--Scalability to thousands of users in a single archive

--Fully standards-based architecture

MessageArchive allows companies like American Fidelity Assurance to secure, capture and index corporate data and intellectual property through a centralized, policy-based archive, and search and retrieve emails quickly and easily through a secure, permission-based Web interface. It enhances email's value as a corporate asset by creating a fully searchable knowledgebase of all messages that can reduce email storage costs by up to 90%.

American Fidelity Assurance implemented MessageArchive for their employees who need to comply with SEC and NASD regulations--nearly 1/3 of the more than 1,400 users on their GroupWise 6.5 system. David Kopisch further commented, "MessageArchive is so easy to use at the client-level, requiring almost no user training to get started. We are looking now to expand our use of the product by archiving all users on the system. It does an excellent job of meeting all our compliance needs."

MessageArchive is available through IntelliReach's professional sales organization and network of channel partners. For more information, contact IntelliReach via phone at: 781.410.3000, via email at: [e-mail], or on the Web at: www.intellireach.com.
