Orchestria Adds Additional Intelligence to the Archive Through Licensing Agreement with Symantec.

Agreement Meets Demand for More Intelligent Archiving Capabilities to Manage Electronic Communication Growth

NEW YORK -- Orchestria, a leader in Electronic Communication Control (ECC), announced today that Symantec has licensed its Orchestria Smart Tagging technology for use with Symantec Enterprise Vault. By categorizing and prioritizing every electronic communication, Orchestria adds flexible policy management options to help joint customers implement intelligent and cost-effective archiving solutions to grapple with the explosive growth of electronic communication.

As organizations strive to manage the increasing communication, they must learn to do so amidst new regulations, corporate directives, and legal mandates which require new levels of intelligence and sophistication for archiving.

Companies need solutions that can flag relevant messages for archiving and accurately classify and store messages to ensure fast search and retrieval. Orchestria's Smart Tagging technology helps Symantec Enterprise Vault customers bring these capabilities to their archive environments. It will also allow them to specify key storage parameters based on content and context and then understand precisely what has been stored in the archive for future retrieval purposes.

"Because of business drivers and the volume of messages, all electronic communication cannot simply be stored in 'a black box' and left for regulators, litigators and internal auditors to access as necessary. It is now essential for organizations to understand what messages are being sent to determine what should be archived and for how long," said Brian Babineau, an analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. "This relationship provides customers with a new vehicle to more fully control their archive and help streamline IT operations."

"Recently, global organizations have come under fire for their inability to produce electronic communication when required to do so, underscoring the need for smarter archiving," said Bo Manning, CEO of Orchestria. "This agreement with Symantec will allow Orchestria to tap into new markets and geographic regions by providing a high level of intelligence to the archive that closely maps to the business requirements of organizations in a wide-range of industries."

Orchestria Smart Tagging applies highly accurate policy and analyzes every message as it enters the archive. Using its understanding of the content and context of each message, Orchestria categorizes every electronic communication into pre-assigned categories.

Key benefits provided by Orchestria Smart Tagging:

* Accurate categorization using customizable classifications

* Ability to implement a wide range of detection policies for accurate tagging

* Tagging of messages before they are sent to the archive

* Time savings with the Orchestria pre-built policy for tagging classifications

* Ability to set a retention period based on category to optimize storage capacity

By optimizing the archiving process and accelerating record retrieval, Orchestria's unique approach to archiving can produce savings in message storage, access, and retrieval.

"The sheer volume of electronic communication via email and instant messaging is staggering," said Nick Mehta, Vice President Product Management, Information Foundation at Symantec. "Orchestria's Smart Tagging technology gives our customers the unprecedented ability to categorize and prioritize their mountains of data for quick retrieval when they need it."
