London, UK – 23 June 2008 – GFT inboxx, the email archiving specialist, has today announced that leading UK analyst house, Butler Group, has commended its archiving solution – stating that it meets and addresses many corporate issues pertaining to regulatory compliance, e-discovery and litigation support.

Crucially, the report highlighted that the GFT inboxx solution can be deployed in a short time frame.

Butler Group’s review of GFT inboxx, conducted by Information Management Practice Director Richard Edwards, is contained within a recent Butler Group Technology Audit – an independent report which assesses a vendor’s current product portfolio and its overall suitability in the marketplace.
GFT inboxx enables businesses and service providers to set enterprise-wide standards in archiving electronic correspondence. Both incoming and outgoing e-mails and attachments are securely stored and archived – either manually or using rules-based criteria – for quick and easy retrieval using GFT inboxx's intelligent, full-text search. GFT inboxx provides a stable, scalable solution that is easy to install and dramatically reduces storage requirements by reducing each e-mail to a 2kb link and removing multiple copies of attachments.

“We were impressed with GFT inboxx’s market proposition,” said Richard Edwards, Information Management Practice Director at Butler Group. “In today’s day and age organisations require a robust archiving solution that not only provides end users, auditors and corporate legal teams with the ability to quickly and easily retrieve any email – but also one that accommodates a broad set of compliance regulations.”

“With so many companies competing in this space, GFT inboxx’s solution scores well on the capabilities required of an e-mail archiving solution,” continued Edwards. “Its experience in the European market means that it has a good understanding of the national and international compliance requirements – something which is lacking in some of its US counterparts. Overall GFT inboxx’s archiving product is a good solution and addresses the core archiving needs well.”
