Compliant Email, Instant Messaging and Bloomberg Archiving

In today's litigious environment, financial services companies are struggling to deal effectively with:

• SEC, NASD and NYSE monitoring and supervision requirements
• SEC Rule 17 and CFTC retention requirements for e-mail and IM
• An ever-increasing volume of discovery requests
• The exponential growth in e-mail storage costs throughout the company

UK Hedge Fund Managers with more than 15 US-based investors are now obliged to register with the SEC for compliance.

A common mistake that many firms commit is to attack each of these problems with a different point solution.  This piece meal approach results in duplicating software and maintenance costs and headaches - plus making it even harder to respond to broad and recurring discovery requests.
