AHA Endorsement:

Email Archiving

"It took fewer than five minutes to do what used to take me almost four business days to do manually. That’s because Archive Manager totally automated the process. I needed a way to quickly gather and organize data for the compliance or legal folks, and now I can do that." —Josh Dailey, Systems Administrator, Palmetto Health, SC

Today’s health care organizations are faced with growing concerns about safeguarding private patient information to comply with regulations and internal policies. Consequently, retaining email messages and attachments has become critical.

Why We Endorsed Email Archiving from Quest

Many email archiving solutions require a concurrent purchase of supporting systems or hardware in order to achieve the desired functionality. Quest’s Archive Manager is easily implemented and has consistently presented a requirement of less of a hardware investment resulting in lower overall cost while still providing similar functionality as competing systems. Quest also provides a greater level of scalability and flexibility with their solution than other solutions reviewed. Another factor playing into the endorsement of Archive Manager was the overall ease of use for all users of the system. Throughout our evaluations/discussions Archive Manager was repeatedly described as very simple to use and not requiring a high level of administration. It is this very feature that will allow organizations to pull value from it by reducing the amount of time spent by the IT department on managing email systems, while simultaneously requiring little to no administration of the archiving system itself.
