Email Journal Business Benefits

Seamless search and retrieval


One of the most significant benefits of the Cobweb Email Journal service is the ability to quickly and securely search through all emails and attachments within the Journal Store.

 

The search is powered by Autonomy IDOL server, providing fast response times when querying across large stores of email. The IDOL service indexes
messages and message attachments such as Microsoft Office Word documents, and at the point of archival the language of emails is automatically detected to optimise their indexing. Using the EAS Outlook plug-in, a single click is all that is required to seamlessly search and retrieve the original email from the Journal Store.

 

Storage

The Cobweb Email Journal service has unlimited storage available, and storage is automatically allocated to ensure that the service is not interrupted. This additional storage is added in 1GB blocks and will be added to your monthly invoice.

 

Journal security

The delivery of the Cobweb Email Journal service is controlled by Cobweb’s ISO27001 Information Security Management policies and procedures.

 

The security features of the Active Directory within Microsoft Windows Server and Exchange Server, and the security model of Autonomy ZANTAZ EAS, ensure that customer mailboxes are in their own unique segment of the service. No other customer has permissions or can see or access any other customer’s data.

 

Our state-of-the-art data centres are managed on a 24*7 basis by dedicated teams to ensure security, maximum reliability, system redundancy and high fault tolerance.

 

Network security at the data centre is fronted by multiple resilient firewalls. Security procedures involve constant monitoring of network traffic, router loading and application behaviour.
