What Is Journaling And How Is It Different Than Archiving?

Journaling is simply the ability to record all the electronic communications of a company.  By using Microsoft Outlook and our hosted Exchange service as your corporate email solution, all of your incoming, outgoing, and internal email which passes through our system is copied to a spare mailbox.  All emails are retained until they are deleted. 

Journaling is often used for internal auditing purposes such as monitoring employee-client communication or preventing employees from distributing resumes on company time.  It can not be used to meet regulatory compliance requirements because these emails can easily be altered and destroyed.
