Data Security

Each day, millions of business documents are shared electronically via email, access, portals, instant messaging, extranets…these communications are considered secure when stored within corporate repositories or an intranet. But electronic documents can be unnoticeably opened, copied and forwarded anywhere without a trace. A large portion of this data is intended to be hidden or restricted. When revealed, it can lead to security breaches and policy risks through the accidental or malicious release of proprietary information, exposure of customer data or compromise of employee information.
 
Email Archiving and Retrieval

As electronic content keeps growing exponentially, so too does the amount and importance of email. Companies are required by law and regulation to treat the storage and retrieval of email with no less criticality than that of any other records of business. In all aspects of Electronic Records Management, compliant Email Archive/Retrieval solutions must keep pace as discovery costs and regulatory burdens keep increasing. A solution needs to be cost-effective, demonstrating a Return on Investment that fulfills the critical business drivers relating to Legal, Compliance, Security, Storage and Productivity requirements associated with email.
 
Document Management

Businesses are buried in electronic content. For some companies, this is literally the case with their paper-based hard copy records. Customer profiles, purchase orders, employee records, financial reports, forms, scanned invoices and contracts are generated every day throughout an organization. As the digital quantity grows exponentially, processes become strained, documents are lost, access permissions become unmanageable, printing and storage costs skyrocket, and decisions are made based on inaccurate, outdated information. Croop in conjunction with CloudDOCX delivers enterprise-class document management applications as a service, performing all key Records Management functions.
