For many organisations, email archiving is one of the least visible components of the IT estate. It quietly preserves information, supports compliance obligations and remains largely unnoticed until a regulatory request, legal investigation, migration programme or contract renewal brings it into focus.

Many organisations choose to delay their legacy archive migrations as they are a lot less straightforward compared to live email migrations.

Our first blog on the complexities of an archive migration covered chain-of-custody.
Email journals present another challenge.

This blog series explains some of the specific aspects that make migrations very complex.
We start with chain of custody: what is it and why is it so important in data migrations?
