Do you have customers in vertical markets that face heavy regulatory and compliance issues, perhaps in finance or the public sector?

Are you are already selling storage solutions to your customer base? Then you should be looking to attach Symantec Enterprise Vault 8.0 to your quotes or revisit these sales to explore the extended opportunity.

Grow your accounts horizontally. Delivery of an Enterprise Vault solution will not only extend your status as a trusted supplier, it also delivers scope to explore every aspect of your customers IT infrastructure and business processes, identifying extended IT opportunities at every stage in the project.

There’s no denying the increasing pressures that IT managers are facing when it comes to managing data in their business:

Large volumes of email and IM must be stored securely, efficiently and effectively as they contain as much as 75% of your customers intellectual property

Increasing demands around compliance, discovery and data searching mean you have to be able to find and retrieve data at all times without compromising its integrity

The costs attached to IT storage infrastructure seem to be spiraling but your customer is always under increased pressure to deliver more with less

Enterprise Vault 8.0 can help your customer achieve more than 60% savings on the costs of storing unstructured information such as email, instant messages and files. It does this via advances in data-deduplication, enhanced electronic discovery features and the energy cost savings delivered by an optimised storage infrastructure.

Challenge the use of .pst and .nsf files in your customer’s personal email accounts. Migrate these to a managed environment to effectively eradicate unmanaged personal store files and allow your customer to regain control of this information.

Reduce storage TCO with policy based archiving. Proactively manage stored information, moving less-frequently used information from expensive disk and archive to less costly storage mediums without compromising security, integrity and accessibility.

Use Granular Legal Hold to meet growing IT governance demands. This feature automatically suspends the deletion of archived data in response to an internal investigation, litigation or regulatory request. Preserve the emails, IM, files and SharePoint assets that relate to the individuals and groups relevant to each case.

These are just some of the business insights, key features and benefits that make Enterprise Vault 8.0 a compelling business proposition for your customers.
