GWAVA, he leading provider of archiving, and eDiscovery for business electronic communication, is pleased to announce that it has been named as the only Challenger in the 2016 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving. GWAVA has advanced its position in the Magic Quadrant for the third consecutive year.

Gartner states, “As a Challenger in the 2016 Magic Quadrant, we believe that Retain provides organizations with an innovative feature set, including Retain’s ability to archive email, social media and mobile communication, in one central archive. Plus, Retain’s built-in tools for performing search and e-discovery, which allows organizations to ensure compliance, manage data, and quickly access and produce archived business communication.” Gartner also stated, “Enterprise information archiving incorporates products and solutions for archiving user messaging content (such as email, IM, and public and business social media data) and other data types (such as data stored in enterprise file synchronization and sharing).”

“With the continued evolution of information archiving, the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving is an essential resource for evaluating archiving solutions,” stated Ken Muir, CEO, GWAVA. He continued, “As a Challenger in the 2016 Magic Quadrant, we believe that Retain provides organizations with an innovative feature set, including Retain’s ability to archive email, social media and mobile communication, in one central archive. Plus, Retain’s built-in tools for performing search and e-discovery, which allows organizations to ensure compliance, manage data, and quickly access and produce archived business communication.”

Retain provides unified archiving of all business communication including email, social media, and mobile communication data for case assessment, search, and eDiscovery. It can be deployed on-prem or in the cloud. Our customer base consists of highly regulated industries like Government, Education, Healthcare and Financial Services. GWAVA provides solutions that exceed the archiving, compliance, and security demands for these organizations. This is critical to our customers, as many compliance standards and regulations cannot be met with the built in archiving solutions offered by Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, and Gmail.

In addition, Retain provides easy access to the archive for end users, administrators and other named users via the Web Access Archive Viewer, the Offline Viewer and the Retain Archive App. The Retain archive has built-in eDiscovery tools. Administrators, legal, human resources and other authorized users can use these tools to perform essential eDiscovery and regulatory functions. These include: simple or complex searches, placing litigation holds, print, forward, save, redact and export of messages.
