Access your GroupWise data in one central location

Search, publish, and perform eDiscovery from one central location with Retain Archiving for GroupWise®. All your messaging data, including GroupWise email, tasks, folders, notes, calendar items, shared calendars, appointments, files, deleted items, and attachments is archived into one unified archive. This makes accessing and searching your archived GroupWise data fast and easy.

Access your GroupWise data in one central location

A controllable, compliant system

The GroupWise personal archive only creates user-level archives and does not create a system-wide archive. This archive cannot be published for eDiscovery and cannot be accessed and searched from a central location. This puts your organization at risk for data loss and compliance violations. Retain Archiving for GroupWise supports SmartPurge technology and provides you the system-wide archiving, search, publishing, and eDiscovery tools to help ensure your data archive is complete and compliant.

"Retain is a very good archiving program. If you’re running GroupWise, why would you use anything else? It is economical. It works reliably. Plus, you don’t have to be an expert to use it."
