Privacy Networks Offers Free Email Archiving through its "Student Safety" Licensing Offering Program

Fort Collins, Colorado (PRWEB) January 29, 2008 -- Privacy Networks, the email solutions company, today announced they have made their industry leading PrivacyVault solution available for free for students of subscribing school districts. School districts have been barraged by an onslaught of management headaches that arise from the need to archive, search and retrieve communications that are hosted by the district. The need to meet open records requests, protect students from improper email attacks and abuse, and ease of management are causing school districts to spend large amounts of time and money to address these burgeoning issues.

Privacy Networks shares the concern that all schools face in today's digital world. Email has become an essential tool in enhancing communications through the educational process. Now more than ever, administration and faculty rely on the use of email as a fast, efficient and effective tool for all facets of the educational process. Typical school districts have 4 to 5 times as many students as they have faculty and staff. By offering Privacy Networks licenses free of charge to those districts that purchase licenses for their faculty and staff, school districts can now afford to manage the entire districts' email archive and search needs. This archive provides school district officials with a tool to monitor all student email traffic for appropriate use or concerning content.

"Using Privacy Networks' email archive software has been a tremendous improvement managing the content of email and responding to requests," said Keith Ouweneel, Director of Technology, Weld County School District RE-1, "We have truly enhanced our ability to serve the students, faculty, parents and the community.

"At Privacy Networks we are proud to be an essential and trusted partner to educators and students, We feel it is our duty to help school districts protect and better manage the student's email," noted Steve Berens, President and CEO of Privacy Networks. "We are excited to offer school districts this free of charge offering to bring the benefits of our software to their entire student base without the districts incurring additional costs in increasingly tight budget cycles."

The majority of organizations critical information is contained within their email inboxes. School districts are facing the challenge of retaining, searching and archiving this key digital asset. Accelerating the need for email archiving are the recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCPs) as well as the expanding State and local regulations regarding open records. All organizations are now impacted if they cannot retrieve the content housed within email in a rapid and simple manner.

Privacy Networks' products are specifically designed to support all the major email platforms (Exchange, Domino, and GroupWise) by simplifying the way email is captured, stored, indexed and retrieved. As a result, customers are able to implement a solution quickly and drastically reduce their costs over time. PrivacyVault is an email archiving solution that provides users with a simple search engine for all their email. Finding and retrieving any email or attachment is now as easy as a search on the Internet. Searches can be performed for a single PrivacyVault user retrieving their email or an administrator searching across an entire organization's email.
