Why communication archiving matters?

Every day, your teams generate a flood of communication: emails, chat messages, social media posts, collaboration threads. And whether you’re in finance, healthcare, government, or beyond, you’re responsible for capturing and managing it all. If your archiving system can’t keep up with evolving regulations or growing data volumes, you're exposed to serious risk. Compliance violations, audit failures, or legal disputes can mean real financial and reputational damage.

How Business Communication Archive works

  • The platform captures inbound, outbound, and internal messages—including emails, chats, videos, and posts—from sources like Microsoft Teams, Slack, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter). This data is reformatted into standardized, searchable records and stored in a cloud-based, WORM-compliant archive.

  • Customizable retention policies help organizations meet regulatory requirements and reduce storage bloat. Legal holds and advanced search capabilities allow authorized users to quickly locate and preserve relevant records. With SimplyShare, users can securely transmit selected data to external auditors, HR, or legal counsel, no need for external drives or risky SFTP links.

  • The result: faster investigations, stronger compliance posture, and reduced legal risk.
