Why preserve the email data of former employees?
In a rapidly digitizing world, more than 80% of business-critical data is unstructured.
And email carries more than 70% of this valuable data.
-Data Source: IDC
Thus, preserving ALL email data is a vital part of an organization’s data management strategy.
This, in turn, supports regulatory compliance, and retention of valuable intellectual property.
Why conventional methods of managing email data of former employees are failing?
Organizations worldwide, are driving IT initiatives to preserve email data of former employees for extended periods.
However, the traditional methods are limiting:
Commonly used Method 1:
Keeping legacy mailboxes in a disabled state on the primary mail solution such as G Suite can be an unnecessary cost.
Commonly used Method 2:
Downloading this email data to local storage devices is risky and unproductive in data discovery and retrieval scenarios.

So, Is there a better, more cost-optimal way to preserve legacy email data?
For Infrequent access to legacy data:
For infrequent access to your email data, we propose inexpensive cloud storage such as AWS S3.
Cloud storage is reliable, secure, elastic, and helps optimize costs with the Pay per use model.
Mithi’s online data migration tool, Legacyflo, now supports the migration of email data from G Suite to an AWS S3 bucket in your AWS account.
Legacyflo stores your email data in the PST or EML portable, open formats.
And, you can now retrieve this data using S3 browsing tools, as per your catalog naming conventions.
Why store on the cloud?
Centrally storing your data on the cloud:
- Reduces data fragmentation.
- It provides extremely high data durability.
- Is Elastic, thus reducing storage upgrade and reconfiguration headaches
- Enables a single point of control to manage, access, and retrieve data.
How a central repository helps?
A central repository serves your organization’s regulatory and IP preservation objectives in a more secure, safe, and productive manner.
For Frequent access to email data of former employees:
For email data that needs frequent access, we propose the use of Mithi’s Vaultastic to simplify data management.
Vaultastic stores email data in an active, indexed, and search ready form for on-demand access and retrieval.
