Archiving Emails in Google Workspace

pdf-google-workspaceCloud-based, integrated communication and collaboration environments are becoming increasingly popular in the digital era. Alongside Microsoft 365, one of the best-known products is Google Workspace*.

The Google Workspace software suite comprises a variety of programs (such as Gmail, Google Drive and Hangouts) including Google Vault – an information management tool that supports email archiving.

Archiving is important because it ensures that business-critical information contained in emails remains available and retrievable over time. In certain scenarios, however, Google Vault does not meet all the requirements of a professional email archiving solution. For that reason, companies using Google Workspace would be well-advised to take an in-depth look at Google Vault and assess the possible alternatives.

To give you an overview, our 17-page white paper examines the features and benefits of Google Vault’s archiving function, as well as its limitations and vulnerabilities. It explains:

  • why email archiving should be an important element of your IT strategy,
  • how email archiving differs from backups,
  • the strengths and weaknesses of Google Vault, and
  • why a third-party solution could be the better option when it comes to archiving emails.

The white paper also features a practical check list that highlights the potential requirements so that you can find the right email archiving solution for your needs.

Target Group

  • IT managers and administrators, CIOs, CEOs, and business owners who are already using Google Workspace or intend to do so in the near future
