The size of the company is less a factor than the volume of email. Your IT head is spot on that an archiving solution can be a backup for your email system, as long as it is not the ONLY backup, and that you are backing it up!
The tips are meant for any business that uses/relies upon email; only the scale of the solution will change based on the size of your company and volume of emails.
Hope that helps,
Ed

Too often the line between business and personal is blurred; it happens every time I get a call after hours or have to work on a weekend! But keeping that separation is a great idea and the best way to avoid any issues.
Thanks for weighing in.

It’s frightening how something put into an email in passing may come back months or even years later, and be interpreted completely out of context. Thanks for chiming in!

I’m managing a medium-sized company. Our IT head recommends we use a powerful email archiving software so that if in case there’s a hardware or software failure, all messages and contacts will have a backup.

Also, can the 10 tips mentioned here be applied to my business? I have about 50 employees with 80 email accounts.

It is true that you never know when an email can be leaked and used against you but if you have no skeletons in your emails, this shouldn’t be scary. As for personal emails, users just should know that a corporate network isn’t the place to send/receive personal emails from. Get a mobile and check your personal email from there – that simple!

One has to really be sure that all vulnerabilities are accounted for before implementing a company-wide policy like this, I think.
