Why?  Under Sarbanes-Oxley regulations as well as a number of other compliancy requirements, a publicly traded company’s management is made personally accountable for their company’s actions including the effectiveness of their internal auditing. 

In fact, this has now extended to the N.C.A.A. who has ruled that the transmission and receipt of SMS text messages and PIN messages without an audit trail is in violation of their mandate.

Problem —SMS and PIN messages never pass through your e-mail systems and therefore will NOT be archived by your e-mail archiving solution. Full audit compliancy has been difficult and time consuming at best until Retain^TM.

To date, in order for an organization using BlackBerry^® SmartPhones to be regulatory compliant, they have had to deactivate messaging capabilities that are unable to be archived such as SMS and PIN messages.

Also, finding phone log information has been excessively time consuming and frustrating.

Retain For BlackBerry Enterprise Server—Ensures that management is compliant with regulatory legislation by providing BlackBerry^® Archiving and Auditing capabilities for the BlackBerry^® Enterprise Server.

Retain For BlackBerry Enterprise Server allows you to be compliant easily and with minimal effort. You can enable functionality to your BlackBerry^® smartphones that previously you have had to disable. Make your users happy and stay compliant at the same time.

It is also important to note that a large percentage of BlackBerry^® smartphone users assume that PIN messages are secure and untraceable.

Organizations can now conduct confidential SMS, PIN and phone call log investigations while simultaneously reducing their liability with regard to the retention and alteration of electronic data.
