Small/Medium Businesses Avoid Fines with Jatheon Technologies’ Plug n Comply Email Archiving Appliance

NEWYORK and TORONTO – October 15, 2007 – With companies paying exorbitant e-discovery costs and risking multi-million dollar fines for violating government and institutional requirements for secure, electronic record keeping and access, Jatheon Technologies, Inc., is bringing sorely needed protection to at-risk small and medium businesses.

Today, Canadian-based Jatheon launched its aggressive push into the United States with Plug n Comply™, the email archiving appliance that gives small and medium businesses (SMBs) a powerful, full-featured system that is the market’s easiest system to deploy and use. Jatheon has signed over 20 Canadian and European customers in the last 12 months. Now, the company is actively expanding its network of global business partners to meet urgent, accelerating U.S. demand for the company’s SMB-focused solution.

“The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Sarbanes-Oxley, the U.S. Patriot Act, HIPAA, SEC rules, state laws, and corporate policies are all part of a dynamic regulatory environment that requires companies to retain their electronic messages for future review,” said Kieron Dowling, Jatheon president and CEO. “Small and mid-size companies often ignore that requirement because they can’t afford it. Most solutions are simply too expensive, in terms of financial, human resources and technology commitments. That’s where we come in, with a cost-effective email archiving appliance that is literally plug-and-comply.”

Elegant Solution, Explosive Situation

The Jatheon difference. Unlike email archiving alternatives, Jatheon’s Plug n Comply appliances are simply powerful, yet cost-effective. The company designed a family of appliances to be simple to deploy, simple to manage, and simple to use. Behind the simplicity lies a scalable, feature-rich email archiving system that offers unique, industry-first features such as DNA Fingerprinting to verify the integrity of archived messages and a decryption engine to accommodate enterprise encryption technologies. In addition, Plug n Comply:

• archives email and instant messages, including message headers, bodies, and attachments (word processing documents, spreadsheets, and .PDF files);
• sends policy-driven, real-time notifications of compliance or governance infractions;
• gives end-users, compliance officers, and systems administrators a rich, Web-based user interface as well as various plug-ins for email clients like Microsoft Outlook;
• works with MS Exchange, GroupWise, Lotus Notes, as well as outsourced mail services; and
• prices start at under $5,000.

The exploding market. By 2011, the market for email archiving solutions will increase nearly 10-fold to almost $6.1 billion, up from $796 million in 2006, according to The Radicati Group, Inc. North America and Europe will be the largest markets, accounting for 60 percent and 32 percent of global sales, respectively.

Demand for email archiving may be most pressing in regulated fields such as financial services, government, healthcare, and legal markets. However, in a corporate “six degrees of separation,” companies doing business with regulated organizations are increasingly, though indirectly, affected by the regulations imposed on their business partners.

Continued Dowling, “Email archiving is quickly moving from a luxury to a necessity for a growing number of organizations, especially in the SMB market. Jatheon gives small and mid-size businesses the luxury of addressing that necessity with a simple, scalable, secure email archiving appliance that fits SMB budgets and skill sets.”
