Email Archiving with MailStore at Stadtwerke Kulmbach
MailStore Server Case Study
Stadtwerke Kulmbach is a public utility company serving the town of Kulmbach in Bavaria, Germany with a staff of around 100. Not least due to its close ties with the people of the region, Stadtwerke Kulmbach is required to handle a large volume of email traffic that is archived with MailStore Server as part of a professional email management system.
Legally Compliant Email Archiving Made Simple
“We’ve been using MailStore Server since 2018 and benefiting from the entire range of functions and features provided by the email archiving software,” says Thomas Müller, Head of IT at Stadtwerke Kulmbach. “As well as offloading our email server and guarding against data loss, the software’s speed and simplicity when it comes to archiving emails in a legally compliant manner are really impressive.” The discussion with the IT chief makes it clear that positive acceptance on the part of the users, who benefit from being able to search for emails quickly, is a key selling point for the MailStore product.
