Hi Sameer,

I like the cold-shower approach, but how does this fit in with regulatory obligations wrt tracability? Are the emails just 'not accessible' after 45 days, or are they actually deleted?

Most of our customers have an email retention policy that deletes mail automatically depending on age, number of messages or number of gigabytes in a mailbox. They may also limit on file size you can send or receive.

All these factors point to a wiki and blog solution that can serve both as a better format for business relevant communication, and a convenient, journaled archive.

A key point here for IT Managers and Execs alike is that social software is a storage management solution as well as a strategic solution to a wide swath of communication and project management problems.

Hi Sameer,
thanks for sharing. Have you got any other detail about this initiative in terms of cultivation process, business goals, adoption, etc?

That's a fantastic story anyway,

Since it was mentioned over watermelon martinis, I think Ill keep it in-house. If it helps any, its a chip that's either in a device you own right now, or would kill to own

That said, Ill do a quick Google search and see if its already in the public domain.
