More Messaging Management Moguls

Thanks to Roger Matus of Death by Email for reaching out and for the shoutout today.

I am looking forward to hearing more from writers/bloggers/podcasters etc. in the messaging space. This space is getting more and more attention in organization since the email and instant message have become so vital in legal proceedings and compliance violations.

This is a major reason why I enjoyed learning about Roger's company, Inboxer. They are in the search, supervision, and surveillance space in the messaging industry which I think is the prime place to be these days. Of course employees need to be able to search their old emails for information in a way that is fast and efficient, but lawyers and compliance officers are under a big green dollar-sign shaped gun that comes in the form of a regulatory or litigation request and not only do they need a quick response tool, they need the promise that the right information is in their response and the wrong information is out; that they are not providing more information than they must; and that they can explain the relevance of what they do provide.

Any time spent developing products in this space is time well spent in my mind, with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure taking effect, everyone will need to manage their message stores better and everyone will need these products, not just big banks and public multinationals, everyone.

It's great to see a blog eco-system developing around messaging, and its many dimensions. For my thoughts, check out: http://clearwellsystems.blogspot.com/
