Osterman Research Blog

I have always been a fan of the products put out by Michael Osterman and his crew of researchers. They focus heavily on the messaging industry and I discovered today that they have started a blog. Welcome Michael and team!

Click the link in the sidebar to see the blog.

On research in general, if someone happens to desire to share some research or post something relevant on the Messaging Mogul blog, I would be more than happy to read it, discuss it, and post it at your request and approval.

It seems this industry jumped up pretty quickly and is expanding rapidly. At first archiving was available in the same form for any company or industry that wanted it. Now with Compliance, Ediscovery, Supervision, Security, and Storage Management all major factors in an archiving discussion, some companies have more of a need for one piece than another. I would imagine that messaging companies will begin to narrow their focus to a particular industry or size of company and will need to focus their solution more intensely. Any thoughts? We'll see.
