Am I out of luck if I have a "mixed" email system (e.g., Exchange and Notes)?
That's a "real-life" situation that we run into many times when we've gone out and worked with companies. We might be called in by a company that has both a Microsoft Exchange and a Notes/Domino email system and they want to tie an archive together, so that the content is searchable across the whole enterprise...
@27545 Just a few years ago, the answer to this dilemma would have been two archiving systems. Since 2000, the vendors have gotten pretty good at combining disparate email into a central archive. Not all vendors support this (it's a good question to ask an archive vendor), but most of them do have that ability today. It's very painful to put two email archiving systems in place; it's also very difficult to go backwards. Discuss these concerns with your vendor ahead of time and you'll save a lot of time and money.
