  TORRANCE, CA, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
LiveOffice, a leading provider of  software-as-a-service (SaaS) email
hosting, email archiving and email continuity solutions, today announced
that Miami Country Day School has successfully implemented LiveOffice Mail
Archive to satisfy new state and federal legislative and e-discovery
preparedness requirements.

    As a K-12 college preparatory school, Miami Country Day School must keep
pace with the latest technologies to meet e-discovery guidelines and
regulations, especially when it comes to managing their email
communications. With many email archiving options available, Miami Country
Day School selected Mail Archive for its rich feature set and rapid
deployment model. "When it came to archiving, we knew we had to be
proactive and take a leadership role," said Donna Lenaghan, director of
technology for Miami Country Day School. "We had a problem to solve, and
LiveOffice provided the most comprehensive solution."

    "Mail Archive eliminates a lot of questions, and we don't have to worry
about it, because we know that emails can't be modified," said Dennis
Cote, Miami Country Day School's IT service manager. "It's a matter of
convenience. We can tag emails for legal reasons, and it gives us a real
chain of custody, which we never had before. It's a lot of work to prepare
for a legal case -- going through machines individually, searching
archives, dealing with PSTs, etc. We can avoid these time-consuming
headaches with the [Mail Archive] service, because it's so much easier to
search for and tag specific emails."

    In addition, with only three full-time IT staff supporting 1,000 end
users, the organization was looking for enhanced mailbox management tools
to reduce mailbox sizes and eliminate quotas. "We were hampered by quotas
for 20 years, until we migrated to Microsoft Exchange and added
archiving," noted Cote. While an on-premise email archiving solution was a
consideration, Miami Country Day ultimately chose LiveOffice's
software-as-a-service solution because it was able to meet all the
requirements, while also freeing up the technical staff to focus on more
strategic initiatives.

    Miami Country Day School was also impressed by the built-in network
security features. LiveOffice provides an additional layer of advanced
spam-and-virus protection to ensure the utmost security of the school's
email communications. Not only do teachers and other staff use email on a
daily basis, but students also receive email accounts beginning in the
sixth grade until they graduate. "We are responsible for providing the
best and safest network for our students and their families," said Donna
Lenaghan, director of technology. "Security is essential."

    Mail Archive provides even more value to Miami Country Day School because
it also serves as a disaster recovery and email continuity solution. In
the event that the school's on-premise Exchange Servers experience
significant downtime or catastrophic loss, all of its email is still safe
and available through Mail Archive. "We were looking for brick-level
backups of our Exchange Servers, and LiveOffice Mail Archive gave us two
in one [archiving and backups]," concluded Cote.
