email2 protects business transactions conducted via e-mail by creating auditable and retrievable business records should a dispute arise. This maintains trust and enables accountability in any business relationship.

Back office e-mail transactions that occur while RFPs are being submitted and contracts negotiated are also tracked and can become a permanent retrievable business record. email2 enables users to control email exchanges by setting permissions; no forward, limited time to access the message and its content, no reply, etc. The ability to retrieve correspondence records in an efficient and cost effective manner mitigates the risk of litigation.

Companies are outsourcing more of their work and need to incorporate greater accountability and better tracking of communication regarding contracts with outside suppliers to avoid potentially acrimonious and costly litigation when things don’t work out. "Often the legal issues are secondary to a strong personal connection between buyers and product or service providers", says Peter Armstrong, vice-president of KPMG Forensic Inc.

Many companies are unaware of how porous, tamperable, and undependable basic email communications can be. Unfortunately once a dispute happens these shortcomings become obvious.

email2’s functionality adds a layer of business process to electronic communications to maintain strong positive client relationships: providing a date/time stamp demonstrates emails were made available according to established deadlines, original messages are stored in a Private Email Network's secure, central message repository and are auditable. email2 messages can be efficiently recalled should they need to be reviewed. In addition, large file transfer is unlimited and bulky attachments can be downloaded from the central repository at the recipient's discretion, avoiding work flow slow downs and inbox storage overflows.
