I can approve of this statement. One of our senior manager's entire outlook data (archived) is about 40GB in size. We use hosted exchange so we cannot simply achieved it anyway else.

You can still archive with an archive with hosted exchange.

We have compliance archive for all emails in and out bound. What user decide to archive from their Outlook is their choice.

Personally I rather like companies that mandate that all email over xzy date must be deleted, the whole idea of keeping email for darn near ever just seems weird to me. But I know I'm in a small subset that believes this.

Also keeping an email forever sets a precedent that could be used to force you in a court of law to produce email records.

Well, in LAH's case, he must have that as he mentioned compliance archiving - but those who are not compliance archiving.. I agree.

Yeah we have required legal retention on email in our archive so what the user keeps does n;t matter.

Can we get back to the Preferred suppliers topic? I'm following this thread to get the answer I will have to look into Softmart when an opportunity arise.

If we or a customer are looking for desktops we send them to Softmart (yes them again). They are awesome and will do a lot of the hunting for us if we are looking for something but not sure exactly what we/client needs.

Anyone know of a Softmart equivalent on the West Coast? I'd like to eliminate the 1 week shipping time from the East Coast.

They don't ship from Philly. Their warehouses are all over the country. I used to do local pickup in Dallas all of the time. No delay to the west coast.

@scottalanmiller Thx for the heads up, that is great news.

Do they charge for pickup? And where in DFW are they located at? Just curious

They don't charge us at least. And in Carrollton where the tracks cross Josie just north of Trinity Station.
