Proofpoint's existing Outlook integration requires no client-side softwareand provides seamless integration, which enhances the end user searchexperience, guarantees near real-time search results and delivers thehighest level of security with Proofpoint's DoubleBlind Encryption(TM). Theproduct update also allows users to search mailboxes for historical emailmessages that have been securely archived and reside in Proofpoint's datacenter through Outlook Web Access.

"Just recently, Forrester Research reported that mobile workers will makeup 73 percent of the workforce by 2012(1)," said Andres Kohn, vicepresident of technology for Proofpoint. "Many of these employees willaccess corporate email while away from the office and companies must beprepared to manage archiving demands accordingly. When urgent issues arise,such as time-sensitive e-discovery and regulatory compliance issues,employees will need instant access to email archives in order to meet thosedeadlines."

The Outlook Web Access integration also gives users access to emailmessages that have stubbed attachments. This optional service allowscustomers to manage mailbox sizes by removing large attachments fromExchange while still keeping them easily accessible to Outlook Web Accessusers.

"Before deploying Proofpoint, it was difficult to get a clear picture ofwhat was the cause for our large mailbox size issue. We found about 80% ofemail space was taken up by attachments," said Dán Salomon, vice presidentof technology at National Financial Partners. "By stubbing attachments awayfrom the Exchange environment we were able to clean up our mailbox sizes,which was a tremendous help to us in maintaining the performance of ouremail servers. Adding support for Outlook Web Access will only improve ouroverall email infrastructure."
