Like many organisations, schools and colleges are looking to do more with less.
So when Brook Hill School originally purchased Cryoserver for compliance, it scored top marks when it also helped the school in a number of different ways!
Keeping the desk tidy!
The original “compelling event” was that the school had an incident where emails had been altered for personal benefit. To solve this, they needed a tamper-evident solution that archived emails and guaranteed they had not been altered by a user. Passing score so far!
Keeping teachers teaching and pupils learning
Brook Hill were also attracted to the stubbing and business continuity modules Cryoserver provides. Business continuity mode meant that they were prepared for any unexpected downtime, and attachment stubbing kept their storage costs to an absolute minimum. Between using the search to find lost emails and stubbing the database to reduce mail server strain, Cryoserver has become a well-used tool there. Moving towards the A-grades!
What eventually moved Cryoserver into straight A territory was the potential for end users to do a detailed search easily within their Outlook. The fact that the product integrates seamlessly with Outlook was really popular with their users.
Optimising Exchange
Aside from storage and compliance benefits, Brook Hill School have also been able to use Cryoserver to make the most of their Exchange system.
With the knowledge that all the email data is safely backed-up and easily accessible in the archive, Brook Hill have been able to set Exchange-level retention policies that move all emails from users’ inboxes into Cryoserver every 14 days. They have seen users kick bad habits, like keeping everything in their inbox or not saving attachments, and a general improvement in communication efficiency from school staff.
