Designed to save businesses time and money whilst meeting compliance demands

Archive allows you to easily, automatically, and safely store and recover user data, without the mounting license fees or complexity of solutions such as e-discovery

CloudM, a SaaS data management platform, has announced the launch of Archive, a new feature which allows users to easily, automatically, and safely store and recover user data, helping businesses to remain compliant without facing the mounting user license fees associated with traditional archiving and ediscovery solutions.

Companies managing their environment through CloudM will now be able to reduce the administrative and economic burden of complying with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA and FOI, which have traditionally been a manual and time-consuming process.

The new data retention and recovery capability allows users to automatically and securely retain data for employees who have left an organisation, and keeps the data indexed, searchable, and restorable for a time period of the company’s choice. This entire process can be automated as standard, so, as an employee goes through the company’s existing offboarding procedure, their data will automatically be archived into a cloud storage bucket of their choice.

With Archive, IT departments don’t need to worry about the headaches of sifting through old files, or even making sure the data is stored in a compliant manner as Archive manages the whole process. Users can easily search and restore the data that they need, including the emails of a previous employee, at the touch of a button, all within one platform.

A French-Swiss multinational company which manufactures building supplies and operates in 80 countries was among the first to use CloudMs Archive feature to manage its 60,000 user accounts. In total, the company paid €2,100,000 under its existing Google system, and this bill has now been reduced to just €234,000 by switching to CloudM.

Gary Bennion, Managing Director at CloudM, said: “Archive is an industry first, cloud native solution that is designed to help organisations comply with regulations, answer information requests, and deal with conflicts and disputes efficiently while giving them the confidence that the data needed is safe and secure within their chosen storage environment.

“Within any digital workplace it’s vital to keep licence costs down, but this is especially true in organisations with high staff turnover. With current leading SaaS vendors if 200 employees leave an organisation each year that’s 200 unused licenses to add to the bill annually, which can add up really quickly. With Archive that cost is eliminated, but you still have the peace of mind of having kept it in place.”

We’re growing from strength to strength and as we make our way through 2022, we’ve hit another major milestone – 1 million platform users!

We’ve come a long way
The CloudM platform was launched in 2018, and in those four short years we’ve amassed a staggering 1 million users.

Our SaaS data management platform now helps customers across the globe not only migrate, but also manage their data in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for a truly automated experience.

After being initially approached by Google to migrate the Economist magazine from GroupWise to G Suite, a project that went off without a hitch, we’ve grown our software from a simple migration tool to a full SaaS management and automation platform.

And we haven’t stopped evolving. 2021 saw the launch of our innovative Archive feature, which automatically retains user data as part of the offboarding process, with even more news to come in 2022 and beyond.

Our platform has empowered employees around the world to become more efficient using our extensive features and automated tools so it’s no surprise that we’ve now hit this impressive 1 million user milestone.

With over 68 million migrations performed and counting, we’re proud to support our clients and we won’t stop innovating now. We’ve recently won the ‘Cloud Management Solution of the Year’ at the Cloud Excellence Awards and have been shortlisted for many other awards.

As the market shifts and grows and changes, we’ll be right there, supporting our ever-growing list of prestigious clients and developing the latest pioneering cloud technologies.

Bring on the next million users!

Our passion is helping our customers, and it’s on that foundation that we’ve built such an impressive list of well-known brands as clients. Household names such as Netflix, Uber and Groupon are all on our list of satisfied customers, along with some of the largest franchises in the world.

Kempinski Hotel Group, for example, is Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group, with a collection of distinguished properties around the world. With more than 70 hotels in over 30 countries, a move to the cloud was inevitable.

We fully migrated all their users to Google Workspace using our platform, transferring existing messages, appointments and contacts.

Jeremy Ward, Senior VP for IT at Kempinski, said “We not only have an email platform to support our future growth, but a collaboration platform that is continuously improved. This will allow us to introduce new functionalities to our employees at a significantly reduced cost compared to our old solution.”
