Captaris Alchemy MailStore

Alchemy® MailStore from Captaris is the business solution for Microsoft® Outlook® users to quickly find and utilise the information contained in emails and attachments.

With the growing volume of email messages, the issue of managing the storage of this business critical information continues to challenge enterprise IT resources. And, although the apparent cost of storage is low within email applications, the hidden costs of finding and managing dated messages, which often contain business transaction records or legally mandated information, is not.

Moving the emails into offline storage to improve the performance and capacity of systems can often compound the problem by limiting access to this valuable information. But, there is a solution to your costly email overload problem - Alchemy MailStore.

Now your organisation can easily store, index and search all emails and attachments from a single location or repository accessible through your desktop email application. Keep and find the email data you need.

Email data is immediately useful

Alchemy MailStore lets you organise and index Microsoft Outlook 2000 and 2002 email messages, handle hundreds of attachment file types, storing each in its original format. Alchemy does not modify the data or put a software wrapper around it - leaving it intact and readily accessible. Alchemy repositories are designed for open access, making Alchemy MailStore an ideal choice for enterprises that rely heavily on email to communicate internally and externally.

Easy to use

If you know how to use Microsoft® Outlook® you know how to use Alchemy MailStore. The easy to use interface integrates smoothly into the work environment, and provides the user with a familiar and productive tool with little or no training. Controlling access is simple. The Alchemy MailStore control console allows the IT administrator to create single or multiple repositories and provide open or secured access which enable/disable certain users or user groups. Once the data is stored in the repository the administrator can define its hierarchy, including naming conventions, divide it into smaller components based on project needs, and consolidate it into one master scalable repository with few limits to the amount of data it can store.

Quickly find email information

Just storing important email messages and attachments is often not enough. Alchemy Mailstore quickly finds them again, saving valuable time and effort, and increasing productivity without increasing IT support costs. In addition to automatically capturing email data including To, From, Subject, and the information in the body of an email message, Alchemy MailStore can also capture and index the data in attachments.

Using search criteria entered into a simple search form, the unique indexing architecture of Alchemy MailStore quickly returns accurate search results and displays matching documents in a familiar tree structure. View the messages and attachments within the same screen without the need for any original applications or further refine your search. MailStore also enables searches across multiple repositories - a key limitation of Outlook PST files.

Enhance your day-to-day business activities

Alchemy MailStore is designed to provide flexibility, making it a powerful tool regardless of job function. Create personal message repositories that give access to selected messages and attachments, even when on the road or away from the network. Also, store entire folders or selected messages into defined repositories, enabling email to be organised and indexed to suit unique needs.
