RISS and RIM
RISS is a fault-tolerant, secure system of hardware and software that
archives files and email messages for your organization, and lets you search
for archived documents.
• Automatic, active data archiving (email and specific types of documents)
that helps your organization meet regulatory requirements.
• Interactive data querying to search for and retrieve archived data
according to various criteria.
RIM is management software supplied with RISS. To interact with the
system, you have access to the following applications:
The RISS Web Interface is available to all users. The RISS Outlook Interface,
