Actiance was cited as a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Information Archiving Cloud Providers, Q4 2016. Actiance was among the select companies Forrester invited to participate in its Forrester Wave™ evaluation.

Forrester noted that technology management and security professionals are increasingly comfortable with – if not preferring cloud services to meet compliance-driven archiving needs with 61 percent of client security decision-makers indicating that they plan to implement or expand their use of SaaS for archiving. The report also emphasized that regulated industries are embracing the cloud for essential archiving use cases, and stated “Actiance harnesses domain expertise to address the cloud archiving market directly.”

According to the Forrester evaluation: “Alcatraz provides a rich set of connectors to many communication channels, including email, messaging, collaboration sites, social media, and Office 365. Businesses with compliance requirements can analyze communications by mapping different user identities from various source systems, helping follow a conversation even across channels. Investments into analytics allow clients to use the archive platform for supervision and investigations, as well as to discover patterns of communication and insights into user behavior.”

We believe this recognition highlights Actiance’s value to its customers and product innovation,” said Kailash Ambwani, CEO, Actiance. “With the FCA recently introducing guidelines to encourage firms to embrace the cloud, the Actiance platform is perfectly positioned to allow financial organizations to utilize the communications channels that their customers and partners demand, while meeting compliance and eDiscovery needs today and into the future.”
