Key capabilities

to drive compliant productivity and meet e-discovery requirements with confidence

integrations-apis

Support for 80+ channels

Capture 80+ communication channels in a single platform. Search and review all of your email, IM and collaboration, social media, mobile text, and voice communications in one place. Smarsh continually adds support for new communication channels, and any custom or third-party content can be supported via our APIs.

context-preservation

Native, contextual capture

Understand the full context of conversations with both native content capture and message threading. Archived content is not flattened to email like in competitors’ archives. Instead, it is retained in its original format. Facebook messages look like Facebook messages and text messages look like text messages, allowing for review with ease.

search and exports

Powerful search, e-discovery and exports

Save time and money with lightning-fast search capabilities, specialized e-discovery tools and free, self-service exports. With more than 90% of customer searches returned in less than five seconds and more than 99% of customer searches returned in less than one minute, you can easily access your data at rapid speeds. As content is ingested into the platform, it is automatically indexed and stored in a search-ready state, so it is ready to be leveraged immediately.

Quickly find the data you need with specific Boolean searches, as well as the ability to search by user, communication channel, and many other criteria. All communications can be collected into cases, managed and placed on legal hold to assist with litigation preparedness and internal investigations.

Additionally, with our cloud-hosted solution, you can access and export your data at any time and in multiple formats. It’s your data, we don’t hold it hostage.

Granular Policy Management

Purpose-built supervision tools

Empower your compliance team with a purpose-built supervision solution. Leverage our robust, customizable policy engine or our industry-leading library of 40+ template policies to make your supervision work more efficient. During review, easily flag, classify, or escalate messages so your team can respond to those that require urgent attention.

web-archive-simple-onboarding-min

Its simplicity combined with its power. The Smarsh Professional Archive offers an intuitive user experience, and it has advanced capabilities for supervision and e-discovery. With rapid search results, granular lexicon policies to classify and review messages, and security tools to ensure your data is safe, the Professional Archive has earned its reputation as an industry-leading platform.

The Professional Archive is ideal for clients who want an all-inclusive archiving, supervision and e-discovery solution, but don't require high levels of customization. 

 

The Smarsh Professional Archive is sold based on the number of connections (i.e. an email address, a mobile phone number, a social media handle) that a client needs to capture and archive. Each plan includes the ability to capture and archive connections, as well as supervision and e-discovery apps, if needed. Contact a Smarsh sales representative to find out which plan is right for you.

 

Smarsh offers multiple onboarding packages to suit your needs. Contact a sales representative to learn more.

As communications are captured, they are automatically ingested into the Smarsh Professional Archive where they are stored in searchable, immutable format for your designated retention period. Administrators set permissions to determine which users can access what data. 

 

The Supervision and Discovery apps are built directly into the Smarsh Professional Archive platform, depending on your package. Administrators can set permissions for who can access the apps. 

 

Smarsh allows you to perform self-service exports of your data for free at any time. The Professional Archive has multiple export formats for downloading data locally or sending to a pre-configured FTP repository.
