Turn the wayback machine to January 2011 and Talkin Cloud was covering e-mail archiving company Sonian’s desire to gain more channel momentum with an influx of partners. Fast forward to the present and Sonian is getting cozy with the channel by offering e-mail archiving for Office 365 and Exchange Online with a fully supported feature set.

Sonian also supports Google Apps, LotusLive Notes and Hosted Groupwise, which rounds out the company’s claim of supporting all “major” hosted e-mail platforms. What does working with Sonian get its partners? For starters, eDiscovery expertise that can meet intense compliance requirements through granular archiving controls, in addition to support for hybrid e-mail environments to collect and archive heterogenous e-mail systems that are both in the cloud and on-premise.

Sonian also provides the ability to archive information from social networking sites, instant messaging conversations and more. Adding Office 365 support for Sonian is an important step in delivering its archiving products to the channel while meeting its partners’ and customers’ needs. If Sonian sounds like the cloud archiving solution you’ve been searching for, either to resell or use, check out the full list of “unlimited storage and retrieval” archiving capabilities, and an extended list of hosted e-mail providers Sonian is compatible with.
