Faced with growing data management concerns of e-mail and file servers, SITA has chosen to work with Neocol to architect and implement an end-to-end solution covering their corporate messaging and file platform worldwide.

Richard Doone, Groupware Team Leader for SITA comments:

"SITA were faced with numerous data management challenges from both the Lotus Domino and Microsoft Windows file systems. Requirements included not only reducing the online footprint but also data retention and legal compliance. A number of vendors were looked at, however it was IBM's CommonStore and OpenStore products that were chosen based on the closest fit with SITA's strategic needs. The platform is scalable enough to look towards Enterprise-wide data management solutions based upon this implementation.

Neocol were the first name on IBM's lips as the UK's leading CommonStore experts. Since we've engaged them we've found them to be very professional and technically very strong during the scoping and planning phase. We're looking forward to working with them for the implementation".
