Case Study: Fife Commercial Bank achieves legal and regulatory compliance and faster, cost‑effective email archiving with Barracuda Networks' Message Archiver

Fife Commercial Bank implements the Barracuda Message Archiver to Ensure Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Fife Commercial Bank, a locally owned community bank with 16 employees, was struggling with a cumbersome hosted archiving solution that made searching and retrieving emails slow and time-consuming. Needing full e-discovery back to 1998 and manageable administration by a one-person IT team, the bank sought a more efficient, compliant archiving system.

The bank deployed the Barracuda Message Archiver for its ease of use, low maintenance, and Outlook plug-in, enabling internal management and self-service email recovery. The solution preserved over 200,000 emails dating to 1998, cut Exchange storage from 39.3 GB to 18 GB, reduced PST files by 75%, halved management time, improved server performance, and added granular reporting and saved-searches for regulatory reviews.
