Case Study: HOMANIT achieves legally compliant, audit-ready email archiving with Hornetsecurity Archiving

Homanit - Customer Case Study

Homanit, a leading European manufacturer of thin MDF and HDF boards with about 1,400 employees, faced strict German legal and data‑protection requirements to retain business emails for up to ten years. To avoid vendor lock‑in with Lotus Notes and the complexity of an in‑house solution, Homanit chose Hornetsecurity’s Archiving service for a compliant, external email archiving solution.

Hornetsecurity implemented Archiving to capture every Homanit email unchanged and unalterable in secure, redundant data centers, offering a control panel for admin/user search and redelivery plus 24/7 multilingual support; the service provides pooled 1.2 GB per‑user storage and ten‑year retention. As a result, Hornetsecurity now archives all German Homanit email traffic, delivering legally compliant storage that runs smoothly and enabling fast retrieval of lost or deleted messages.
