Case Study: Prominent Life Insurance Organization achieves faster e-discovery and lower archiving costs with Proofpoint Enterprise Archive

From Leading On-premises Archive Solution to Proofpoint Enterprise Archive

This large U.S. mutual life insurance company—more than 15,000 employees and 7,000+ financial representatives—faced a forced data-center consolidation that left hundreds of terabytes of archived data stranded on an on-premises solution. The archive’s slow searches, inability to move to the cloud, growing archiving costs, need to capture social media, and the requirement to identify and delete PII made maintaining the legacy system untenable.

The company migrated to Proofpoint Enterprise Archive, Enterprise Collaboration Archiving (including social communications) and Proofpoint Intelligent Supervision, moving archives to a cloud architecture with integrated capture, review and reporting. The new platform improved search performance and e‑discovery, centralized compliance workflows across business units, enabled policy-based social capture and PII remediation, and reduced tool sprawl, maintenance effort and total cost of ownership.
