Why Categorize Events?

CA DataMinder enables you to quickly roll out a highly accurate event categorization strategy across your organization. Categorization allows you to structure your captured emails, files, and attachments. Instead of treating electronic communication as a near-uniform commodity, categorization allows:

Selective archiving

Irrelevant communications such as out-of-office notifications and email newsletters can be categorized accordingly and excluded from archiving, reducing storage requirements and increasing search performance.

Optimized storage

Precise categorization by, for example, purpose (business or personal) or regulatory implication, can allow archives to assign much more precise retention dates, eliminating the risk that a message is prematurely moved to offsite storage or even deleted.

Faster, more accurate event retrieval

With accurate categorization, the task of monitoring communications is transformed from a lottery based on random review to a process with pinpoint targeting. Reviewers can rapidly filter event searches to focus on events that truly merit individual attention.
