LOS ANGELES-September 5, 2007-RPost®, the leader in
managed outbound messaging, today announced a global technology
alliance with Open Text™ Corporation, the largest independent
provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software and
solutions. Under the terms of the agreement, Open Text will
integrate RPost outbound messaging tools into its LegalKEY® Records
Management™ solution for law firm customers. Starting in September
2007, Open Text's law firm customers worldwide will be able send
e-mail records and electronic documents with verifiable proof of
delivery, providing admissible evidence of e-mail content and with
time sent and received. RPost is the leader in managed outbound
messaging with its flagship Registered E-mail® services, which
protects e-mail senders from liability associated with electronic
communications.
By integrating RPost Registered E-mail® services into its LegalKEY
Records Management (RM) system, Open Text enables its law firm
customers to retain verifiable records of not only what information
was sent by e-mail, but also precisely what e-mail content and
attachments were received and when. At its core, RPost pay-as-you-go
services include proof of e-mail content, delivery and
time-stamping. Advanced services include end-to-end encryption, PDF
conversion, information leak protection, e-contracting and
e-signing, combined into one tool offered at a flat per e-mail price
which is about the cost of a postage stamp. RPost services have been
tested, accredited and are used daily by the U.S. federal
government.
"RPost outbound messaging services are increasingly important to
safeguard e-mail users from legal liability associated with
e-discovery and e-mail message disputes. RPost is a natural
complement to Open Text's LegalKEY Records Management system and we
look forward to making RPost services available to our law firm
customers as part of our integrated enterprise content management
solution," said Mohit Thawani, business development manager, Open
Text Legal Solutions Group. "Our legal customers have come to expect
the services we offer to be fast and easy to use, and RPost
Registered E-mail services meet our stringent requirements for
functionality and usability."
Open Text Users Can Send Registered E-mail® Messages at the Click of
a Button
Open Text legal customers can send RPost Registered E-mail with a
click of a button integrated in Microsoft Outlook, Lotus or
Groupwise. Users will have an electronic receipt verifying e-mail
message delivery, message content (including all attachments) and
official time sent/received. A copy of this record can be
automatically routed to the LegalKEY RM system tagged by a reference
number and retained for easy search and retrieval in the records
management system. To close legal loopholes in e-mail records
management, RPost augments the e-mail record with an analysis of
transaction meta-data that proves transmission details of times and
deliverability.
"By adding RPost services, the Open Text Legal Solutions Group will
be able to offer its customers high-value outbound messaging tools
to assist with electronic records management, compliance,
e-discovery, e-contracting, paper reduction, cost reduction,
operational efficiency or e-mail security initiatives," according to
Zafar Khan, CEO of RPost. "RPost's core Registered E-mail service
provides the sender with protection and accountability by providing
verifiable proof of the original e-mail content and message
attachments, delivery, and official time stamps for e-mail sent to
any Internet address."
RPost Registered E-mail services include more than ten message
protection options, integrated into one platform. RPost closes the
delivery gap in electronic communications that may result when
content or delivery status is disputed in unprotected e-mail
messages. While other methods of protecting e-mail are unable to
verify both content and delivery, RPost does both without any
recipient participation, special software or seat fee required.
