Email archiving solutions ought to integrate with content control solutions. One major reason is that policy is often set for risk mitigation purposes: If something might be sensitive, then you flag it and give it special processing. For example, you might send it to HR for review, or you might have it archived.
Right now, we're just beginning to see integration between these two capabilities. AXS-One and MessageGate are to be congratulated on their recent partnership. Orchestria and IBM have also been early players.

Another example of this trend is the recent announcement that we made at ZANTAZ about our acquisition of Singlecast data classification, policy management and supervision technologies. There is no question that content control and archival are highly complementary.
