Symantec helps Webcor Builders Simplify Email Management, Protect Data, and Manage Compliance with Industry Regulations

Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced that Webcor Builders Inc. is using VERITAS Enterprise Vaultâ„¢ content archiving software, now from Symantec, to help simplify email management, improve employee productivity, and achieve compliance with construction industry regulations governing the retention and availability of business records. Webcor has reduced time spent on search and retrieval for email requests from days to hours using Enterprise Vault, resulting in an administrative cost savings of more than $55,000 each year. The company also uses Symantec Backup Execâ„¢ for Windows Servers software to help protect critical job data for all of its offices.

Webcor Builders is a major commercial general contractor, with roughly 800 employees and more than $1.3 billion in open contracts. The company has completed projects for leading companies including Electronic Arts, Starwood Lodging, and LucasFilm. For Webcor, email is an essential form of communication and the company supplies laptops and Palm handheld devices to employees at each of its construction sites to maximize workforce productivity.

“The number of Webcor employees who rely on email has grown exponentially over the past three years. As a result, our Microsoft Exchangeâ„¢ servers were becoming overloaded, which negatively affected their performance,” said Gregg Davis, CIO, Webcor Builders Inc. “To solve the problem, we implemented Enterprise Vault, which automatically archives emails out of Exchange and into online stores. This has reduced the burden on our servers, while eliminating the need for additional costly storage hardware by consolidating into a single archive.”
