      • There is trade secrets being transmitted to competitors via the corporate e-mail system?
      • Your Lotus Domino server configuration is changing mysteriously?
      • Valuable corporate emails or database documents are being deleted unexpectedly or all at once?
      • Lotus Notes user id files have been compromised in your environment?

        Why you should use it

        Have you ever come across a time where you forgot to set your out of office notification, before going on a business trip or vacation? If so, you are not alone.

        Developed by Extracomm, the Out of Office (OOO) iPhone App will allow you to set your Out of Office notification from your device at your fingertips, regardless of where you are!

              Valuable Organizational Data

              Riza Celep  August 5 2011 10:00:31 AM

              Don’t be caught off guard and loose valuable organizational data


              Implementing proper security measures for your Domino environment is critical for several reasons. One reason is to protect valuable organizational data since its precious and holds value just like all other business assets. Such critical data, including e-mail and database documents are both vital to the organization's continued success. E-mail data and database documents could contain valuable information such as customer contact names, client list, sales records, marketing documents, phone numbers, addresses and other confidential information.

              How issues can arise


              If the organization gets caught off guard without a proper security tool, losing such data could be extremely harmful to the business and its survival. One source that is likely to produce this act is a disgruntled employee. Disgruntled employees may intentionally bulk delete e-mail or database documents in an attempt to get even with the organization. Securing your Domino environment with the proper tools can significantly reduce or eliminate such issues for your organization.  

              How to prevent such dilemmas


              Why risk losing critical organizational data? SecurTrac’s bulk action detection feature can be configured to monitor for any bulk action that occurs within your Domino environment, such as bulk deletion of e-mail or database documents. With real-time notification alerts when SecurTrac monitors are triggered, and the ability to rollback and easily restore deleted data with click of a button, SecurTrac gives you the ultimate tool to enhance security for your Domino environment.

              These are just some of SecurTrac’s great features and benefits.
              •  Monitor your mail, database, directory, notes.ini, user activity and more.
               
              • Enables compliance for internal and external regulations such as SOX, HIPAA and CFR Part 11.
               
              • Ability to implement a mail policy filter.
               
              • Perform eDiscovery searches within over voluminous data, which otherwise may be impossible to conduct manually.

                Image:SMS Text Messaging - Growing in Popularity

                In this day and age, it is much more common to see people using text messaging rather than talking on their mobile devices. Just about anywhere you go, it’s not hard to spot someone staring down at their devices and using their thumbs to intensely type their messages. In fact, SMS Text Messaging is a popular and widely accepted communication tool, used by so many people, from all walks of life, both young and old.

                The popularity of text messaging is continually climbing for the reason that it is instant and more personal than any other form of mobile communication. Due to this popularity, organizations are becoming increasingly interested and are utilizing this worldwide phenomenon to reach out to their target audiences. Whether it is used for increasing brand awareness, sending out critical information or simply utilizing it to distribute status updates and reminders, SMS text messaging can make a difference for your business.
                 
                Extracomm’s ExtraTxt is an SMS text messaging server that helps organizations communicate with their target audiences. Contact Extracomm to learn how SMS text messaging can help your business.
