Why Global Organizations Need Communications Intelligence

In today's hybrid work environment, organizations are more reliant than ever on digital communications to collaborate and stay connected and productive. The volume and variety of communications that financial services firms are required to capture, retain and review in support of regulatory retention and oversight obligations is rapidly proliferating. These communications contain compliance and brand risks, costly operational errors, security threats, real-time cultural indicators, and untapped revenue opportunities. Most companies have no systematic way to surface these signals. A comprehensive communications data strategy to meet evolving regulatory requirements and uncover the value within the communications they are required to retain will set these companies apart.

The Smarsh Enterprise Platform, the latest in communications intelligence, is a major step forward for regulated organizations. It enables them to illuminate risk and insights across petabytes of electronic communications generated by many different sources. Regulatory scrutiny is only becoming more sophisticated, and data will only continue to grow in volume and complexity. The only way for these organizations to truly leverage their digital communications intelligence at a global scale is by leveraging artificial intelligence and the flexibility and performance of the public cloud, two core components of this groundbreaking platform.

"Communications archives have long been considered the final resting place for organizations," said Goutam Nadella, Chief Product Officer at Smarsh. "Now, with rapidly evolving compliance regulations and expanded surface area of corporate risk, archives have to evolve to deliver critical business insights. As a market leader with the most comprehensive product portfolio, Smarsh is uniquely positioned with the Enterprise Platform to help businesses surface actionable insights, with the simplicity and scale required for today's data needs and future-proof compliance infrastructure."
