Reporting & Analysis Tool for MessagingQuest MessageStatsWith email at the forefront of business communications, messaging environments are growing more and more complicated with multiple components required to deliver messaging services within your organization. Measuring and managing the entire messaging picture is becoming increasingly challenging with the wide variety of components, such as Microsoft Exchange, perimeter or edge servers and firewall, anti-virus, anti-spam, content filtering, archives, mobile and remote access and other internal messaging systems. Understanding usage and trends, modeling and justifying expenses, and forecasting operational requirements are fundamental to the effective management of your messaging environment. You need metrics on service delivery, capacity, usage, and inventory from both technical and business perspectives to confirm operational efficiencies and meet overall corporate objectives.

From the core Exchange infrastructure to the supporting components that interact with or extend Exchange, MessageStats effectively gathers, analyzes, and reports on your entire messaging environment. Pick the reporting options which make sense for your business: Maximize the Potential of Your Messaging Environment with:- Economic Modeling
MessageStats empowers CXO- and director-level management to justify expenses, accurately forecast and make informed decisions concerning operational requirements, migration plans, capacity needs, and archiving opportunities affecting their organizations. - Exchange Capacity Management
Companies need to understand whether they have adequate messaging system capacity to handle short- and long-term growth rates. This requires clear visibility at all levels – at the organizational level, departmental level and down to individual mailbox sizes and quotas. - Efficient Service Delivery
Whether aligning with industry best practices and guidelines, such as Information Technology Information Library (ITIL), Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF), BS15000 certification, and COBIT, or simply looking to deliver messaging system reliability, performance and availability within established or implied service level agreement (SLA) targets, MessageStats provides the metrics required to understand and tune messaging operations. - Increased Migration Efficiencies
Companies planning an Exchange migration or Exchange-related project can benefit from comprehensive inventory reporting during the planning phases of their deployment and throughout the Exchange management lifecycle. MessageStats Inventory Reports provide comprehensive Exchange assessments and identify opportunities for cleanup before they cause undue risk and cost to a migration. - Email System Compliance
MessageStats provides clear indicators of compliance issues throughout an messaging environment. Top senders, receivers and storage consumers are identified, making productivity issues and potential abuse readily apparent. Numerous means of audit provide investigators with details on all messages sent/received by a suspect individual, of all messages concerning a given subject keyword, or of all messages exchanged with a questionable Internet SMTP domain. This facilitates compliance with internal corporate and IT policies and with external legislation. - Measure Exchange Total Cost of Ownership
To understand the true cost of running your messaging environment, you need to know the volume of traffic flowing through it and the storage space consumed by messages. This data can then be correlated with telecommunications and salary costs to deliver an accurate estimate of "per-message" cost. You'll know the costs to increase, decrease, or maintain your current level of infrastructure as your company's requirements change.
