To provide an ELM solution that provides e-mail with legal evidential value and enforceability; will be jointly sold throughout Europe.

GROUP Technologies, provider of E-mail Lifecycle Management (ELM) software, recently announced its entry into a strategic partnership with a registered e-mail company RPost.

Under the new partnership, e-mail delivery confirmation functionality provided by RPost's Registered E-Mail technology will be integrated into GROUP's iQ.Suite for Lotus Domino. The integration, which will result in a comprehensive ELM solution that provides e-mail with legal evidential value and enforceability, will be jointly sold throughout Europe, claims GROUP Technologies.

According to GROUP Technologies, the business risks associated with the legal liability associated during the delivery of business mails can be significantly minimized by the ability to provide bulletproof, legally valid evidence of what has transpired in e-mail communication. The ability to verify the integrity and authenticity of e-mail also helps organizations adhere to regulations concerning tamper-proof e-mail archiving. RPost's Registered E-mail technology allows an e-mail sender to receive confirmation that a message has been delivered.

"The integration of our Registered E-mail technology with iQ.Suite will create a high-performance e-mail management solution that can incontrovertibly verify what has transpired in e-mail. This is especially critical to processes found in the public and financial sectors," said Zafar Khan, CEO at RPost.
