Business Intelligence - Email in Mergers and Due Diligence

During a merger or acquisition, most companies miss a key due diligence item. In order to verify contracts terms and conditions, there is important information in email related to customers, complaints, special deals, discounts, legal cases, and current management issues that need to be investigated.

Another major problem is the inability to transfer knowledge to the new team. When the deal closes and employees are terminated, there is a huge gap in knowledge that leaves with them.

The MailMeter Solution:
By implementing MailMeter in a target company, the acquiring company can perform a number of in-depth key word searches across the corporation from a historical perspective on their own, without the expensive legal fees associated with outside professionals. This accelerates the due diligence phase, providing much better information on specific concerns, potential intellectual property breaches, regulatory compliance effectiveness, and in general give both parties better information for a successful deal. Searches can be done for subject line words, attachment types, and even message body and attachment text. A full history of all incoming, outgoing and internal emails and user-deleted emails is archived and is easily searchable by authorized users. Your legal staff can perform extensive, forensic research on all email communications immediately, all through an easy to use browser interface.
