To support records compliance, social media content must be properly archived and producible. Safe, secure, and automated capture of social media records is the goal. Archiving can make the difference between an organization that's stressed by social media, and one that supports social media use because it has an effective way to manage and supervise the content.

An intelligent archive captures information the right way, retaining proper context for each content type, making it possible to search for social media content instantly across many different social platforms.
