ArcMail Defender helps Franklin Synergy Bank build a solid infrastructure for growth.

Kevin Herrington, Franklin Synergy Bank's Chief Information Officer, made email archiving one of the company's highest IT priorities. Within one month after the bank opened in November 2007, Herrington had installed the ArcMail Defender U120. Herrington's selection of ArcMail Defender was easy, thanks to his previous experience at a larger, established public bank that had 300 employees in 16 locations, where he successfully implemented an archiving program with ArcMail Defender for 18 months.

"People get frustrated with application problems. They get impatient when the Internet goes down. But lose their email and things can get ugly fast. Knowing that the Defender has us covered is a lifesaver."
