Customers can leverage powerful social video channel while meeting regulatory, e-discovery requirements
PORTLAND, Ore., April 1, 2015 — Smarsh®, the leading provider of hosted archiving solutions for compliance and e-discovery, today announced that its Archiving Platform now offers enhanced support for Vimeo, the popular online social video outlet. Customers’ archived Vimeo content can be searched, reviewed and produced alongside email, social media, instant messaging, mobile messaging and website content within the Archiving Platform, as part of a comprehensive, unified compliance and e-discovery solution.
With 100 million active users and six billion hours of video watched each month, Vimeo is an influential social marketing channel for businesses of all types. However, if companies in regulated industries want to take full advantage of the tool, they must meet the retention and oversight requirements of organizations like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and other global regulatory agencies.
Customers can now use Vimeo, YouTube and similar video sharing sites and meet these compliance requirements. Smarsh ensures that customer data is securely and readily available for production in case of an e-discovery event, investigation or audit.
“Video is a powerful way for companies to tell their stories, but many organizations either aren’t addressing the medium’s inherent recordkeeping and oversight challenges and risks, or those risks deter them from using video altogether,” said Stephen Marsh, CEO of Smarsh. “With archiving for Vimeo and other video channels, Smarsh empowers companies to leverage the medium, and meet their compliance and e-discovery obligations for electronic records at the same time.”
Smarsh captures content from its customers’ specified Vimeo accounts, regardless of an individual user’s device, location or network. Vimeo videos, descriptions and comments are preserved in their original and unaltered format.
