Digital communications are now the mainstay in modern enterprises, allowing organizations to collaborate and share information rapidly. Effective governance and archiving across all digital communications, including email, enhances the overall governance of the data produced by digital channels.
Digital communications take on many forms, including collaboration channels like Teams, Zoom, and Slack, industry-specific channels like Bloomberg and FactSet, instant messaging channels like iMessage and WhatsApp, and social media while still retaining use of email at scale. In parallel, these communications are often subject to numerous regulatory requirements, the focus of legal discovery, and are increasingly important for business operations.
Given the dynamics outlined above, Gartner launched a new Magic Quadrant on Digital Communications Governance and Archiving at the beginning of 2025, in which Archive360 was recognized as a Leader.

Adding analytics capabilities remains a significant part of our roadmap, for Digital Communications Governance and Archiving and other enterprising archiving use cases, including application decommissioning and data archiving to improve the efficiency of the production environment.
We are designing this to provide in-platform analytics and trusted, secure access to enterprise data platforms. This provides large sets of archived data that were previously inaccessible to analytics and AI tools and allows organizations to derive insight while meeting their data governance requirements.
