17a-4 offers Free Twitter and YouTube Post Capture to Email Service for Regulated Institutions

17a-4’s PostLog now supports Twitter and YouTube. Many regulated institutions have policies and requirements to capture social media communications posted by employees. Often, the institution pays a third party provider to capture these social media posts and retain them. 17a-4’s PostLog service provides a capture mechanism to format and forward the Twitter posts and YouTube videos into the archive that the institution is already using for email or other data. This not only saves money but allows for either FOIA or eDiscovery searches to review all types of social media content.

“17a-4’s PostLog service provides a capture mechanism to format and forward the Twitter posts and YouTube videos into the archive that the institution is already using.”

“Social media platforms like Twitter and YouTube have become an exceptional tool for regulated institutions to interact with their customers, constituents, or community. In industries such as government, education, and healthcare, however, organizations have a requirement to retain these messages,” offers Douglas Weeden, General Counsel, 17a-4, LLC, “and the most cost-effective archive is the one that the institution is already using.”
