Smarsh Partners with DLT Solutions to Provide Federal Agencies With Solution for Text Message Records Retention and Oversight

Federal Archive enables agencies to easily capture, retain, search and produce employee text messages for records preservation, FOIA and litigation preparedness

Smarsh, helping customers get ahead – and stay ahead – of the risk within their electronic communications, announced a new partnership with DLT Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tech Data and the premier government technology solutions aggregator. DLT Solutions will distribute the Smarsh Federal Archive, a cloud-based mobile text message archiving solution, to the U.S. federal government.

“This technology meets U.S. government requirements and is readily available through several DLT contract vehicles.”

 

The Federal Archive is the only text message archiving solution to receive a Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization. The solution enables government agencies to automate the capture, retention, search and production of employee text messages in support of records preservation, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and litigation preparedness initiatives.
