Reduce data and file capacity costs

Every company knows the problem: e-mail content consumes a lot of data capacity, attachments and notes eat up a lot of file capacity. This means that both are constantly growing in the production environment, often resulting in expensive additional capacity purchases and hard-to-find attachments.

The simple solution: automatically extract attachments and email content to an inexpensive storage solution like SharePoint or Azure Blob using AttachmentExtractor. The user will not notice any difference. This not only saves up to 60% of storage costs, but also increases performance.
