Built for a government contracting firm, the email repository was created to index and store emails sent and received throughout the bidding process of a contract. Our client was finding that, since all their dealings with vendors was through email, when a representative left the firm, the contract details, manuals, warrantees, and everything else soon disappeared. SourceTOAD's solution was an email plugin that allowed contracting reps to pick what type of email they had just sent or received (as well as a full tagging and note taking system). The plugin would then store a copy of the email in an indexed database on a server. On the server side, an admin could view all the messages and attachments associated with each client and the type of document, and nothing was ever lost again!
