LiveOffice Corp.’s Email Monitoring and Retention System Reduces Headaches for Compliance Officers Nationwide

TORRANCE, Calif., April 29, 2003 — LiveOffice Corporation, a leading provider of web-based products for financial services professionals nationwide, is joining forces with financial services firms across the country to help prepare them for the SEC’s new Books & Records rules pertaining to the archival of email communications that go into effect on May 2, 2003.

Since it is a web-based technology, AdvisorMail requires no upfront investment in hardware, software or connectivity, greatly reducing costs and implementation time.

AdvisorMail’s key capabilities, include:

  • Fulfills all SEC/NASD/NYSE requirements for email surveillance, archival and retrieval

  • Requires no capital investment in hardware, software or connectivity

  • Supports multiple email domains and configurations

  • Monitors and archives all incoming and outgoing email communications

  • Expedites setup with eSupervisor, LiveOffice’s proprietary word and phrase lexicon
