Smarsh, a U.S.-based provider of cloud-based archiving solutions for compliance and e-discovery, reports the opening of a London office, which a statement characterizes as “fully operational.”
Daniel Klein, director of business development for the vendor, is leading the Smarsh UK operation.
The US-headquartered company says in a statement that it is “now well-positioned in the Square Mile [as the City of London, the UK’s financial center, is also known] to assist UK-based customers in meeting compliance obligations from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the European Supervisory Authorities (ESA) and other global regulatory agencies.”
Smarsh’s archiving platform “enables customers to meet regulatory obligations for the retention and oversight of electronic communications, offering a unified compliance and e-discovery workflow across email, social media, instant messaging, mobile messaging and web content,” according to the statement.
“Smarsh sees the opening of an office in London as the next logical step for building on our existing portfolio of business and exploring the tremendous opportunity that exists in the rapidly evolving UK regulatory landscape,” Klein says in the statement. “We have spent the last 13 years helping firms meet the stringent record-keeping and supervision obligations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). We look forward to sharing our extensive experience to help regulated companies in the UK.”
The Smarsh UK office also will be recruiting sales and customer-support staff over the coming months, the company says.
