Directive 2006/24/EC will become law across European Union member countries during 2009 and Communications Service Providers (CSPs) therefore need to move swiftly. Although they are faced with a significant technical challenge, this challenge will become more complex if conventional data warehouse or other data storage technologies are adopted since they are too feature-rich and expensive for this particular application.

Detica DataRetain™, by contrast, is a scaleable, reliable, secure solution that enables CSPs to comply fully with data retention legislation but with minimal cost and with minimal impact on the business.

While it features highly innovative, state-of-the-art data storage and retrieval technology, the non-technical workflow features of the solution are equally important since it is here where significant operational efficiencies can be realised.
