What Messaging Architects does

Messaging Architects is a privately held professional services firm and wholly owned subsidiary of Mazzanti, Inc. (operating under the eMazzanti Technologies brand), headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey with offices in Montreal, Markham, Mililani, and Guatemala City. The firm delivers consulting and implementation services across three pillars: email migrations (from legacy platforms such as GroupWise, Exchange, McAfee SaaS Archiving, EMC SourceOne, Symantec Enterprise Vault, and PST repositories into Microsoft 365 or modern archive systems), information governance and compliance (records management, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, FOIA), and IT professional services including cybersecurity, ePolicy review, and project management. Its eGovernance sub-brand extends the offering into a cloud-based solution for preserving, discovering, and accessing digital data for compliance and eDiscovery.

The technical foundation is a services-oriented archive-first migration methodology that consolidates data into target platforms with forensically-defensible integrity, supported by AI-assisted document review and technology-assisted review (TAR) in eDiscovery using natural language processing for relevance, privilege, and responsiveness classification. Core technology alliances with Microsoft, Novell/Micro Focus (Platinum Partner), Transvault, and NetGovern anchor the firm's ability to execute across dominant email and archive stacks. The company claims over 50 combined years of GroupWise expertise and over 30 years of email migration experience, accumulated through multi-year enterprise engagements.

Commercially, Messaging Architects generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements with quote-based, individually scoped pricing and multi-year contract cadences. Customers include Texas A&M at Qatar (education), Modular Technology serving a leading oil and gas company, a global science and chemicals firm, and Whittle INC in healthcare. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales complemented by content marketing (blog, whitepapers) and social media presence on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Founded circa 1996 (with operating company history from 2012), the firm maintains a 51–100 employee footprint.

Core offering

Messaging Architects is a professional services firm that helps organizations migrate email systems, establish information governance frameworks, and conduct eDiscovery engagements. The firm delivers consulting, project management, and engineering services across legacy email platforms (Novell GroupWise, Microsoft Exchange, legacy archives), regulatory compliance regimes (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX), and full data lifecycle management. Engagements are scoped per client environment and delivered by experienced engineering and project management teams, with an optional cloud-based preservation layer offered through the eGovernance sub-brand.

Product overview

Messaging Architects provides a unified suite of professional consulting services organized around three core pillars: (1) Email Migrations — covering migrations to Microsoft 365/Exchange from GroupWise, Exchange, legacy archiving platforms, and PST files; (2) Information Governance — encompassing data and records management, data compliance monitoring, eDiscovery, GDPR solutions, legal solutions, and FOIA/public records requests; and (3) IT Professional Services — including IT consulting, project management, ePolicy review, and cybersecurity. The company also offers eGovernance, a cloud-based sub-brand for preserving, discovering, and accessing digital data for compliance and eDiscovery. These services are designed to work together: migrations feed into governance frameworks, governance supports compliance across all platforms, and professional services enable implementation and ongoing security. The company operates as a services firm rather than a software product company, with engagements tailored to each client's email environment and regulatory requirements.
