AdvisorMail Multi-tier architecture

AdvisorMail provides a two-tier architecture. This feature gives a corporate compliance department the ability to manage and delegate compliance responsibilities across multiple geographical, functional, and departmental distributed compliance departments. The following diagram illustrates this architecture:

The top tier is the Corporate tier. Only one Corporate office per AdvisorMail customer is allowed. The bottom or 2^nd tier is the Office tier. You can create as many Offices as you like in this tier. This architecture enables the corporate office to distribute the email monitoring workload to the 2^nd tier offices as required. The corporate compliance department has the flexibility to customize AdvisorMail to meet the needs of the organization.

The corporate office can:

Create an office for every satellite compliance department, and OSJ.
Create, edit, and delete auditor accounts for an office.
Control whether the auditors in an office can create office-specific keyword or phrase compliance rules.
Assign any domain name or email address to any office for email compliance monitoring.
Create keyword, or phrase compliance rules that apply to all offices.
Approve or reject the emails that are reassigned to corporate from an office.

An office can:

Create keyword or phrase rules specific to their office.
Re-assign an email to a corporate auditor for review and final approval or rejection
