closing the collaboration gap…
Your Compliance Team Is Flying Blind on Collaboration Data
- Regulators Expect Records You Cannot ProduceYour employees use Teams, Slack, and Zoom every single day. Messages fly back and forth. Deals get discussed, client instructions get shared, sensitive decisions get made. Meanwhile, your archive only captures email. If a regulator or opposing counsel requests chat records tomorrow, you simply cannot produce them in a defensible format. Fines for recordkeeping failures now regularly exceed seven figures, and the reputational damage is even more costly.
- Your Archive and Your Platforms Do Not Talk to Each OtherYou already invested heavily in an archiving platform. It works perfectly for email. Yet collaboration tools like Teams and Slack store data in completely different formats: threaded conversations, emoji reactions, file shares, edited messages, deleted content. Native export tools dump raw JSON files nobody can easily review. Your compliance team spends hours manually piecing together conversations, and the chain of custody breaks every time someone touches the data.
- New Platforms Keep Launching, and Each One Creates Another Compliance GapLeadership just approved Webex for client calls. The trading desk wants Bloomberg chat. HR rolled out a new internal messaging tool last quarter. Every new platform widens the gap between the data your people generate and the records your archive actually holds. You are constantly playing catch-up, bolting on one-off solutions and praying nothing falls through the cracks before the next exam.
Here is what changes when you finally have one connector built specifically to bridge collaboration platforms and your compliance archive: automatically, reliably, and with full chain of custody intact.

FAQ’s
Questions Compliance Leaders Ask Before Getting Started
Is DataParser built for firms our size?
DataParser works equally well for a 3-person RIA and a Fortune 500 financial institution. The licensing is modular: you only pay for the data sources and user counts you actually need. Whether you archive 50 messages a day or 5 million, the software scales to match. Organizations in finance, government, healthcare, energy, and education all use DataParser to meet their specific regulatory requirements.
What happens if our data sources or archive change?
DataParser is the only independent connector solution built to work with any archive or storage platform. If you switch from Enterprise Vault to Purview, or add Slack on top of Teams, DataParser adapts without rebuilding your compliance infrastructure. The 17a-4 engineering team has supported archive migrations and new platform rollouts since 2001. You also get a free trial period, so you can validate everything in your own environment before committing.
How is DataParser different from native archiving connectors?
Native connectors typically lock you into a single archive vendor’s ecosystem, and they often strip metadata, break conversation threading, or lose chain of custody documentation. DataParser is vendor-neutral: it captures from any supported source and routes into any archive, preserving full metadata, threading, edit history, and attachment integrity. You get one consistent connector layer regardless of how many platforms or archives you operate, so you can avoid managing a patchwork of vendor-specific tools.
How quickly can we get DataParser running?
Most organizations are fully operational within 5 to 10 business days. Cloud deployments can be even faster. The 17a-4 team handles onboarding, and you will start seeing captured messages flowing into your archive almost immediately after configuration. There is no lengthy integration project, no custom development, and no waiting months for results.
What does licensing actually include?
DataParser licensing is straightforward and transparent. You license by data source (Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc.) and user count. The license includes the software, onboarding support, ongoing technical support, and all updates. There are no hidden fees for archive destinations, no per-message charges, and no surprise costs at renewal. You can review detailed license plan options before any conversation with sales.

Your Next Exam Will Test Your Collaboration Records. Will You Be Ready?
Before DataParser
Collaboration messages scatter across platforms your archive cannot reach. Regulators expect defensible records you cannot quickly produce. Every new tool your team adopts widens the gap.
After DataParser
Every message from every platform flows automatically into your archive: threaded, formatted, and fully documented with chain of custody intact. Your compliance team stops scrambling and starts responding to requests in hours instead of weeks.
Regulatory enforcement actions for recordkeeping failures increased significantly in 2024 and 2025. Every month without compliant collaboration archiving is another month of exposure. The firms closing this gap now are the ones sleeping soundly before their next exam.
