IRISTIA Unveils the First AI-Ready Email Structuring Platform at CES 20266.1.2026 17:30:00 EET | Press release

SEANAT today announces the public reveal of IRISTIA, the first platform designed to transform enterprise email archives into structured, compliant, AI-ready corporate memory. Presented at CES 2026 (Eureka Park – French Tech Pavilion), IRISTIA introduces a new category in enterprise information management: Email Knowledge Structuring. Despite 30 years of digital transformation, the world’s most critical business knowledge still lives inside isolated inboxes. Emails contain decisions, instructions, attachments, metadata, and evidence — yet remain stored in an unstructured, fragmentary format (MIME) that modern DMS, M365, and cloud tools cannot properly interpret. IRISTIA changes this. Built on the MRAS (MIME-Reversible Archiving Solution) architecture, protected under an international PCT patent application (WO 2025/257581), IRISTIA reconstructs the internal structure of emails and attachments, restoring context, flows, relationships, and metadata. The result is a clean, searchable, gove
