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.

The result is a clean, searchable, gove
