This lets SharePoint administrators automate the process of consolidating multiple content sources onto SharePoint, saving time while increasing the return on investment in content already residing in Documentum eRoom.

Administrators can also perform seamless, full-fidelity content migration to MOSS 2007 and SharePoint Services version 3.

“We have seen a strong impetus, predominately within our Life Sciences and Financial Services customers, to look for a more cost effective alternative to Documentum eRoom for their collaborative document management needs,” said John Katzbach, Director of Enterprise Solutions, Entology, Inc. “Certainly MOSS 2007… tops the list. Now, with the release of AvePoint's DocAve 4.5 eRoom Migrator tool and its ability to easily migrate eRoom elements into MOSS 2007 including collaborative workspaces, document libraries, users and security permissions, the justification for our eRoom customers to make the switch is that much easier.”
