GRC Roll-up: Open Text Offers SharePoint 2010 Governance, EMC Offers Cloud Security

Since the ILTA conference in Las Vegas there have been a number of developments in GRC. Open Text for one has introduced new services and software to ensure SharePoint 2010 sites conform to corporate governance guidelines, while Guidance offers to bring e-Discovery in-house.

Open Text and SharePoint 2010 Governance

SharePoint 2010 is getting just about everywhere. For GRC, Open Text (news, site) has recently announced a new set of products and services that will manage large numbers of SharePoint 2010 sites centrally and ensure that with all the information contained in them corporate governance is not compromised.

The consulting services will be led by Burntsand which joins Open Text after its recent acquisition and a large team of consultants specializing in SharePoint 2010 and enterprise content management implementations. Open Text says their objective is to deal with information that is left in legacy sites after a company has moved on to other projects, but which still poses a risk to the company.

Using the recently released SharePoint 2010 version of Open Text Content Lifecycle Management (CLM) and Open Text Case Management Framework for SharePoint 2010, Open Text services will take control of unmanaged SharePoint 2010 deployments.

Moreover, it can help accelerate the rollout of critical projects by giving users simple tools to create and deploy SharePoint 2010 sites and applications in accordance with corporate governance policies and manage the entire lifecycle of SharePoint 2010 sites. Open Text's solutions for Microsoft are offered as part of the Open Text ECM Suite.

Guidance Offers Unified e-Discovery Platform

Keeping e-Discovery in house is one of the things that legal teams just love to do. It’s often not easy though. Guidance Software, however, has just released a new unified e-discovery software platform that offers enterprises that option.

EnCase eDiscovery v 4.0 provides a single, unified solution that addresses all of the stages of the electronic discovery process that organizations want to keep in house.

With it, Guidance says, enterprises don't have to spend time or money trying to integrate incompatible point solutions for each step in the e-discovery process, or transfer data between, and train users on disparate systems.

There are three principal advantages here, says Guidance:

1. It eliminates the need to deploy multiple products to address e-Discovery.
2. It bridges the gap between legal and IT through a common shared data repository and purpose-built interfaces. 
3. Offers legal hold that ensures legal obligations are met with better tracking and enforcement of legal holds.
