OpenText has released new application governance and archiving software, StoredIQ offers risk assessments of SharePoint environments, EMC and eMag partner to offer e-Discovery, and there’s research from Varonis on metadata and GFI on email archiving.
OpenText Offers Application Governance
From OpenText (news, site) this week we have the release of OpenText Application Governance & Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint 2010, a new software package that offers integrated end-to-end management of SharePoint 2010 sites and documents across an entire enterprise.
It hardly needs to be said how useful this could be given the number of enterprises that have taken the SharePoint 2010 route since its launch last May.
While there have been a number of complaints about different issues in the intervening months, one of the most often heard is the difficulty in enforcing compliance and archiving standards across SharePoint environments.
However, while it would be possible to argue that this has to do with the amount of data that is being stored in SharePoint and the way SharePoint is being used, the fact remains that many companies find information management in this respect very difficult.
Using this solution, though, OpenText says enterprises can take control over SharePoint sites to enforce broader compliance and archiving policies and help lower ongoing administration and storage costs.
Equally important, it also helps to improve user productivity by opening access to all enterprise content from within SharePoint, ultimately increasing the value of content by giving corporations a robust, well-managed long-term corporate memory.
Microsoft and OpenText have also joined forces to help companies enable an effective ECM-driven compliance framework, aggregate content within business context and more easily deploy SharePoint-based business applications with built-in compliance. More on this later.
EMC Partners with eMag for e-Discovery
Meanwhile, e-Discovery and data management vendor eMag (news, site) has just announced a partnership with that enables clients to use EMC’s (news, site) SourceOne eDiscovery — Kazeon to collect, identify, preserve and process active and legacy archive data through a single platform — either on site or in the cloud.
This new partnership extends eMag's service offerings to include 'behind the firewall' services including Early Case Assessment (ECA) from all data sources, such as file shares, desktops, laptops, Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint applications, IBM Lotus Domino and EMC Documentum.
This again attempts to deal with the huge amount of data sitting in repositories that is either playing no role in business because it can’t be found, or, even worse, is not being used because no one knows it’s actually there.
