SharePoint Governance with Axceler
With SharePoint, governance is always a problem, so there are a number of solutions on the market that aim to offer that, especially since the release of SharePoint 2010. The latest release on this front is the upgrade of Axceler’s (news, site) ContolPoint to v.4.2, which offers interactive analysis and reporting for SharePoint, as well as new permissions and security features.
Specifically, ControlPoint 4.2 offers analysis and reporting capabilities using Microsoft’s Silverlight, along with the ability to manipulate report data, create custom views and generate graphical tabbed reports.
It also offers the possibility of analysis of SharePoint 2010 Managed Metadata in lists and libraries, as well as policies to intercept user actions such as creating content so that administrators can, for example, block the creation of content before it happens.
Axceler has made a name for itself managing SharePoint. It released ControlPoint 4.0 last year, which provided a number of administrative capabilities including permissions management, activity and storage analysis and governance policies. With V.2, it keeps up the momentum. Worth checking out if you’re worried about SharePoint in your enterprise.
Xerox Examines Technology in Legal Firms
While there has been a lot of talk particularly in recent months about the advantages of GRC software, it is still hard to quantify it.
However, Xerox (news, site), which obviously has an interest in this, has released the results of a survey across the legal profession that does seem to suggest that technology is a big time — and money — saver.
According to the research, 72% of those surveyed who use Automated Document Classification (ADC) solutions saved time, with 64% saying it was more cost-efficient. A further 46% said it improved accuracy.
That said, less than one-third of the attorneys asked said they have used ADC solutions to classify documents. For those who don't use ADC, more than one-third said it's because of concerns over the cost and resources.
All of those surveyed agreed that it's important to limit the number of documents that need to be reviewed and the time spent reviewing them without compromising accuracy. Almost half (42%) of legal professionals agree that technology is the key to improving document review. The survey was conducted by Acritas Research in October and November 2010.
Farmville or E-Discovery?
We’re not trying to suggest here that the people over at Clearwell (news, site) are no fun, but when it comes to e-Discovery, you just don’t associate them with games, in particular online games.
