Avepoint News & Articles

AvePoint (news, site), is a well known provider of SharePoint administration and management solutions. Their flagship product line, DocAve, has recently been updated to include the beta release of a new suite to support storage, intelligent archiving and migration-free content attachments for both SharePoint 2007 and the upcoming SharePoint 2010.

An interesting piece of news coming out of the SharePoint Conference was the introduction of a new standards group specifically for SharePoint (news, site).

No this isn't coming from Microsoft, but rather from a group of Microsoft partners including founding members Danny Boulanger - Alcero, Susan Yee - Active Data Exchange, Larry D. Hunt - Integrated Digital Systems/ScanAmerica Inc., Tony Lanni - Avepoint, Esa Tervo - Neoxen Systems, and Mike Fitzmaurice - Nintex.

Called the SharePoint Interoperability Solution Architecture (SISA) Standards Group, the organization wants to create a software standard for developing SharePoint applications. The purpose? To simplify the integration and interoperability of solutions built for SharePoint by ISVs.

Products designated as being SISA™ compliant will have the ability to exchange information, processes, and tasks between two or more different SharePoint systems or components on a standard platform.

Other participating members include Bamboo Solutions, MetaVis Technologies, Atalasoft and Mark Logic.

We asked Tom Rizzo, Senior Director of Product Management for SharePoint if Microsoft was involved with this new standards organization. Rizzo told us that they had heard of it, but have not had deep discussions with the group as of yet. He did say that Microsoft is very supportive of community based initiatives, and that they passionately listen to customers and partners.

There's not much information on the SISA website yet (which by the way is a SharePoint based website), but we'll keep an eye on this standards group to see if it's able to take hold and make advances in the greater SharePoint partner community.

It's kind of starting to feel like a race to see who can offer the best solution to the SharePoint community for free.

It started with AvePoint and their free item level restore solution, moved to Bamboo, who is giving away free software to SharePoint Community groups and it now lies with Metalogix (news, site).

Metalogix has decided to provide Metalogix Archiving Express for SharePoint for free, offering SharePoint users a better way to manage archived content and support eDiscovery processes.

Long known for their SharePoint administration and management solutions, AvePoint (news, site) has decided to offer a little piece of their software for free. Want the ability to restore at the item level in SharePoint SQL backup databases? Use AvePoint's free tool: DocAve SQL Restore Controller.

There are a few different solutions available to backup and restore your SharePoint content, but not all of them enable the restoration of a single document, Metalogix's Selective Restore Manager Pro for SharePoint however, does.

AvePoint (news, site), a company that provides SharePoint infrastructure and management solutions, and in particular migration tools, has just announced the release of Website Migrator.

Website Migrator allows organizations move any HTTP/HTTPS site, portal and their content into SharePoint. It was developed in response to the growing need by companies to centralize their web-based assets and, in this case, to centralize it in SharePoint.

AvePoint, a provider of data protection and management solutions for SharePoint, has released DocAve 5.0, the newest version of its flagship MOSS infrastructure management software platform.

The company boasts “groundbreaking new functionalities” in the release that was primarily focused around the enhanced user interface, brand new modules and “intelligent” SharePoint backup and recovery.

Not all vendors out there believe that you should be able to move back and forth between Lotus Notes and SharePoint. AvePoint, provider of SharePoint infrastructure and administration management solutions, continually brings to market migration tools to move content from another product to SharePoint. Their latest migration tool is the DocAve Lotus Notes Migrator.

According a the Quest Software press release “Gartner, Inc. predicts that 80 percent of organizations will be using SharePoint Server 2007 by 2010, but only 40 percent will use it effectively.”

Quest has arisen to challenge of supporting that 40% who can’t figure out how it use SharePoint correctly. They have come up with a new set of tools to ease SharePoint management.

AvePoint, an enterprise-strength data protection and management provider for Microsoft SharePoint, has released the Documentum eRoom migration software, DocAve 4.5, as part of its DocAve Software Platform for SharePoint. DocAve 4.5 eRoom Migrator eases the process of content and metadata migration from Documentum eRoom into MOSS 2007 ensuring a quick and cost-effective platform adoption.
