With features for automated, end-to-end service and information management, DocAve Governance Automation transcends capabilities of existing niche SharePoint security management and provisioning tools
Jersey City, NJ — June 12, 2012 — According to a recent Gartner Research note, two-thirds of attendees at its Portals, Content, and Collboration Summit revealed the absence of a governance plan, poor quality of enterprise content, and low levels of user adoption for Microsoft SharePoint severly inhibits the return on their information. AvePoint, the leaderin governance and infrastructure management solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, today announced the general availability of its newest product, DocAve Governance Automation. Governance Automation allows organizations to define, implement, and enforce governance policies by enabling the creation of service requests that support rich, customizable approval processes and comprehensive reporting.
Key features and benefits of Governance Automation include:
Configure, customize, and define policies, metadata, approval processes, permissions, and auditing parameters associated with SharePoint management tasks to meet dynamic business needs.
Empower end-users to submit service requests to IT for site or site collection provisioning, or IT to automatically notify business owners regarding pending content expirations while ensuring all changes are made in complete compliance with pre-defined organizational governance policies.
Optimize ongoing cost reallocation by analyzing business usage of SharePoint deployments with auditing and insight abilities in order to lower total cost of ownership.
Implement service policies or tiers for sites and site collections that incorporate service levels for backup, storage tiers, auditing, and archiving, and subsequently updating service levels as requirements evolve.
“Governance Automation is borne out of our extensive work with our customers worldwide who were seeking a way to automate the custom-coded governance solutions they were creating for their existing SharePoint deployments,” said Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang, Co-CEO of AvePoint. “SharePoint’s highly customizable and extensible nature means that no two implementations are alike: A key driver of Governance Automation is that it is highly configurable to meet the specific requirements of organizations large and small – focus on your business needs, and Governance Automation will ensure that your governance policies are enforced, automated, and audited throughout the entire SharePoint ecosystem.”
