HP Offers Transparent Records Management For Enhanced Risk Management

HP has introduced a records management solution that will enable customers to reduce the business risks associated with the growing regulatory compliance and legal discovery demands.

HP TRIM 7 will enable organisations to transparently manage all of their Microsoft SharePoint Server records in a single environment, regardless of the source. This includes documents as well as information found in SharePoint Server blogs, wikis, discussions, forms, calendars and workflows.

Widespread adoption of SharePoint Server provides the opportunity to consolidate and simplify the management of content stored across multiple SharePoint instances. HP TRIM 7 enables the transparent capture, search and management of all types of physical and electronic business information, including Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and the upcoming SharePoint Server 2010.

“Organisations today need solutions to manage the explosion of large volumes of information,” said Mark Gilbert, Research Vice President, Gartner. “New solutions are growing rapidly for authoring and managing enterprise content in various formats and sources, and this trend is changing the way organisations do business.”

“The explosion in Content 2.0 blogs, wikis and discussions creates new information management challenges for organisations trying to meet an escalating set of regulations,” said Jonathan Martin, Vice President and General Manager, Information Management Solutions, HP. “HP TRIM allows customers to marry records management best practices and governance with dynamic collaboration platforms such as SharePoint.”

To help SharePoint Server customers, HP TRIM 7 provides two new modules. The first one, HP TRIM Records Management, improves business records management by providing transparent access to all the SharePoint Server content held in HP TRIM right from the SharePoint Server workspace. The second module, HP TRIM Archiving, helps customers reduce the risk of data loss when reclaiming storage and system resources from SharePoint Server. The module seamlessly archives specific list objects in SharePoint Server, or entire SharePoint Server sites, to HP TRIM. This happens behind the scenes, which allows users to take entire SharePoint Server sites offline while ensuring continued access to information.
