[April 02, 2013] Proofpoint releases content collection module for SharePoint Tweet Apr 02, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Proofpoint, Inc., a security-as-a-service provider, has announced the release of its content collection module for SharePoint, a new tool to automate the collection and preservation of information for legal holds residing on Microsoft SharePoint. The new module works in conjunction with Proofpoint Enterprise Archive, and makes use of its technology to deliver precisely targeted results. Proofpoint's Content Collection module for SharePoint automates the process and targets specific SharePoint servers, which results in reduced time and expense. Many companies can see ROI with just one legal matter, the company said. "The Content Collection module for SharePoint substantially extends the value of Proofpoint Enterprise Archive's robust legal hold capabilities," said Proofpoint vice president of Archiving & Governance Darren Lee. "It is also a concrete demonstration of Proofpoint's vision to utilize its existing Enterprise Governance capabilities to identify and control information 'in the wild.' In the case of overgrown SharePoint sites, this not only means finding needles in a haystack, but finding them when the number of haystacks grows organically, and when the needles move from one stack to another." Proofpoint's content collection technology helps legal teams improve process defensibility as well as efficiency by providing complete reporting and audit trails. It also enables these teams to take a proactive approach to eDiscovery rather than merely reacting, because Proofpoint's agent-based technology reaches out to targeted servers and SharePoint sites in advance to capture metadata before it is needed for a search, the company added. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
