Overview
Microsoft
SharePoint is experiencing rapid adoption across
all industry sectors and is being deployed at
the departmental and enterprise level. Obtaining
visibility and control of information assets across
sites, farms and domains is a challenge many organizations
face today.
eB for SharePoint,
in combination with Microsoft Office SharePoint
Server 2007, enables CIOs and Compliance Officers
to define and enforce a SharePoint governance
and compliance policy through the identification,
classification and management of information stored
in SharePoint sites across the enterprise, and
to do it in a way that does not compromise the
ease-of-use and collaboration that makes Microsoft
SharePoint so attractive.
Through site
governance, unique information modeling and advanced
records management, eB for SharePoint enables
enterprises to prove compliance, provide proper
governance, make informed decisions, and comply
with regulations and legal discovery.
Built upon
an advanced Service Oriented Architecture (SOA),
eB uses the latest Microsoft technologies. Developed
with the same technologies as SharePoint, eB embraces
Microsoft's .NET framework to form the foundation
of its application server tier, web services and
user interfaces. This architecture allows eB to
easily be integrated to other business critical
applications.
Business
Values
The rapid
adoption of Microsoft SharePoint is a great advantage
to CIOs, information architects and compliance
officers because it empowers end-users to organize
and structure information into a common shared
repository – information that before could
only be discovered by scouring individual desktops
– making it easier for corporate officers
to search and locate information assets that are
important to company operations and legal discovery.
SharePoint
usage is now growing so fast that CIOs are increasingly
concerned because they don't have the necessary
visibility or control of the sites and information
assets to mitigate compliance-related business
risk for the company.
It is their
responsibility to define and enforce information
policies, and in order to do so, they need visibility
and control into:
What is being discussed, produced, and shared
Whether information is sensitive, confidential,
and secure
If it is accurate and can be trusted to support
business decisions, regulatory compliance, and
legal discovery
Ultimately if the information should be governed
by corporate policy and recorded
For compliance
purposes, it is critical to have clearly defined
and classified information. Organizations need
to be able to provide compliance officers and
auditors with evidence that their information
policies are being followed and that the information
can be trusted. eB for SharePoint, in combination
with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server:
Ensures information quality that results in
improved operational efficiency
Lowers business and compliance risk by centralizing
records management
Improves information security, visibility and
access – eliminating information silos
