AvePoint And KnowledgeLake Deliver A Comprehensive Enterprise Content Management Solution For Microsoft SharePoint 2010

Complete integration of the complementary technologies from AvePoint and KnowledgeLake provides organizations with a robust, security-enhanced solution supporting Microsoft SharePoint 2010 as an enterprise content management platform

AvePoint, a proven leader in providing lifecycle management software solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, and KnowledgeLake, a renowned supplier of document imaging and capture technologies for SharePoint 2010, recently announced a joint initiative to offer a comprehensive solution to companies utilizing SharePoint 2010 as their mission-critical enterprise content management (ECM) platform. This end-to-end support is available as a result of the products unveiled by KnowledgeLake and AvePoint.

"SharePoint 2010 empowers organizations to meet a number of mission-critical business objectives effectively and efficiently, especially ECM", said George Petrou, AvePoint's Senior Vice President of Product Management. "KnowledgeLake is an industry leader in image capture and management, while AvePoint technologies provide infrastructure management capabilities that provide a seamless, interoperable SharePoint 2010 experience. Combined, we are able to offer the SharePoint 2010 community a comprehensive solution for successfully utilizing the platform for ECM initiatives."

When embracing SharePoint 2010 for ECM, companies must consider how to efficiently scan paper documents and add legacy electronic repositories into SharePoint 2010. From there, organizations must intelligently manage Microsoft SQL Server storage in SharePoint 2010, as well as craft a comprehensive SharePoint 2010 governance, content lifecycle management, and asset retention strategy. AvePoint's DocAve Software Platform – while always providing complete awareness, protection, and management of Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) externalized utilizing Microsoft Corp.'s external BLOB storage and remote BLOB storage APIs – now fully supports the backup and recovery, administration, and integration of all externalized and non-externalized KnowledgeLake content to provide a truly comprehensive offering to the ECM solution for SharePoint 2010.

KnowledgeLake provides an affordable, platform-based solution for managing unstructured content directly within SharePoint 2010. KnowledgeLake is an enterprise scalable and comprehensive ECM solution for Microsoft SharePoint 2010, used for capturing, indexing, searching, viewing, securing, routing, and annotating mission-critical electronic content.

"We work tirelessly to ensure we are giving our customers the opportunity to capture their legacy content and transfer it onto the SharePoint 2010 platform", said Chris Caplinger, Chief Technology Officer, KnowledgeLake, Inc. "Once the content is captured and indexed, the next step is to ensure it is robustly protected and seamlessly managed. By combining our ECM solutions with the DocAve Software Platform, our customers now have a one-stop shop for their ECM needs."

AvePoint's flagship product – the DocAve Software Platform – offers more than 25 independently deployable modules, fully integrated via a unified, browser-based interface and built upon a distributed architecture, to deliver governance, protection, reporting, auditing, and optimization capabilities organizations require for utilizing SharePoint 2010 as an ECM platform.
