Viewpointe upgrades OnPointe governance platform

Private cloud service provider to regulated industries Viewpointe has announced significant enhancements to OnPointe, its information governance platform. The latest upgrades are designed to help organizations leverage existing corporate content to maximize business value and recognize higher returns on investment in information governance, including defensible disposition and comprehensive e-discovery.

OnPointe’s latest developments are said to improve enterprise efficiency, while protecting organizations from costs and risks such as those associated with unmanaged data, unfettered storage growth and a reactive e-discovery stance. Viewpointe says the OnPointe enhancements include:

Investigate-in-place and intelligent indexing allows organizations to process and index content “in place.” A single early case assessment search can incorporate data from across the organization without moving or exporting content to provide a complete view of relevant enterprise content—all within one user interface. Only after in-place data is confirmed relevant to an investigation is it archived into the OnPointe platform for further analysis and review.

Improved active file collection enables organizations to more efficiently govern and leverage content stored in file servers and collaborative storage repositories, including dark data that have become orphaned or dormant. Through OnPointe for File Shares, business content stored on network drives, file shares, desktops, laptops and collaborative sites such as SharePoint is consistently analyzed for business value, archived and classified based on appropriate information governance policy.

Proactive governance for enterprise content provides advanced life cycle capabilities to archive active or inactive content from leading ECM repositories such as FileNet and Documentum. OnPointe for Enterprise Applications makes it possible for organizations to decommission legacy repositories, therefore reducing or eliminating the high costs associated with aging infrastructure, technology refreshes, system enhancements, ongoing software maintenance, license renewals and non-deployed shelf ware.
