Getting to the governance point

Autonomy has announced ControlPoint, an information governance solution for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). Autonomy says ControlPoint has been specifically designed to enable real-time, enterprisewide control of all SharePoint content.

Based on its unique ability to understand the meaning of collaborative information across SharePoint servers and other content repositories, Autonomy claims, ControlPoint facilitates critical governance tasks, including classification, preservation or disposition of information assets.

ControlPoint is further said to address the governance limitations within SharePoint to support the most complex global information policies and regulations. Autonomy emphasizes that ControlPoint centrally manages any information asset and applies legal hold and disposition across different SharePoint servers and other repositories located on a company’s WAN.
