DocAve v5.2 introduces new modules for SharePoint Reporting, eDiscovery, and Site Recovery, as well as numerous enhancements to existing modules

Los Angeles, CA, May 11, 2009 — From the exposition floor of Microsoft TechEd 2009 in Los Angeles, AvePoint, the leading provider of infrastructure management software solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, has announced the latest release of its flagship DocAve Software Platform. Complementing the Fall 2008 release of DocAve v5, this latest release introduces several new modules for the award-winning platform, and reaffirms DocAve’s position as the industry’s most comprehensive and flexible management and protection solution for SharePoint.

"We are especially excited about the latest release of DocAve v5", said Dr. Tianyi Jiang, COO of AvePoint. "The SharePoint community has been asking for reliable and flexible solutions in the areas of SharePoint reporting, eDiscovery, and real-time site restoration for some time, so we went to work. Our goal was to make the most comprehensive and powerful tools available. The results are the new DocAve Report Center, DocAve eDiscovery, and DocAve SiteBin modules, and we are confident they are precisely what the SharePoint community has been asking for."

New Modules Joining the DocAve Lineup

DocAve Report Center

For organizations demanding a full-spectrum reporting, monitoring, and business intelligence solution for SharePoint, DocAve Report Center is the answer.

• Comprehensive Infrastructure Reporting
  Centralize, analyze, and report upon all SharePoint Administrator data. Trend storage usage for each content database, web application, and site collection, and run real-time side-by-side difference reports at any level to discern outliers. Monitor load times of SharePoint sites and other elements to track platform performance.

• Real-Time Platform Monitoring
  Track SharePoint index status, network bandwidth usage, CPU and memory consumption, and many more metrics all from a single, customizable interface. Trend this data over time. Leverage customizable alerts to proactively address issues before they affect performance. Compare your system with Microsoft SharePoint best practices to streamline operations and optimize your environment.

• Microsoft SharePoint Usage and Analyses
  Leverage audit data to track and graphically represent platform usage, user activity, and vital analytics including disk space usage per user, site activity, and workflow status. Gain valuable insight into inherited permissions regimes, which terms are being searched for, and analyze trending for production and consumption of content by end users.

DocAve eDiscovery

Today, organizations need to be prepared to respond to any type of legal inquiry and request for materials with precision, clarity, and efficiency. DocAve eDiscovery delivers the tool organizations require to meet all SharePoint electronic discovery obligations in a cost-effective and complete manner.

• Target with Speed, Respond with Confidence
  During discovery, your organization's response must contain all of the information requested. Often, determining what is responsive depends not only on the data itself, but also on critical metadata (the "data about the data"), including information such as author, date modified, modified by, etc. DocAve eDiscovery delivers, providing the ability to scan and identify responsive materials by both full context search and metadata fields.

• Easily Exportable Reports for 3rd party Analyses/Review
  After responsive data is identified, it must be delivered and analyzed. Therefore it is a priority that all targeted data be exportable to multiple file formats. Every required data point, including critical metadata, must be made available in an acceptable format - whether it be .csv, .xls, or .pdf.

• Become Proactive and Forward-Leaning
  DocAve eDiscovery allows organizations to implement and manage 'Legal Holds' on discrete SharePoint content, on demand. Administrators or compliance officers can both lock down content in SharePoint and create an immutable copy in a separate, secure storage location. This capability empowers organizations to proactively meet eDiscovery and compliance obligations with appropriate dexterity.

DocAve SiteBin

SiteBin is a simple, easy-to-use recycle bin for deleted sites. It provides automatic backup of entire sites and site collections in real-time at the point of deletion, and instantly restore capability in the exact state they were prior to deletion - thereby reducing Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) to zero, and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) to mere seconds. Never has the recovery of deleted SharePoint sites and collections been so reliable and effortless.

Enhancements to DocAve's Existing Modules

DocAve v5.2 also delivers many enhancements to it's existing modules, including:

• Tiered data storage management - Further enhance drive/device planning by tiering logical drives to manage the storage lifecycle

• Enhanced security trimming in DocAve Backup and Recovery - Assign restoration tasks to site collection-level administrators

• Migrate Livelink content to ShrarePoint - DocAve Migrator now supports fully-mapped, full fidelity migration of Open Text Livelink content into SharePoint 2007
