DocAve Deployment Manager for SharePoint

Automate the SharePoint Implementation Lifecycle from Staging to Production


For MOSS 2007 and WSS v3!

Effective management and automation of release operations is vital to a successful SharePoint deployment. Without proper planning or control, errors or changes during the staging process could result in increased time-to-value, project delays, and poor application reliability.

DocAve Deployment Manager meets this growing demand with a dependable, robust, and breakthrough solution that minimizes human error and cost overruns, accelerates service delivery, and facilitates pre-production operations for a successful SharePoint implementation.

Business Advantages

Key Advantages of the DocAve Deployment Manager

Reduce operational costs with automated release processes

Enhance IT efficiency by automating and simplifying this repetitive and time consuming process, allowing skilled resources to focus on more strategic, higher-value activities.

Ensure consistency across all pre-production environments and production systems

DocAve Deployment Manager ensures that each distributed SharePoint environment within the staging phases is an exact clone of each other. This enables complex system changes to be systematically and accurately propagated throughout the staging environment, resulting in a consistent and dependable production system.

Improve service levels by standardizing SharePoint deployment and implementation processes

Without a standardized process to control the proliferation of SharePoint servers, organizations will face support challenges across diverse environments, increasing the risk of an unreliable platform. As IT is typically focused on serving the needs of organization initiatives, DocAve Deployment Manager allows IT to improve their quality of service and responsiveness by providing greater visibility and control over their sprawling systems.

Prevent risk and liability by reducing manual efforts and limiting human error

Automation results in faster deployment, and minimizes the number of errors involved. DocAve Deployment Manager helps mitigate the risks involved in deploying a complex environment like SharePoint, and reduces any service disruption by eliminating the possibility of breakage caused by poorly executed upgrades or change propagation.
