 New File Share Content Management for SharePoint

 

Want to use SharePoint to manage and present your File Share content? Now you can...


The Problem:  Your organization wants to start using SharePoint for more...to manage documents, to streamline collaboration, and to improve the overall productivity of the business.  But most of your content is sitting in a file share somewhere.  Migrating it into SharePoint is an option, yes, but just the thought of organizing it and going through the migration gives you a migraine.  Not to mention the cost of storing all that data in SQL.  So, your hopes of rolling out SharePoint are put on hold...

Until now...

Imagine there was a way to keep your file share content exactly where it is, but have your end-users access and manage it via SharePoint.  Imagine if they could leverage all of SharePoint's great productivity tools, including versioning, workflows, and alerts - when working with their file share content.  Imagine "connecting" your file share to SharePoint, so that it appeared in SharePoint just as if it was another document library.

The Answer:  DocAve Connector empowers organizations to leverage SharePoint as the presentation layer for all of its file share content, thereby avoiding the burdens of migration and freeing up valuable space on SQL Servers. Here's what DocAve Connector will give you:

*    Full-Featured Management of File Share Items

*    Import-free Streaming of Audio/Video Files

*    Support for all Network File Shares, FTP systems, and Cloud Storage Systems

*    Seamless Integration with SharePoint Search

*    Comprehensive Support for Custom Metadata and Column Types

*    Integrated Permissions Management

*    Total Interactivity with Client Office Applications and Third-party Tools

*    Event-based Synchronization Between File Share and SharePoint

Never let your file shares be an obstacle to improving business processes.   With DocAve Connector, you can take full advantage of SharePoint, without leaving your file shares behind.

 NEWS FROM AVEPOINT


Introducing DocAve v5.3

 

Latest release of AvePoint's flagship product includes the new Storage Optimization Suite, and an expanded Migrator enabling transfer of Oracle/Stellent and Vignette content to SharePoint!

 

At last week's SharePoint Conference 2009 in Las Vegas, AvePoint proudly announced the beta-release of the DocAve Software Platform v5.3, the industry's most comprehensive software solution for SharePoint backup and recovery, administration, storage optimization, auditing, replication, reporting, compliance, and migration.  Here's a quick run-down of the new features you'll find in DocAve v5.3...


*       Pioneering Tools to Optimize SharePoint Storage

The key to optimal SharePoint performance and productivity is efficient SQL storage management. DocAve's Storage Optimization solutions provide the tools you need to keep your SQL resources optimized with intelligent archiving, real-time BLOB offloading, and migration-free SharePoint connectivity to file share content.

With DocAve Archiver, you can offload content to tiered storage based on fully-customizable business rules or on-demand, all without effecting end-user accessibility via SharePoint. With DocAve File Share Document Connector and DocAve File Share Multimedia Connector, you can attach any network, cloud file share, or FTP document and medial files directly to SharePoint, taking advantage of all of SharePoint’s content management and presentation features without having to migrate. With DocAve Extender, you can directly offload BLOB content to file-based storage, relieving SQL of such content while providing end-user access via SharePoint.

Combined these tools deliver the industry's most comprehensive and robust SharePoint storage optimization and performance solution.

*       Comprehensive Migration from Oracle/Stellent and Vignette to SharePoint 2007

DocAve Migrator has long been the industry's most powerful, cost-effective, and easy-to-use migration solution for organizations seeking to transfer legacy content into SharePoint, with support for Lotus Notes, Documentum eRoom, Exchange Public Folders, File Systems, Open Text LiveLink, and previous versions of SharePoint.  With the release of v5.3, DocAve Migrator now supports the full fidelity migration of both Oracle/Stellent and Open Text Vignette content into SharePoint 2007.  To ensure a successful migration, DocAve's Pre-Migration Scanner analyzes the proposed migration before any transfer is commenced, and delivers detailed reports itemizing what will transfer successfully, what will not, and why. 

 

*       Participation in the DocAve Software Platform v5.3 Beta-Release


Want to take DocAve v5.3 out for a test drive?   Well, you're in luck!  The beta-release of DocAve v5.3 is now available to organizations across all verticals and geographic regions.  To request a free, fully-enabled 30-Day trial of the beta-version of the DocAve Software Platform v5.3, please visit http://www.avepoint.com/resources/free-trial-downloads
