SharePoint Content Management

DocAve Content Manager Business Case

As SharePoint environments expand to reach global users and achieve additional business objectives, organizations must find ways to scale the platform to manage ever-increasing user bases and more complex infrastructure requirements. As such, organizations need to periodically restructure the information architecture for SharePoint deployments to meet evolving business needs. While SharePoint natively offers some capabilities with Windows Explorer, or through command line interfaces such as STSADM or PowerShell, there are limitations that could result in the loss of valuable metadata and version histories.
