Governance Automation - Home

AVEPOINT HOME PAGE | DOCAVE6

Organizations today are challenged with finding ways to automate documented Microsoft SharePoint 2010 governance policy implementation and enforcement. Due to the highly customizable and extensible nature of the platform, governance solutions for SharePoint are typically custom coded. However, introducing custom code into SharePoint environments is not without risk, as all custom code must be documented and supported internally.

Governance Automation enables automated, end-to-end service and information management. Through the creation of service requests that support rich, customizable workflows and comprehensive reporting, organizations can define, implement, and enforce governance policies while closing the custom code gap created by home-grown solutions. By leveraging the entire DocAve 6 platform – including modules for data protection, administration, replication, storage optimization, compliance, reporting, and migration – Governance Automation transcends the capabilities of niche SharePoint security management and provisioning tools.
