Symantec Launches Intelligent Archiving Partner Program28 February 2006
Intelligent Discovery: Using classification to tag items with categories which can then be searched on during investigations or legal e- discovery. For example, documents with the words "attorney-client privileged" or "confidential" could be identified as such, enabling customers to use Enterprise Vault Discovery Accelerator to restrict searches to only those documents. The Enterprise Vault platform can perform basic classification on its own,based upon properties such as sender, recipient and subject. In order toclassify by content and context, Symantec has partnered with leadingcontent classification software vendors, including Kazeon, MessageGateInc., Orchestria, and Recommind. Deep classification creates detailedmetadata for each record that can be added to the archive. The metadata cansegment records into categories with their own unique retention anddeletion policies, preventing them from being retained for longer thanrequired for business or regulatory compliance reasons. The additional tagsalso dramatically improve the speed and effectiveness of the search andretrieval process.
Integrating Archiving With Enterprise Content Management and RecordsManagement
The Symantec Intelligent Archiving Partner program enables customers tointegrate Enterprise Vault with leading enterprise content management (ECM)software tools to achieve in-place records management. This means emailsand other items sent to the Enterprise Vault archive are then automaticallyidentified by ECM systems as being records which should be managed in termsof retention and disposition without removing them from the archive. Thisallows organizations to leverage the scalable storage of the archive whilecontrolling business records stored in the archive or in other systems in aconsistent fashion.
Initial ECM and records management partners include Hummingbird,Interwoven, MDY, and Stellent. Symantec plans to continue to partner withall of the major leaders in the ECM industry to provide customers with awide range of choices for their ECM solutions.
"Companies and government agencies must contend with a number ofindustry-specific email retention laws and regulations, such as theSarbanes-Oxley Act, HIPAA and SEC Rule 17a-4, which means a system thatworks for one may not work for others," added Burton. "We want to give ourcustomers a number of options to choose from, rather than forcing onebundled solution on all of them."
