Mobius and Microsoft Streamline Information Access

January 31st, 2007: Mobius and Microsoft have just announced an expanded alliance to extend records management functionality in Office Sharepoint Server 2007.

Mobius will be offering new capabilities such as the ability for SharePoint Server 2007 users to search for, access and manage information stored in Mobius repositories, in SharePoint technology repositories and in any other repository, database or file system within an enterprise.

Mobius will integrate technology such as its ViewDirect and Total Content Integrator with Sharepoint, claiming that it will be able to deliver flexibility and scalability to enterprise information access.

“With vast amounts of electronically stored information scattered in disparate repositories around the global enterprise, users need a single point of access to both SharePoint and non-SharePoint information,” says Jim Biggs, Mobius vice president of channel sales. “We predict that the rapid adoption of Office SharePoint Server 2007 will put new demands on organisations to deploy a highly scalable 'archive of record' to manage long-term retention of electronically stored information to support legal and compliance requirements as well as the operational needs of the business.

“Our SharePoint extensions enable both automatic and discretionary archiving to the scalable, reliable ViewDirect repository from Office SharePoint Server 2007. Migrating static content to ViewDirect for long-term retention facilitates compliance with support for read-only storage and reduces costs with support for the full range of storage media.”
