Stellent Announces Universal Records Management Agent for Symantec Enterprise Vault
Stellent, Inc. (Nasdaq: STEL), a provider of content management solutions, announced today a Stellent Universal Records Management agent for Symantec Enterprise Vault, the industry’s leading email and content archiving software solution.
Stellent Universal Records Management allows organizations to define, manage and execute records and retention management policies for all enterprise content from a single application. It uses an agent architecture to enforce records management and retention policies and schedules in nearly any application or repository throughout an organization. Stellent’s agent for Symantec Enterprise Vault extends the records and retention management capabilities of the Symantec software by automatically applying records and retention rules and litigation holds to email and other content within the archive in accordance with corporate policies.
"The unique value proposition of Universal Records Management is its ability to universally apply records and retention management policies to content across the enterprise, regardless of its location," said Dan Ryan, chief operating officer for Stellent. "Addressing the growing volume of email within organizations is a critical component of successfully carrying out this process, particularly when considering Forrester estimates the average company creates at least a million messages each day. Compounding this tremendous growth is the reality that email is playing an increasingly pivotal role in e-discovery processes, as evidenced by a 2005 Enterprise Strategy Group Inc. study reporting email has become the most frequently requested type of business record by courts and regulators. Stellent is pleased to partner with Symantec to provide organizations with a complete email archiving solution leveraging enterprise-wide records and retention management capabilities."
According to Forrester1, "From a litigation and compliance perspective, all information is a record, no matter when it’s created or what else happens to that content before it’s no longer active. … Enterprises must know what content exists, where it resides, and extend corporate records management policies to all content — even content that is actively updated, changed, and used to support an ongoing business process. Records management practices and RM software products must be extended to provide retention management that guarantees compliance and enforcement of corporate policies starting from the beginning of content creation and going through the final disposition of corporate records at the end of the content life cycle."
For Stellent customers, the combination of Stellent Universal Records Management with Symantec Enterprise Vault can increase email performance, and provide the opportunity for increased compliance and reduced e-discovery costs. By having a Universal Records Management agent monitoring the email in Symantec Enterprise Vault, companies can more efficiently apply centralized records and retention policies to email; apply legal and audit holds to email; and retrieve email for e-discovery purposes. The result is a more consistent, legally defensible set of policies; increased efficiency; and increased assurance that legal holds are applied promptly and universally.
Symantec Enterprise Vault customers will benefit from Stellent Universal Records Management’s ability to centrally manage sophisticated records and retention file plans and schedules and consistently apply them to all content throughout an organization — whether it’s located in Symantec Enterprise Vault, another application or content repository. The Stellent system also automatically categorizes content in such a way that emails are quickly matched to the most appropriate records and retention policies.
"Customers have been looking for a way to integrate Symantec Enterprise Vault into their enterprise records and retention management efforts, and Stellent is the first vendor to complete the integration and bring it to market,” said Nick Mehta, vice president of Enterprise Vault, Symantec Corp. "Stellent Universal Records Management provides a single place to set these policies for multiple systems -including Symantec Enterprise Vault - allowing them to be consistently applied across the organization." 26.10.2006, Stellent GmbH
