Over the past week, I’ve been working with a customer on a particularly interesting use case for SharePoint that I thought others in the SharePoint community might be interested in learning more about it. The customer is using Zantaz (from Autonomy/HP) for email archiving with a primary focus around eDiscovery, email retention and legal hold. A very cost effective option would be to use SharePoint and Exchange to provide the same functionality while leveraging their existing investment in the Microsoft stack.

Colligo is increasingly working with companies and organizations on their email and records management strategies particularly as SharePoint 2010 and Exchange 2010 upgrades are being undertaken worldwide. As organizations look to adopt SharePoint 2010 for enterprise records management, there has been considerable discussion around the use of Exchange Managed Folders and their suitability for storing email in records management scenarios.

Just in time for the 2011 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, Microsoft has published an excellent Colligo and SharePoint case study and how we help customers take advantage of the enterprise-level capabilities of SharePoint 2010 for document, email and records management.

We are really excited to announce Microsoft Office 365 support for our award-winning Colligo Contributor product suite. Microsoft Office 365 is generating a huge amount of buzz in the industry and Microsoft is dedicating a lot of resources to ensure its success in the marketplace.

With the huge amount of interest in SharePoint as a platform for records management, it was great to read Mike Alsup’s blog post on the AIIM site titled “5 Myths about SharePoint Records Management.” Mike is the Senior Vice President at Gimmal Group and as you may know, GimmalSoft is one of Colligo’s important partners in the records management space. In fact, Microsoft, GimmalSoft and Colligo teamed up recently to put on a record-setting webinar focused on SharePoint 2010 for records management, governance and compliance. If you haven’t yet seen the webinar, you can view it here.
