Kazeon provides eDiscovery help for SharePoint users

Last week in my post, "Could SharePoint be simply good enough?," I raised the issue of governance across multiple SharePoint sites. When companies have literally thousands of SharePoint sites spread out across an organization, it can be a nightmare in an eDiscovery process to find information that could be hidden within these many sites--enter Kazeon. Kazeon eDiscovery SharePoint Manager product, available as an add-on in the latest release of Kazeon, works with SharePoint 2003 and 2007.

This could help solve so many organizations' problem of not knowing what's out there in SharePoint sites because the product finds the sites, indexes, searches and helps you locate content across SharePoint sites without requiring special software on the SharePoint server itself. If it works as advertised, this could be a huge leap forward for companies faced with an eDiscovery process and hundreds or even thousands of SharePoint sites to check.

Laura DuBois, Research Director, at IDC likes what she sees. "Kazeon's capability to perform fine-grained eDiscovery as well as Information Management for content within SharePoint sites makes it an important solution inside corporations,' she said. What it could do is greatly relieve one of the major issues around SharePoint and help customers find information even if it's hidden inside a SharePoint site deep inside the corporate infrastructure.
