  • In this post, I want to highlight three major improvements in SharePoint that support eDiscovery. You can: Manage holds and conduct eDiscovery searches on any site collection Use SharePoint Server Search or FAST Search for SharePoint out of box to search and process content Automatically copy eDiscovery search results to a separate repository for further analysis
  • SharePoint Sever 2010 addresses the Information Management, Identification, Preservation and Collection stages
  • Hold and eDiscovery is a site level feature that can be activated on any site.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Activating this feature creates a new category in Site Settings that provides links to Holds and Hold Reports lists
  • With the Hold and eDiscovery feature you can create holds in the hold list and then manually add content to the relevant hold by clicking on Compliance Details from the drop down menu for individual items.
  • What if you have a large amount of items you want to find and add to a hold? For that you can use the features on the Discover and hold content page, which is a settings page in Site Settings. From this page you can specify a search query and then preview the results. The configured search service (SharePoint Search Server or FAST Search for SharePoint) will automatically be used. You can then select the option to keep items on hold in place so they cannot be edited or deleted, or if you have configured a Content Organizer Send to location in Central Administration you can have content copied to another site and placed on hold
  • When searching and processing, the search will by default be scoped to the entire Site Collection and run with elevated permissions so all content can be discovered
  • In summary, SharePoint Server 2010 contains key features that make it an essential aspect of your eDiscovery strategy. With the new SharePoint Server 2010 capabilities you can easily apply proper retention policies for all content and make it easier to discover content if an eDiscovery event occurs. eDiscovery often prescribes tight deadlines for production. SharePoint 2010 helps you find the right content and deliver it faster.

    i everyone, I am Quentin Christensen and I work on document and records management functionality for SharePoint. Electronic discovery (commonly referred to as eDiscovery) is an area we are supporting with new set of capabilities in SharePoint Server 2010. In case you are not familiar with eDiscovery, it is the process of finding, preserving, analyzing and producing content in electronic formats as required by litigation or investigations. eDiscovery is an important concern for all of our customers and given that SharePoint has grown to be an integral part of collaboration, document, and records management for many organizations, we recognize the need to support the eDiscovery process for SharePoint content. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 included a hold feature that could be used for eDiscovery, but it was scoped to the Records Center site template. With SharePoint Server 2010 the eDiscovery capabilities have been greatly expanded to provide more functionality and the power to use these features across your entire SharePoint deployment. In this post, I want to highlight three major improvements in SharePoint that support eDiscovery. You can: Manage holds and conduct eDiscovery searches on any site collection Use SharePoint Server Search or FAST Search for SharePoint out of box to search and process content Automatically copy eDiscovery search results to a separate repository for further analysis

Cloud Computing Guide For Small Business - 0 views

  • 1. The growth of cloud computing is astounding. It is estimated that the worldwide cloud computing market is $8 billion with the U.S. market accounting for approximately 40% of that: $3.2 billion.  According to Gartner’s 2011 predictions, number one on their list of Top Strategic Technologies is Cloud Computing. Gartner also predicts that the SaaS market will hit $14 billion in 2013.
  • 2. Cloud Computing Software Solutions VS Desktop Applications The most common reason why small businesses choose cloud computing solutions over desktop applications is this: It is less expensive because you pay a small monthly amount instead of a one-time fee as it works now with traditional desktop software. On a cash-flow basis, it is less costly because your cloud based apps are often slightly less costly than an annual purchase or upgrade for common programs.  However, you have to look closely at the pricing plans and details for each application.
  • 3. Cloud Computing Solutions are available all the time – no matter where you are. For some business users that operate virtual offices or operate remotely on different machines depending on location and they need the application to be accessible from a web browser. That is one of the biggest advantages of cloud computing– it is available wherever you have access to a computer and browser.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • When most small business owners or new software companies talk about cloud computing, they usually mean an application that runs from the web and not directly from your not-connected-to-the-Internet desktop (software as a service or SaaS).
  • Cloud computing software solutions, for our purposes here, mean software that has a low monthly fee rather than a one-time capital expenditure. Just about any business function you can think of has a cloud based solution, from phone services to marketing to operations to finance.
  • You may already be relying on cloud computing without even realizing it. Think about your email provider: Are they offering some sort of anti-spam protection? Or what about your anti-virus program? Are they constantly updating and securing your desktop application? They are delivering service from the cloud, without on-premise hardware and software.  This is a great example of how SaaS has infiltrated our work and software installations without us thinking about it.

  • “The trick is to determine which services, information, and processes are good candidates to reside in the Clouds, as well as which Cloud services should be abstracted within the existing or emerging SOA,” Linthicum said.
  • Do Your Homework Linthicum says to start with your Architecture and make sure you understand your organization’s business drivers, information already under management, existing services under management and your core business processes.
  • In that way you can begin to look where Cloud Computing is a fit according to Linthicum. You can look to migrate to the Cloud when:*The processes, applications, and data are largely independent.*The points of integration are well defined.*A lower level of security will work just fine. *The core internal enterprise architecture is healthy.*The Web is the desired platform.*Cost is an issue.*The applications are new.

  • not all computing resources should exist in the Clouds and that Cloud is not always cost effective. It shows you need to do your homework before making any move. So, Cloud may not be a fit when the opposite conditions exist:*The processes, applications, and data are largely coupled.*The points of integration are not well defined.*A high level of security is required. *The core internal enterprise architecture needs work.*The application requires a native interface.*The cost is an issue.*The application is legacy.
  • external Cloud services should function like any other enterprise application or infrastructure resource and Cloud resources should appear native.
  • It goes without saying that as with any purchase, you should evaluate Cloud providers using similar validation patterns as you do with new and existing Data Center resources. You know there is going to be hype, but Cloud is not rocket science. If you feel you need to, hire a consultant as a trusted advisor.
  • CSC’s Yogesh Khanna told Summit attendees to embrace the business models that Clouds offer. Security barriers are all addressable not only through technology but also through policies. 
  • Be wary of the fact that there are a lot of Clouds out there. Some of the Public Clouds (e.g. Google’s or SalesForce.com) are proprietary in nature. Because this landscape is changing so fast, it is very important to maintain a level of flexibility and don’t fall prey to “vendor lock-in”.
  • “Look for some level of transparency that allows you to be certain exactly where your data is and who is seeing it,” said Khanna. “Have the flexibility to see where your data is at any given point and be able to monitor the health of the Cloud that’s delivering those services to you.”

    What the government IT manager needs when getting ready to embark on their migration to the Cloud is a good template; one that defines a proven roadmap to follow.What Cloud Computing Summit attendees learned (and now you) is that help is on the way. Cloud and SOA expert Dave Linthicum has developed a step-by-step plan to help you scale the heights. He goes through them meticulously in his new book Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence In Your Enterprise: A Step-by-Step Guide. At the Summit, Linthicum outlined the plan. Afterwards he told 1105 Custom Media you can consider Cloud Computing the extension of SOA out to Cloud-delivered resources, such as storage-as-a-service, data-as-a-service, and platform-as-a-service.
