REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 18, 2014) - Actiance, the leading provider of compliance, security, archiving and eDiscovery for all critical business communications, today announced a collaboration in the U.S. and Canada with Avnet Services, a business unit of global IT solutions distributor Avnet Technology Solutions. As a part of this engagement, Avnet Services will expand its information governance capabilities around social and collaboration tools with the Actiance Governance Platform and its constituent products including Vantage, Socialite and the first Context-Aware™ cloud archive, Alcatraz. Actiance products help organizations meet their information security and regulatory requirements, and improve their litigation readiness.
"Actiance prides itself on helping organizations solve their information governance challenges, including those in heavily regulated industries like financial services, pharmaceuticals, energy and the public sector," said Jim Petty, vice president of Partnerships and Corporate Development at Actiance. "We're excited to work with Avnet Services to extend the reach of our risk management tools."
"For many companies, information governance can be a barrier to deployment of new communications tools across an organization. Concerns about regulatory risks, litigation and internal governance can stall adoption and make it difficult to achieve a return on IT investments," said Shawn Deegan, vice president of strategic development for Avnet Services. "Working together with Actiance, we can augment our social and collaboration offerings with enhancements that help to ensure organizations' content is protected, ultimately assisting them in mitigating risk and achieving compliance."
The Actiance Governance Platform helps organizations meet the supervisory, recordkeeping and eDiscovery obligations they have for email and the instant messaging, collaboration tools and social networks their employees use every day. Vantage and Socialite feature content monitoring, supervision and capture capabilities that help organizations enforce corporate and regulatory policies while protecting sensitive or proprietary information from leakage or misuse. Alcatraz, the first Context-Aware cloud archive, is a single repository for email and all critical communications that reduces the cost of eDiscovery by uniquely displaying dynamic social content in context. Actiance ensures chain of custody through tamper-proof capture and archiving to a WORM-compliant repository.
