Acaveo, an innovator of a new category of information governance solutions, and Soarsoft Africa, specialists in archiving, data migration and messaging, have announced a strategic partnership whereby Soarsoft will deliver Acaveo’s next-generation data governance solution to enterprise clients in the South African market.
“We are very excited about Acaveo’s solution because it fills critical gaps in an organisation’s ability to manage and protect their increasing volumes of data,” says Chris Hathaway, managing partner, Soarsoft Africa.
“By understanding data at its source, Smart Information Server can make things like archiving, data migration and audits and e-discovery more efficient and cost predictable.”
Soarsoft has offices in Cape Town and Johannesburg and brings together over a decade of experience in the supply, project management and support of enterprise information management solutions for leading organisations in Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the USA.
“We are very pleased to partner with the great team at Soarsoft,” says Geoff Bourgeois, chief technology officer, Acaveo.
“We recognise that organisations in South Africa are philosophically advanced in their thinking on data retention, security and information governance issues so we anticipate that Smart Information Server will be well received courtesy of the experienced team at Soarsoft.”
With new data privacy laws in South Africa, organisations will be thinking more about how they maintain oversight and control of the information they store that contains private or sensitive data.
Smart Information Server specialises in empowering organisations with an actionable understanding to inventory, track, query and govern precise datasets from diverse volumes of data spread across on-premise and cloud-based email, file and collaboration solutions.
