From the product perspective, Barbineau says, the extended TRIM support for Microsoft SharePoint is extremely timely, as this application continues to gain traction as a valuable collaboration and knowledge management tool. "Being able to manage SharePoint as records from a central location will help companies optimize the overall environment and meet compliance requirements."

The discrete information management challenges--including records management, e-discovery, compliance and IT asset optimization--are creating increased problems, and there is no shortage of solutions to solve these independently, says Barbineau.

However, the industry benefits when a company with HP's stature begins educating the marketplace that information management issues have to be addressed by multiple stakeholders and several technologies working together."
