Viewpointe Launches Hosted Storage and Records Management Solution

Viewpointe, provider of electronic content management and exchange solutions, announced OnPointe, a digital storage and records management solution providing scalability, uptime and compliance capabilities. OnPointe supports organizations in their efforts to manage, secure and monitor their growing enterprise data.

"Increased regulation, tight budgets and growing volumes of data are making it more difficult for companies to manage their onsite digital content," said Rich Walsh, president, Viewpointe Document Archive and Repository Services. "Solving these issues internally requires significant and ongoing resources and capital expenditures at a time when companies are looking to reduce costs. OnPointe provides a secure, scalable and cost-effective alternative; allowing companies to focus on their core business, while their trusted partner, Viewpointe, helps ensure their data is safely stored in a compliant, yet easily accessible, environment."

Using OnPointe's 'pay-as-you-go' model, companies can better scale - up or down - their digital storage usage, eliminating the need to own and sustain expensive records management and storage systems. Configured with an organization's specific needs in mind, OnPointe implements a company's business and document lifecycle rules, supporting its compliance efforts and helping to mitigate unnecessary risks. Integrated with existing internal security, systems and infrastructure, customers maintain control of their various types of enterprise data through OnPointe's broad array of collection, management and archive technology.

Designed with Viewpointe's commitment to security capabilities, OnPointe features disaster recovery, intrusion detection and testing, and business continuity capabilities. With its geographically diverse and mirrored data center locations, customers have further protection for their most sensitive data.

"OnPointe supports organizations facing a range of federal and state regulations and quick access to specific data helps customers respond to a multitude of regulatory inquiries easily," added Walsh. "OnPointe also helps mitigate regulatory and legal risks by incorporating customers' requirements for data retention and records maintenance and destruction."

Led by Mr. Walsh, the OnPointe team is supported by Viewpointe's IT, financial services, digital storage and records management professionals. In addition, Viewpointe recently added four associates to its records management and archive team. This team is responsible for managing and implementing OnPointe, as well as further designing and developing enhanced services to fit evolving customer and market needs.

Recent hires, with extensive experience in developing and implementing innovative ECM solutions, include:

• Allan Congrave, formerly with Iron Mountain, is OnPointe product support;
• Bill Shute, recently with Anacomp, Inc., is vice president of product in the records management archive business;
• Berk Mesta, previously with Temenos and Bisys, was named sales director; and
• Bill Butler, formerly with Autonomy Inc., is director of strategic alliances and business development.

"These additions to our top-flight team have further strengthened the Viewpointe offering while adding value to our customer-facing team," added Walsh.

Available now, OnPointe leverages Viewpointe's existing core capabilities and enables customers to convert and consolidate disparate data repositories with retention management while helping to deliver cost reductions and meet evolving regulatory requirements.
