FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Houston, Texas – March 17, 2011 – Gimmal, a nationally recognized consulting, technology services and solutions company is pleased to announce the launch of its new product division, GimmalSoft. GimmalSoft was formed to allow Gimmal to leverage its deep domain experience in enterprise content and records management and SharePoint information governance implementation experience to its “Built In” SharePoint 2010 Solutions. As a Microsoft ISV, GimmalSoft will be delivering compliance and governance solutions specifically for the SharePoint 2010 platform.
GimmalSoft solutions drive user adoption and adherence to compliance policies by making the information lifecycle and management process transparent, enforcing compliance and delivering proactive litigation readiness. The GimmalSoft Compliance Suite, currently in certification testing process, eliminates the need to integrate separate enterprise content or records management platforms to SharePoint 2010 for DoD 5015.2 certification.
The GimmalSoft Compliance Suite takes advantage of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, one of the most popular and widely adopted server products in the history of Microsoft, to provide an enterprise records retention policy solution that is being certified to meet DoD 5015.2 standards. With the addition of the GimmalSoft Compliance Suite, SharePoint Server 2010 becomes a repository for both work-in-progress collaborative documents and enterprise records. The transparent metadata inheritance and automatic classification of content provides an efficient, intuitive experience for users who are embracing SharePoint Server like no other platform.
“As SharePoint has become rapidly adopted for collaboration and content management, it became apparent that SharePoint 2010 needed to be extended and enhanced to meet the complex requirements of industry standards. By consolidating all content on the SharePoint platform, companies can implement a unified disposition and legal hold process across all content. This lowers corporate compliance risks, e-discovery costs and streamlines content storage and production.” said Brad Teed, Vice President and CTO, GimmalSoft.
David Quackenbush, President, Gimmal explains “With a compliant solution from GimmalSoft, all content is managed with consistent policy and company decision makers now have a legally defensible process for the destruction of documents and records, with reduced operations costs and lower risk. As an integrator, Gimmal has built enterprise scale information governance and records management solutions on SharePoint for a number of global organizations. With the release of SharePoint 2010 we felt it was time to take that knowledge forward as a commercial of the shelf software application to realize the full potential of the market and to bring these benefits to a global audience”.
