The Trusted Edge Solution for Microsoft SharePoint enhances records management functionality by classifying unstructured content like documents and emails according to corporate policies. It extends SharePoint's controls to files outside the repository. This allows businesses to apply retention policies to desktop information and manage documents based on internal and external policies. It improves compliance by routing files to their proper locations and reduces litigation risks.

1. Policy Driven Control of Unstructured Content
Trusted Edge Solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®
Desktop documents need to be effectively managed for retention, eDiscovery, knowl-
edge, and cost. But users today create, modify, share, and store documents on their
desktops without regard for corporate retention policies. The Trusted Edge Solution for
SharePoint plays a pivotal role in managing unstructured data through the capture, clas-
sification and control of information created, used and stored on the desktop and at the
network’s edge. Following the deployment of Trusted Edge, businesses can apply cor-
porate policies to desktop information, and then subsequently manage all documents
and emails based on internal and external policies. Trusted Edge improves retention
compliance, reduces litigation risk and optimizes enterprise storage costs by classifying
and routing files to their appropriate location.
