ICL has appointed Intervate Solutions as a reseller of the KVS Enterprise Vault e-mail archiving software for Microsoft Exchange as well as Meridio, the leading records and document management solution.
"We see tremendous scope in the market for these two offerings," says Rodney Barrell, sales director of Intervate. "The new Electronic Communications and Transactions (ECT) Act requires companies to have systems in place that meet the requirements of the Act in terms of how electronic documents are managed and stored.
"KVS Enterprise Vault for Exchange solves the challenges of e-mail archiving and retrieval and allows organisations to manage the e-mail lifecycle from cradle to grave, allowing strong protection of corporate intellectual property according to defined archiving policies," he explains.
Says Barrell: "As a leading Microsoft partner, we will also be using the two products to extend our solution offerings on the Microsoft platform. The records management capability of Meridio complements the document management strengths of Sharepoint Portal Server, and together they form a best of breed solution that allows companies to implement a records management solution that meets the requirements of the ECT Act."
Intervate is focused on delivering innovative software applications and customer solutions designed to unify people, processes and systems, and improve collaboration and productivity.
"Partnerships and alliances are an integral part of the Intervate strategy with technology and global alliances ensuring high levels of customer assurance and support," says Barrell.
Business unit manager of ICL`s Solutions Business Unit, Kethan Parbhoo, comments: "Intervate were targeted as a reseller based on their expertise in delivering total solutions on a Microsoft Platform. In line with our go to market strategy, to work through resellers we believe this partnership will provide customers with real business value."
Microsoft is a key strategic partner and Intervate`s products and solutions are designed to maximise integration within a Microsoft environment. Intervate has collaborated extensively with Microsoft in development of a range of solutions incorporating the Microsoft Office System 2003.
Intervate is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Collaboration with offices in SA and the UK.
