Metalogix provides tools to help IT manage SharePoint content over its lifecycle. The tools import content into SharePoint, archive SharePoint content, and apply retention policies. Today’s offerings are:
- Professional Archive Manager. Provides archiving for SharePoint, Exchange, and file systems (products acquired from H&S in September 2008).
- Archiving Express for Sharepoint & Files. Free, full version of the preceding.
- Site Migration Manager. Migrates older SharePoint sites to newer versions.
- eRoom Migration Manager. Migrates eRoom data to SharePoint.
- Stellent Migration Manager. Migrates Stellent (now Oracle Content Server) data to SharePoint.
- WebSite Migration Manager. A general-purpose tool to migrate ECM or Web content to SharePoint.
- Selective Restore Manager Pro. Restores individual SharePoint documents and list items from backups without a recovery farm.
The company is privately held. We estimate revenues at $8M annually. It recently raised $40M, some of which was used to acquire H&S’s archiving technology in September 2008.
Comments:
- Microsoft sees SharePoint as a central location for collaborative information.
- However, SharePoint is still at a very early stage of development, and has many very rough edges.
- A third-party ecosystem is consequently evolving. Vendors include AvePoint, Colligo, Metalogix, and Quest.
- Archiving and backup are areas of pain for today’s SharePoint users.

We would like to add 17a-4 to the list of companies supporting SharePoint archiving. Our product, ShArc (SharedArchive), allows SharePoint to comply with SEC Rule 17a-4 and other financial archival regulations including audit, legal/ regulatory holds, and support for non-erasable storage. ShArc will archive email, Bloomberg, Blackberry SMS, Microsoft LiveMeeting sessions and SharePoint wiki/blog posts.
