I had a conversation today with NextPage and my memory was refreshed on a product that has been in the making for years. NextPage started out in the document manage space, leveraging P2P technology. They sold off that portion of the business to FAST, which in turn was bought by Microsoft. But they kept a part of their business that focuses on document retention, litigation readiness, and legal hold management. Some companies see the writing on the wall. Some companies, like NextPage, put it there.
NextPage technology focuses on the client to classify and track content, whether created on a network share, laptop, or USB device. Indeed, that's where the action is. Once documents are classified using metadata, NextPage can apply policies, including litigation holds, to the content and monitor and report on compliance. Policy management can be conducted by a managed service through NextPage or software located on the customer's site.
Today, NextPage has integration with Microsoft Office 2003 products: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. In its next revision, NextPage will support Office 2007 products.
