Retention and Legal Discovery Requirements

ISLANDIA, N.Y., Nov. 30 // -- CA (NYSE:CA) today announced it will deliver broad-based records management, email archiving and electronic data discovery solutions that will enhance the built-in capabilities of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Complementing CA's recently announced solutions for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, the new CA solutions minimize a wide range of risks by fulfilling governance, retention and legal discovery requirements for all SharePoint Server 2007 information.

"CA continues to work closely with Microsoft to fully address our mutual customers' needs across all of their enterprise systems."

CA is coordinating development with Microsoft to create solutions that are easy to deploy, use and administer. These solutions include:

electronic data discovery and mail box management.
