Content Sovereignty Solutions

The definition of sovereign is "one possessing or held to possess supreme political power or sovereignty", or "one that exercises supreme authority within a limited sphere." Content sovereignty is having control over where documents and digital assets are stored and accessed within a geographic or political region.

The challenge with anything "cloud" is that often these solutions live in a common storage and compute space regardless of where the end users are located. This raises several issues where regions of the world have trade restrictions and compliance standards, or it might be an issue with sensitive information leaving the boundaries of your front doors. Enforcing these "boundaries" for where this content lives and providing authoritative control to prevent access from outside that region is a resulting challenge.


Using Address-Bound or Region-Bound Storage

CloudPointe Connect is very different from other cloud storage and services in that YOU choose what storage platform and location works best for your needs. You can use an on-premise enterprise DMS like SharePoint or Documentum, or simply use your own FTP server. If you only need region-bound storage, then you can work with any storage provider within your sovereign borders.



Data Duplication and Single-Source Authenticity

Enterprises often duplicate documents and digital assets on servers or cloud services for remote users to access. This data duplication causes risk, and introduces much greater opportunity for data to be compromised from undesirable locations. With CloudPointe Connect, documents always reside in a single location. When users check out and modify documents, the revisions are always saved back to the original location. Multiple people can view the document from multiple locations (computers, mobile devices, embedded web applications), all without distributing copies of your documents or storing them on unknown locations in "the cloud."


Safely Control Distribution Within or Beyond Your Boundaries

Email has been the typical technology for distributing documents to people outside the firewall. The problems with this are numerous, but most profound is the fact that once you send an email attachment outside your organization, you have no control over where it ends up. This "loss of control" results in issues in every area of business, from shopping a business proposal to violating privacy standards to digital rights and software piracy. CloudPointe Connect provides secure distribution tools that let you choose the level of control recipients have. Restrict printing, saving and forwarding of critical documents, or expire access to documents and be sure that no residual data will be on the recipients' computers.
