OTTAWA, March 3, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Acaveo, a Gartner “Cool Vendor” and developer of the leading File Analysis technology for operational insight and control of unstructured data and access rights, announced a partnership with immixGroup to help the US federal government succeed in gaining control of the growing volume of unstructured data in their environment.
immixGroup helps technology companies do business with the government.  Leveraging immixGroup’s expertise with government IT procurement, Acaveo’s software products will be available for purchase by government agencies on multiple contract vehicles.
Acaveo’s software assists large organizations by providing them with an actionable understanding of unstructured data in file shares, SharePoint, email and cloud repositories.  Leveraging their flagship product, Smart Information Server, government departments can easily audit access rights, determine data ownership, apply classifications, migrate and delete data and make improvements that enhance data security.
According to many top analysts, unstructured data growth for a typical organization is between 40-60% annually.  As data volumes increase, it becomes more difficult to manage data.  With the increase in need for control and visibility, organizations are looking to File Analysis technology to rapidly characterize large unstructured data volumes and maintain operational intelligence over access rights and data characteristics.
“Government agencies have an immense need to bolster their understanding and management of the large volumes of unstructured data they store,” said Ron Mac Donell, CEO, Acaveo. “With the help of immixGroup and its vast experience providing IT products to government customers, Acaveo is positioned to address the data challenges faced by government customers.”
“As advancements in technology enable our government customers to store increasing volumes and varieties of data, we have seen a greater need for easily deployed solutions that help to securely manage that data,” said Chris Wilkinson, Senior Director, Market Development at immixGroup. “Adding Acaveo’s File Analysis solutions to our portfolio of brands enables the government and channel partner community to support their data management responsibilities, while also respecting the privacy of their employees.”
