Repstor’s complete product portfolio, including Custodian/Custodian for Legal’s enhanced support for Microsoft Teams, and Repstor Mobile, which transforms filing on the go, has been approved & listed on the updated UK public sector procurement framework

Belfast – August 15th, 2019 –Repstor, the provider of embedded Microsoft Office 365/Outlook information solutions, has today confirmed that, once again, it has been approved as a supplier to the latest iteration of the Government G-Cloud framework, the official digital marketplace for the UK public sector – now updated to G-Cloud 11.

Repstor’s expanded product set of content management solutions is now listed. These solutions enable public sector bodies to empower users to manage, find and share content more effectively and in a compliant way, and derive a greater return on their existing investments in Office 365/SharePoint/MS Teams and other ECM solutions.

G-Cloud 11 solutions from Repstor include:

  • Repstor affinity (with all connectors)
  • Repstor assist
  • custodian (now including enhanced support for Microsoft Teams)
  • custodian for legal (now including enhanced support for Microsoft Teams)
  • Repstor Mobile (transforming filing on the go for  iOS and Android users from everyday mobile email)

G-Cloud gives central government, local councils, NHS Trusts and other public sector bodies a way to purchase cloud-based services such as web hosting from a single, central web site. It is accessed through the Digital Marketplace – created in 2014 by Crown Commercial Service and Government Digital Service to make government procurement easier and more transparent.

Alan McMillen, CEO at Repstor, expressed his pride at once again having the company’s entire product line approved for listing on G-Cloud, for easy access by public sector organisations.

“We’re delighted to be on the Framework, and to have added our new Mobile product and enhanced Teams controls and capabilities,” he said. “The public sector continues to be a successful growth area for Repstor, with both new wins and existing customers investing more in or doing more with our product set.”

Natural Resources Wales, North Lanarkshire Council, Invest Northern Ireland and the Youth Justice Board (an agency of the Ministry of Justice), are among Repstor’s most notable public sector business wins. Indeed, Repstor is continuing to enjoy healthy growth across all of its industry sectors in 2019.

Its products increase return on customers’ existing software investments, by transforming how users access, store and manage content wherever they are and making this very intuitive.

Repstor custodian: transforming information management compliance in Microsoft Teams

Repstor custodian tackles this issue, bringing new control, templating and lifecycle management capabilities to Microsoft Teams workspaces, just as it does to regular SharePoint collaboration. It ensures collaboration can happen fluidly in the forums users prefer, but without undermining compliance with information management policy.

Repstor Brings Microsoft Teams under Information Compliance Control with Repstor custodian

  • The new functionality is the answer IT managers have been looking for.
  • As one put it: “We were daunted about having to configure Teams for each different use case, and how we’d stop content from becoming unmanageable–especially from a security and data protection standpoint. Then we heard about Repstor custodian.”

SharePoint Conference, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – May 21st, 2019 – Repstor, the provider of embedded Microsoft Office 365/Outlook information solutions, has announced the availability of new information compliance controls for Microsoft Teams, in direct response to market demand.

The soaring popularity of Microsoft Teams confirms the intuitive way people want to be able to collaborate today – on projects, ideas, problem-solving and decision-making. But without governance and control, Teams use can create new chaos for information and IT managers.

Repstor custodian tackles this issue, bringing new control, templating and lifecycle management capabilities to Microsoft Teams workspaces, just as it does to regular SharePoint collaboration. It ensures collaboration can happen fluidly in the forums users prefer, but without undermining compliance with information management policy.

If users are creating or adding to Microsoft Teams, or sharing Office 365 files with other members, custodian controls what’s possible, so IT managers and information officers don’t need to worry about the types of teams being created, their lifespan or how information is being shared externally.

“Rather than hamper the way people want to work, custodian manages the entire lifecycle of collaboration workspaces and their contents so teams can focus fully on what they need to achieve,” Fergus Wilson, Repstor’s CTO, explains.

Highlights:

  • Full exploitation of Microsoft Teams without later information management issues
  • Create new Team workspaces out of the box with defined layouts and content controls
  • Manage the full evolution and lifecycle of Teams – from initial creation, to project end
  • Control who can set up a Team and what’s permitted based on roles and functions
  • Apply controls to group chat, file upload areas, wikis and notes
  • Users can easily add email into Teams directly from Outlook
  • Prevent sensitive content from getting into the wrong hands, or being kept too long
  • No more silos as Team activity becomes easy to track at a glance

In response to news of the addition of Microsoft Teams governance and information compliance capabilities within Repstor custodian, IT managers’ comments have included:

“Teams proliferation has been a worry for us but with the control added by Repstor we have a clear way forward to allow self-service with the right level of control.”

“We were daunted about having to configure Teams for each different use case, and how we’d stop content from becoming unmanageable–especially from a security and data protection standpoint. Then we heard about Repstor custodian.”
