In this podcast James Lappin interviews David Gould, Global product manager for HP ControlPoint.

David describes four primary uses to which HP ContolPoint is being put:

• Clean up of legacy data
• Auto-classification of content
• In-place records management
• Content migration

He discusses the product’s ability to analyse content held in different repositories/applications, and to take action on that content.    That action might be to:

•  protect the content
• move it
• delete it
• enhance its metadata
• classify it
• apply a retention rule to it.

David discusses the relationship between HP ControlPoint and the company’s electronic document and records management system – HP Records Manager. He describes how the two products can be used separately or in tandem.

Along the way David discusses questions such as the extent to which auto-classification is being adopted as a technique by clients, and the issues around archiving objects such as SharePoint sites.
