Business and technical relationship delivers solutions that give users of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 access to all forms of electronic information across the enterprise LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mobius Management Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOBI), a leading provider of integrated solutions for enterprise archiving and records management, today announced an expansion of its business and technical alliance with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). In the first phase of this alliance, Mobius will deliver capabilities that enable users of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to search for, access and manage information stored anywhere in the enterprise. The announcement comes on the first day of the 17th annual Mobius Users Group (MUG) Conference, at which Microsoft representatives will speak about the benefits of joint Microsoft and Mobius solutions. Mobius, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and Windows Vista and 2007 Office system launch partner, participated in Microsoft's "Ready for a New Day" launch tour. "We appreciate the opportunity to join Mobius and its users at this week's conference," said Norm Thomas, director of Business Development for Professional Services at Microsoft Corp. "This is the ideal forum to introduce the integration between Microsoft and Mobius technologies. Both companies have made product advances that, combined, enhance our customers' ability to efficiently and cost-effectively create, manage, store, and retrieve any kind of information in any repository. Mobius is providing its customers the ability to use Office SharePoint Server 2007 to access all information stored in Mobius repositories, in SharePoint technology repositories and in any other repository, database, or file system in the enterprise. This is a powerful capability that makes optimal use of the strengths of Microsoft and Mobius technologies to deliver ever-increasing value to our customers." Integration of Mobius's flagship products, ViewDirect(R) and Total Content Integrator (TCI), with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, delivers maximum flexibility for storing and accessing all enterprise information. TCI, the premier solution for connecting any content source with any content user or application, provides seamless access to information stored anywhere in the enterprise. ViewDirect, the world's most scalable, full-featured archiving platform, manages billions of items a year as the "archive of record" for leading organizations around the world. "SharePoint Server 2007 is clearly the 'best-in-class' solution for document management, collaboration, workflow and portal capabilities," said Jim Biggs, Mobius vice president of channel sales. "With vast amounts of electronically stored information scattered in disparate repositories around the global enterprise, users need a single point of access to both SharePoint and non-SharePoint information. Mobius's TCI provides access to all this content via the SharePoint technologies interface, reducing the complexity, costs, and operational inefficiencies faced by end users, system integrators, and independent software vendors. "Further, we predict that the rapid adoption of Office SharePoint Server 2007 will put new demands on organizations to deploy a highly scalable 'archive of record' to manage long-term retention of electronically stored information to support legal and compliance requirements as well as the operational needs of the business. Our SharePoint extensions enable both automatic and discretionary archiving to the scalable, reliable ViewDirect repository from Office SharePoint Server 2007. Migrating static content to ViewDirect for long-term retention facilitates compliance with support for read-only storage and reduces costs with support for the full range of storage media." Delegates to the Mobius Users Group conference will have many opportunities to learn about -- and see in action -- the new products from Microsoft and Mobius and gain an understanding of how their integration will benefit their organizations.
