Sonian, Dexrex Partner to Manage User-Generated Data
Sonian Deploys Derex for social media, IM and email archiving
Partnership Enables Archiving and Management of Corporate Social Media and
IM Communications in the Cloud
NEEDHAM, MA and CAMBRIDGE MA — August 27, 2010 -– Dexrex Gear, the leading cloud-based instant messaging (IM), SMS and social media data management platform developer announced today a technology partnership with Sonian. Under the terms of the agreement, Sonian has integrated Dexrex Gear’s ChatSync technology to provide cloud-powered archiving solutions for business email, IM and social media communications. These solutions enable organizations to address eDiscovery needs, achieve regulatory compliance and reduce IT costs.
“eDiscovery and compliance are real challenges with real penalties for businesses today, and the risks grow exponentially with the volume of corporate communications,” said George Nichols, President and CEO of Sonian. “By partnering with Dexrex, we are now even better equipped to help our customers manage the avalanche of user-generated communications while protecting them from the fallout of non-compliance.”
The combined offering will marry Sonian’s archiving solution with Dexrex’s ChatSync data management solutions for social media and IM. As a result, customers have the capability to capture, manage and store text-based communications on the corporate network, including enterprise email and collaboration, IM through third-party applications and social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
“This partnership represents the combination of two leading cloud-based technology solution providers with complementary capabilities,” said Derek Lyman, co-founder and CEO of Dexrex Gear. Enterprise communication has become a complex world of different platforms, services and media, causing untold headaches for IT departments pressed to maintain control for compliance, e-Discovery and business intelligence. Together, Sonian and Dexrex address this need perfectly.”
