Why Retention Server is free

We are making the Retention Server for Microsoft SharePoint available as freeware to the SharePoint community. It is not crippled or intentionally deficient in any way.

We believe that in providing the Retention Server software solution free of charge, it will promote interest in 80-20’s wider enterprise Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) solutions among large enterprise users. These solutions are all built using the technology behind 80-20 Retention Server.

The solutions include:

The Leaders4 Board Information Management Portal which manages all meeting packs, minutes, actions and calendars for the Board and Senior Executive Team.

The Leaders4 Sarbanes Oxley compliance solutions which automate many of the tasks associated with the design, assessment, audit and certification of financial controls as well as the secure retention of all associated evidence.

The Leaders4 Compliance Management Portal, compatible with key compliance standards such as the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, this solution provides organizations with the ability to automate all aspects of compliance management including full incident management and integrated retention.

The Leaders4 Risk Management Portal centralizes all risk data, not just the risks and their owners, but the source of the risk, the reason for its identification, the associated business processes and business units, the associated controls, the assessment history, the testing history, the audit history, the documentary evidence and a complete incident and loss history.

The 80-20 Document Manager, a full function enterprise document management and records management system incorporating document level security and full client integrations for Microsoft Office, Outlook and Windows Explorer as well as a complete web client for all document and records management functions.
