A tool to enable social media to be archived to Symantec’s Enterprise Vault has been unveiled by Hanzo Archives.

"Social media is changing how organizations communicate and IT and legal organizations need to minimize eDiscovery risks by archiving this data in a streamlined approach that combines social media data with other unstructured data across the enterprise," says Niels Van Ingen, Director of Product Management for Enterprise Vault, Symantec.

"Hanzo's integration with Symantec Enterprise Vault leverages online communication tools while maintaining corporate records management policies and remain compliant with industry regulations. Together, we can help our mutual customers as web content grows in significance as a source for official business records."

A native format web archive collects and enables playback of all formats of pages, embedded media, forms, interactive navigation, and hyperlinks; technologies that are pervasive in modern web content and social media. This is combined with strong forensic information and comprehensive metadata to fully recreate the user experience of web content and social media.

Hanzo enterprise web archiving and social media archiving capture the full diversity of modern websites and social media, including rich media, Flash content, hyperlinks, videos, dynamic content, blogs, SharePoint, wikis, commentary, customer forums, content behind logins, form posts, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
