MetaVis Adds Backup and Migration Tools to OneDrive for Business

MetaVis Technologies, Inc. announced expanded functionality for OneDrive for Business.

The management suite allows customers to administer, backup, secure and understand analytics pertaining to the business environments. Customer can also bulk migrate content stored in SharePoint, enterprise Google Drive or other cloud file sync and share accounts such as Box and Dropbox to OneDrive.

“As an administrator it is crucial to know how your employees are using their OneDrive for Business accounts. This helps you better understand adoption and enables you to put strategies in place to increase proper usage,” said Peter Senescu, co-founder and president, MetaVis. “You don’t just want employees to use their OneDrive accounts, you want the right content stored in them as well. Knowing who is using their account to store music or personal photos over who is using it to store actual business is an important insight. Other very essential questions organizations should be asking are, who is sharing what with whom, how much do they share, and based on the findings, which forum is the best for collaboration on this particular piece of content? These are just a few of the insights customers can gain by using the MetaVis OneDrive Management Suite.“
