Knowledge Vault is "partner ready" and provides immediate benefits, including:

• Simplifying the management of clients' cloud collaboration platforms to deliver a single online service that enables value-add services across migration, security, audit, compliance and operations. It offers one platform for multiple connectors, including Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, OneDrive, Box.net, DropBox and Salesforce.
• Extending current services to offer high-value, low-touch analytics-as-a-service that drives customer interaction and delivers high-value services to customers, while reducing administrative overhead.
• Aligning to customer cloud projects and priorities to provide the visibility and automation required to perform security and compliance reviews, O365 migrations, simplified ongoing management and license optimization.

Christian Ehrenthal, CEO and co-founder, Knowledge Vault, said:
"The advantage of cloud platforms is increased flexibility and reduced – or eliminated – management overhead associated with the underlying infrastructure. However, a number of governance tasks remain. Managing configuration and enforcing and auditing appropriate access and license management, to name a few, still need to be performed effectively. By delivering the analytics-as-a-service, Knowledge Vault lets limited IT resources be allocated more strategically. We designed and launched the Knowledge Vault platform to reduce risk and costs, improve decision making and ensure good data governance."

Rainer Maurer, CEO, N3K Network Systems, authorized Knowledge Vault value-added reseller in Germany, said:
"Gartner predicts that a major shift toward cloud office systems will begin by the first half of 2015 and reach 33 percent penetration by 2017. With the growing adoption, the ability to enforce appropriate access and auditing, license management, security reporting and ongoing administrative tasks are essential to the ongoing success of these services. Knowledge Vault will help our customers manage these critical elements while providing rebranded value-add reporting services on infrastructure, activities, security and audit. We couldn't be happier with the platform."
