What is Content Collector?

In today’s economic environment, you can’t afford to just archive e-mail, files, SharePoint and other content into a siloed archive and never see it again. You need to gain control of your content and use your content for a business advantage.

IBM Content Collector is an overcoupling professional software archiving solution, that exists out of five different products.
Content Collector collects, enhances and manages email, file systems, SharePoint content, and SAP data and documents.
This enables you to have a deeper understanding of what information to archive through discovery
and analytics-based assesment technologies. You can eliminate point solution complexity and
lower costs by unifying data and content archiving through common collection (ingest) and classification technologies.
