DocAve Deployment Manager

DocAve 5

DocAve Deployment Manager for Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010 provides organizations with an easy-to-use management console designed to simplify and automate the deployment of customizations and configurations within or across SharePoint farms. DocAve helps:

  • Automate application lifecycle management by propagating changes to solutions, configurations, or customizations – including workflows – on a scheduled basis
  • Delegate solution or customization deployment tasks to appropriate farm or solution administrators in order to increase operational efficiency while maintaining production environment integrity 
  • Quickly identify web-front end (WFE) configurations, design elements, and solutions that are out of sync, and propagate changes within or across farms.

All Microsoft, All the Way

As with all AvePoint software, DocAve Deployment Manager leverages only fully supported Microsoft methodologies and API’s.

Key Advantages of the DocAve Deployment Manager for SharePoint 2010

Reduce Operational Costs with Automated Change Management

Improve IT efficiency by automating and simplifying repetitive, time-consuming SharePoint deployment customization processes, including solutions, design elements, and WFE customizations.  Easily compare environments to identify elements for propagation, and implement changes via highly intuitive wizards and familiar ribbon-based controls, allowing skilled resources to focus on more strategic, higher-value activities.

Increase Production Environment Stability

Because DocAve Deployment Manager ensures that every SharePoint farm within the development and staging phases is an exact clone of the other, complex system changes can be distributed systematically and accurately from development through to staging and production, resulting in a consistent and reliable production system.

Prevent Risk and Liability by Reducing Manual Efforts and Limiting Human Error

Automation results in faster deployment, and minimizes the number of possible errors. DocAve Deployment Manager helps mitigate the risks involved in deploying SharePoint solutions and customizations, and reduces any service disruption by eliminating the possibility of breakage caused by poorly executed upgrades or change propagation.
