One of the companies I have been recently engaged with as part of our Enterprise Incubation program is NextPage, a venture backed company building Compliance and Information Risk solutions based on our SharePoint Technologies. The company is lead by seasoned veterans that have launched prior successful startups - one a successful search business acquired by Fast Search and Transfer - which was later acquired by Microsoft.
In this new venture, NextPage have built a Tracking Platform that mitigates enterprise risk, increases document policy compliance and reduces the cost of e-discovery by tracking and managing documents no matter where they are located – hard drives, USB’s, Shared Drives, SharePoint, or Email attachments. Their technology is patent pending and proactively tackles the risk by tracking, classifying, executing policy, and reporting on the compliance of all documents across the enterprise. The NextPage suite of applications is being deployed across large enterprises to manage information risk.
I have been working with Darren Lee, President and CEO over the last several weeks on Engagement plan to get NextPage entrenched into the Microsoft ecosystem. The company has recently been accepted into the Microsoft Startup Accelerator Program and will also be part of the Microsoft High Potential ISV program in the next fiscal year.The company is currently involved in joint sales activities with the Microsoft Life Sciences vertical and will be expanding to other verticals in the coming year.
The company is funded by Oak Investment Partners and Dominion Ventures and are currently engaged in joint Enterprise sector engagement activities with our Enterprise Partner Group (Microsoft's global sales force).
