The BoardVantage Vault eliminates a critical challenge with electronic distribution of sensitive content - maintaining control when documents are stored locally. The Vault is unique in that any content, whether stored on the servers or on a local disk, remains under central control for the purpose of retention, versioning and syncing. This means that for the first time it is feasible to extend document retention policies to a user's laptop.
