Collabware CLM
Collabware CLM manages electronic, email, and physical records within SharePoint.
What Collabware CLM is
Collabware CLM manages electronic, email, and physical records within SharePoint. It combines case management, lifecycle workflows, search, and records management for organizations that want to control content through its retention and disposition stages. For electronic records and cases, administrators can set rules for classification, retention, and disposition and apply them across SharePoint. The product also tracks physical-record inventories and storage, with circulation handled through open or request-based processes. Metadata queries help locate records, while legal holds prevent held content from being modified. Users can build workflows and produce dynamic audit reports in Excel format. CLM runs within existing SharePoint infrastructure, supports multiple farms, and integrates natively with SharePoint 2013, 2016, and 2019. It includes in-process and web service APIs. The vendor identifies it as DoD 5015.2 certified and says it adds a security layer over SharePoint safeguards. Pricing is $192 a year, billed annually, with a minimum purchase of 100 users; volume discounts are available.
