HP TRIM Product Family

HP Records Manager is based on the code base of HP TRIM.

HP TRIM Base Package

In February 2010, HP released TRIM Version 7.[6] HP described this release as adding the ability to "provide transparent, policy based records management and archiving for Microsoft SharePoint environments on a single platform".[7] This was in addition to the product’s capabilities of managing electronic records and physical records in one system and in the same way regardless of their type, format or source.

HP TRIM was licensed as a base system with additional optional modules. The base package functionality was delivered through either a rich client, web client or with the HP TRIM for SharePoint module. Users could access HP TRIM functionality via Microsoft SharePoint. The HP TRIM for SharePoint modules included one for archiving and one for records management.

HP TRIM base package modules included the HP TRIM Web Client, a browser interface that complies with US 508 Accessibility Guidelines and is verified to US DoD 5015.2 V3 baseline, certified, Privacy and FOI records, meaning the software meets mandatory functional requirements for use in the United States federal government.[8]

Since 7.2 The Document Content Index was implemented using Autonomy IDOL engine for text indexing.

Other base modules included:

The Guest Gateway module allowed for a "Guest User" account with security and access restrictions and logs of all guest-user actions.
