There’s yet another player in the social media archiving and surveillance space.
Yesterday, SunGard, the mammoth software and technology provider to the financial services industry, announced that it added Social Media Surveillance to its Protegent compliance supervision and surveillance tool.

Here’s a clip from the release:
Protegent Social Media Surveillance is the result of a partnership between SunGard and SiteQuest Technologies Inc., a leading provider of social media Web archiving tools. The new solution leverages SiteQuest Technologies’ Web consumption technology and SunGard’s Protegent comprehensive compliance rules library to automate monitoring of social networking activity.
SiteQuest has not come across our radar for social medial archiving, so this is a new vendor for us in this space.
The closest comparison we can make to SunGard’s offering is the recent partnership between MarketCounsel and Arkovi featured in our Bits & Bytes post for November 19, 2010. Arkovi’s Enterprise package, starting at $99/month, offers message surveillance prior to public posting on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
We don’t yet know where Protegent falls in the pricing spectrum, but when we find out we’ll be sure to update our resource information as appropriate.
