SmiKar provides a suite of archiving tools specifically designed for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online environments. Its core offerings—Squirrel, Chipmunk, and SharePoint Storage Explorer—address the challenges of managing storage costs, compliance, and data sovereignty for enterprise IT teams using Microsoft's cloud platforms. The tools are built to ensure that archived data remains within the customer’s own Azure subscription, rather than being held by a third-party provider.
Squirrel facilitates automated archiving of inactive SharePoint documents by moving them to Azure Blob Storage in the customer’s own account. It offers features such as self-service archiving, data rehydration, recycle bin capture, AI-generated document summaries, and security and detection capabilities. Squirrel also compresses and encrypts archived content before upload to minimize storage footprint and enhance security. Chipmunk is focused on archiving data from departed Microsoft 365 users, automatically preserving OneDrive, Exchange Online, and Teams data for former employees. Both Squirrel and Chipmunk support on-demand restoration of archived data through self-service tools, and provide per-job audit trails, retention rules, and support for compliance with Microsoft Purview, GDPR, and other industry-specific requirements.
The SharePoint Storage Explorer is a free tool for SharePoint administrators, enabling visualization of SharePoint usage, identification of the largest sites, and planning of archiving strategies. SmiKar’s products are deployed directly into the customer’s Azure tenant, with Chipmunk available through the Azure Marketplace for streamlined procurement. The platform emphasizes that customer data never leaves the organization’s own Azure environment, supporting compliance, sovereignty, and exit strategies.
SmiKar positions itself as a specialist independent software vendor and a registered Microsoft Partner, with its tools verified on the Azure Marketplace. The company highlights its focus on enterprise IT needs, providing engineering-led support with direct access to product engineers.
