SharePoint Connector

Eliminate information silos which can easily accumulate when a company has a large number of SharePoint sites

Companies often have several de-centralised SharePoint sites scattered across the organisation, created by numerous internal teams. In the absence of a single point for searching the entire company knowledge base, information silos quickly appear – making the workforce less productive.

Create a one-stop-shop for all knowledge

Interact’s SharePoint Connector is a dual-purpose development that connects Interact Intranet to the Microsoft platform -SharePoint, turning the intranet into a one-stop-shop for all corporate knowledge. It’s compatible with both SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010.

Eliminate information silos

Interact’s SharePoint Connector eliminates information silos by unifying access, search results and document storage – eradicating the problem of prolonged content searching in various knowledge accumulations. More importantly, it allows employees to locate information in places they didn’t know existed.

Users can search document libraries across multiple SharePoint sites from a single search in the intranet, without the requirement to migrate all of the existing content. Alternatively, intranet administrators can use Interact’s SharePoint Connector homepage widget to create a targeted search functionality focusing on a specific SharePoint library.

Add a social layer to your SharePoint content

By integrating SharePoint sites to Interact Intranet companies can easily add a social layer to all their SharePoint content. Users can take advantage of the powerful social intranet features available in Interact Intranet including; @tagging and #tagging via document comments, best bet search tools, content feedback tools, ratings, and keyword tagging . In addition, Interact Intranet’s Clever Linker tool allows content contributors to dynamically embed SharePoint documents within blogs, documents, homepage widgets and discussion boards. This brings both intelligence and collaboration to your SharePoint content, enabling employees to be more efficient and informed.

Easy browser editing and co-authoring

The SharePoint Connector makes it easy for users to edit Microsoft Office documents directly within the browser from the intranet, without the requirement to have Microsoft Office client applications installed. Colleagues are also able to simultaneously edit shared Word and PowerPoint documents without impeding each other’s work, simplifying the content management process and removing the painful merging, overwriting and locking out of documents.
