Search and Act in SharePoint
The Business Challenge
Some departments use SharePoint as their preferred
workgroup interface. While SharePoint has its own content
management features, it’s often necessary for departmental
users to access and use documents stored and managed in other
enterprise content repositories. This poses two challenges for
users: they need to find and work directly with the documents
housed outside of SharePoint. Without the proper tools, users
need to leave SharePoint and use proprietary ECM interfaces
to perform searches and editing actions. This is a slow and
clumsy process that becomes even harder as more external
ECM systems are added.
The EntropySoft Solution
EntropySoft’s FAST Search for SharePoint and FAST ESP
Connectors allow documents from external content repositories
to be included within their indexes. This means users can
securely search and find documents from these external ECM
systems directly from the native search bar in SharePoint.
When coupled with the EntropySoft Content Hub SharePoint
Edition™, users can work with and act on ECM system
content as if it was stored within SharePoint. They never have
to leave SharePoint to act on external documents; this means
users are able to check-out, edit, and check-in documents
directly from and back to the ECM system, so that external content
is never duplicated. Users can access document versions
and metadata, and with the appropriate permissions, they
can also edit meta data or delete versions. From EntropySoft
View, users experience tight integration with Microsoft Office
applications and can directly edit files in the ECM system
without saving local copies.
Results
When using the EntropySoft search module for FAST and
SharePoint Search Server, integrating your organization's ECM
systems with the SharePoint portal is straightforward. Users
easily find the enterprise data they need, and can work directly in
Microsoft Office, as if the data was stored within the SharePoint
portal natively.
