Through two SharePoint integration options that can be used independently or leveraged together, you can provide powerful single master tracking and secure document exchange as part of a single intuitive view integrated directly within Office 2007.

Option 2: Create and directly link to Collaborative Extranet’s & Deal Room’s

Workshare Collaboration Integration with SharePoint 2007
Allow Workshare users to easily access and interface with SharePoint as an intranet and/or extranet portal for workspace collaboration with internal and/or external reviewers. Workshare’s interface to SharePoint extends document control capabilities to SharePoint extranets and deal rooms. Changes made to documents posted to these collaborative workspaces are automatically tracked, extracted, and synchronized with changes made from all other contributor sources, such as review copies returned by email.

Secure Document Exchange

  • Ensure content posted to SharePoint portals adhere to corporate or regulatory policies
  • Prevent leaks of confidential or inappropriate content such as intellectual property
  • Enforce encryption and/or information rights restrictions on sensitive information

Accuracy

  • Accurately capture all changes from all reviewers, regardless of whether via email or SharePoint
  • Automatically extract and combine all document changes made to intranet/extranet review copies

Tracking and Synchronization

  • Seamlessly post and track review copies within SharePoint extranet and intranet workspaces

Guaranteeing users are working off the master document, whether online or even offline, is critical. This issue can be a key hurdle to widespread adoption of SharePoint. Workshare Professional uniquely identifies the master document from any filestore, whether emailed or posted to a portal, preventing many potential mishaps. It’s a key piece of the puzzle to maintaining accurate and efficient document management with Exchange and SharePoint in the mix.
