Connectors
Employees are asking for people-centric collaboration, both within the framework of the Microsoft SharePoint intranet and the IBM Lotus Connections communities. While it is easy to integrate the Socialtext platform with your own applications, our pre-built connectors for SharePoint and Lotus Connections let you rapidly integrate people-centric collaboration into these environments.
Socialtext Connector
for Microsoft SharePoint
Socialtext integrates with Microsoft SharePoint in a way that gives you a unified experience and the best of both applications. You can draft content on Socialtext workspace pages, gather collaborative feedback from team members, and then publish a final version of this content as a Microsoft Word document stored inside of SharePoint. With this integration, you see various summary views of Socialtext workspace content inside SharePoint, such as 'What's New' and 'Watchlist' views, which gives you a unified and seamless experience. You can also link to files in the SharePoint repository from any Socialtext workspace page.
Since Socialtext integrates with Active Directory, you can provide employees with single sign-on access to both the SharePoint server and Socialtext workspaces. Socialtext supports Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 as well as Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
Socialtext Connector
for Lotus Connections
With the Socialtext connector for Lotus Connections, each Lotus Connections community can now seamlessly access an integrated Socialtext workspace. This allows all members of the Lotus community to collaboratively and securely author, review, and share information with each other.
The Socialtext workspace is available from both the home page and within the navigation panel of the Lotus Connections community, just like any other component, so for users, no additional training is required. Security is automatically configured in the Socialtext workspace to match that of the Lotus Connections community, so no additional steps are required by the Lotus administrator.
The integration of Socialtext and Lotus Connections provides users with the best of both platforms, seamlessly and securely.
