Browser-based GOSS iCM SharePoint Connector provides users with control over which documents in SharePoint are presented on their website, ensuring that one single, up to date version is always published. Documents created in SharePoint, then published via GOSS iCM, can be updated in SharePoint, and updated version will be automatically published, which helps maintain website that gives customers value added services by ensuring that information is always up-to-date and relevant.
GOSS Enables Easy, Low Cost Web Content Management Collaboration with Launch of Sharepoint Connector
Web Content Management specialist, GOSS Interactive, is launching technology to enable multiple users, contributors and administrators to publish content stored within the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS), to the web.
The GOSS iCM SharePoint Connector provides the benefits of collaboration without need for investment in Microsoft server licences and Client Access licences, as deployments expand.
A browser-based technology, GOSS iCM SharePoint Connector requires little technical know-how to set up and use, so minimal administrator training is required. It provides users with control over which documents in SharePoint are presented on their website, ensuring that one single, up to date, correct version is always published.
Rob McCarthy, Managing Director at GOSS Interactive, explains, "The SharePoint Connector was created to help our customers link two of their key business tools; utilising content from SharePoint for the web, via GOSS iCM. The concept is simple: A document is created in SharePoint, the connector automatically synchronises the document with GOSS iCM, which controls the publication of the document to one or many websites. The document can then be updated or removed in SharePoint, and the updated version will be automatically published on the website or removed.
"There are tactical timesaving and collaboration benefits, and potential costs savings as fewer MS server licences will need to be purchased. Plus it is really easy for content contributors, as an absolute minimum of training is required."
How it works
A Workflow is triggered automatically when an item is added to a List or updated. A Workflow can also be triggered manually by a user with suitable privileges in MOSS. The Workflow communicates with GOSS iCM to allow the item to be added, updated or removed from the GOSS iCM media library. In addition, Workflows can be configured to carry out their actions only when a particular field contains a certain pre-defined value. This simple but powerful feature makes it easy for customers to control iCM content publishing from their own Workflows.
GOSS enables organisations to maintain a website that gives customers value added services by ensuring that information is always up-to-date and relevant. A document that is created in SharePoint, then published via GOSS iCM, can then be updated in SharePoint, and the updated version will be automatically published on the website.
