Workshare Extends SharePoint and iManage
Announcement posted by Sphere Public Relations 21 Mar 2013
Workshare, a leading provider of secure enterprise collaboration applications, today announced its integration with Microsoft SharePoint and Autonomy iManage, allowing users to securely share documents in fewer clicks. This is the first in a series of planned integrations to bridge the gap between traditional document management systems (DMS) and enterprise content management (ECM) systems to connect Workshare’s collaboration platform with SharePoint and iManage.
The out-of-the-box integration saves time and increases security for users collaborating inside and outside the organisation by making sure users do not need to download documents and send them as an email attachment. With the SharePoint and iManage integration, users can easily synchronise documents stored in the DMS or ECM to Workshare’s secure platform. Collaboration on the platform is reinforced by the organisation’s data security policy and reporting.
Once the document has been synchronised with the platform, all collaborators work from the same version. An indicator appears in the DMS or ECM to notify users that there is a collaboration happening via Workshare’s platform. From the platform, collaborators can use the accurate document comparison and tagged commenting unique to Workshare’s online and mobile applications and be confident that all document changes are managed throughout the document lifecycle. In addition when collaborators are ready to work in the DMS or ECM, the latest version of the document is synced from Workshare’s platform to SharePoint or iManage.
“Microsoft and Autonomy are among the leading DMS and ECM vendors. Their applications are designed to enforce structure and administrative control for document management. With Workshare, organisations have that same level of control beyond the firewall and collaborators have a simple way to access and collaborate on content,” said Anthony Foy, CEO of Workshare. “We’re focused on optimising legacy investments in SharePoint and iManage to mobilise content securely within and outside of the organisation.”
