Spotlight: Better Connections in SharePoint
December 7, 2011
With an enterprise solution as vast as SharePoint, updates are necessary and can be multi-faceted. The Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog gives us the rundown on the latest update in, “What’s New in SharePoint Online: November 2011 Update.”
Among smaller things like the addition of a recycle bin, fixes, and external sharing, a great deal of attention was paid to connectivity in the latest update.
“In addition to earlier versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox, SharePoint Online now officially supports Internet Explorer 9 and Chrome. No matter which browser you prefer, you’ll get a better experience. Just launch your favorite browser. Then, hit your favorite SharePoint Online team site or intranet company site, work with Office Web Apps, and more. Connections to other services are also better. For instance, Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers can now take advantage of the rich SharePoint Online document management functionality directly within the Microsoft Dynamics CRM application.”
We understand that SharePoint is a popular enterprise solution, but it seems at times that they are playing catch up to common sense features that other solutions already offer. We like Fabasoft Mindbreeze and its anticipation of users needs. Their broad range of Connectors offerings has bridged all the gaps that SharePoint users have been left wanting.
“As the optimum search and information access solution, Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise facilitates the comprehensive incorporation of all electronic data repositories. Data sources and storage systems are connected to Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise via Fabasoft Mindbreeze Connectors. The standard product scope includes Connectors for the most common data sources.”
Fabasoft Mindbreeze is smart, lean, and intuitive. SharePoint will continue to be a common and popular enterprise solution, but for organizations that desire a better user experience and less time spent running updates, an alternative like Mindbreeze might make sense. We think it is worth a second look.
