SharePoint and Outlook integration tool improves knowledge sharing

19th July 2005, West Midlands

Trinity Expert Systems has today released a free uploader tool that allows seamless integration between Microsoft Outlook and SharePoint Portal Server (SharePoint).

When installed, the tool forms an integral part of Outlook, and allows an easy ‘drag and drop’ action to copy or move specific emails into document libraries within a SharePoint intranet. The uploader tool provides quick and easy access to the relevant SharePoint document library.

Steve McDonagh, sales and marketing director states: “By giving users an easy way to upload emails to a corporate intranet, our uploader tool will improve collaboration across an organisation. This will quickly reduce reliance on an individual employee’s knowledge and help eradicate the pockets of information email inboxes have become.”

The uploader tool retrieves information through a locally cached server, providing quicker access to the information required. It also allows emails to be uploaded to SharePoint while offline, storing them in a queue until the user goes online. This feature means remote workers can quickly share information contained within emails across the organisation.

Steve McDonagh continues: “We have released this product free of charge, to ensure all our clients using SharePoint can benefit from our expertise. We have seen considerable take up of the tool across our existing client base, and because of its ability to add significant value to a SharePoint deployment, we anticipate seeing even further demand for the product.”

The uploader tool can be downloaded here.
