Colligo, NewsGator partner on SharePoint

Two Microsoft SharePoint solution partners, NewsGator and Colligo Networks, are joining forces to combine social computing, e-mail management and document repository content as a single, integrated body of business knowledge, reports eWeek.

The partnership combines the SharePoint 2011 collaboration platform, NewsGator Social Sites 2010 social computing suite, and Colligo's solutions for e-mail management in SharePoint.

The solution also supports filing from smartphones and tablets, and gives users the option to work in offline mode.

Channelpro says the solution is aimed at easing deployment and increasing user adoption of SharePoint for enterprise content management (ECM) applications.

The solution is available now, and can be centrally deployed and managed for both on-premise and cloud-based SharePoint installations.

According to PR Web, ECM is a rapidly growing application for SharePoint. As reported in the AIIM State of the Industry 2011 survey, 70% of organisations with more than 5 000 employees use SharePoint, and 45% consider it to be one of their primary ECM systems.
