Enterprise Integration for SharePoint

Business Benefits

Enterprise Integration for SharePoint (EIS) provides value in several areas:

• Improved user experience. Using EIS, all content is accessible through a common SharePoint interface, regardless of its source. Multiple repositories can be securely browsed, searched, managed and updated – users spend less time searching, and more time working with relevant information.
• Native security. SeeUnity enables native security settings to be preserved through the SharePoint user interface.
• Content-centric applications. Content management systems are often criticized for being limited to a fixed set of features. Using EIS, these repositories can be used by SharePoint as data sources. Administrators can configure EIS web parts to introduce SharePoint applications that use content in new, more powerful ways.
• Training & Support. Users can be trained on a single set of best practices – lowering the cost of new-hire training. SeeUnity’s out-of-the-box products can connect your users and content in hours and days, not weeks and months. SeeUnity integration allows companies to standardize on a single SharePoint interface, and discontinuing troublesome native, desktop clients. Supporting the user experience through standard Microsoft Office and web-based interface saves costs and time for deploying your ECM solutions across the enterprise.
