Awareness Unveils Integration with SharePoint Server

Awareness, Inc. unveiled platform integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
2007 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. This integration, developed by working with Microsoft, brings the value of social media to Microsoft Office SharePoint Products and Technologies and enables users to directly engage with Awareness-powered, external-facing Web 2.0 communities. The scalable and searchable backend of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, combined with Awareness' expertise in powering social media communities, gives companies an effective way to tie their internal collaboration closely to their external Web communities. This strategic relationship between Awareness and Microsoft is valuable for users that "live" in Microsoft Office SharePoint Products and Technologies and need to engage with groups outside the enterprise, such as customers, partners, prospects, etc. By integrating internal-facing environments with social networking participation points from external-facing Web 2.0 communities, it becomes much easier to pull valuable information into the enterprise where people can use it. The integration makes possible the following features within Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0:Dashboard of Awareness community activity; Integration with Microsoft identity management (Single Sign-On) allows for a seamless user experience; Integrated search of SharePoint Products and Technologies and Awareness content; Access to Awareness community social networking functionalities, including people lists, updateable and customizable status and profile; and Enhanced user-generated content functionality, including voting and commenting on content.
