SharePoint Doc Management from MetaVis
MetaVis (news, site) has just announced the release of its new Information Manager for SharePoint 2010 which enables users to bulk import, copy and classify content and documents directly from the SharePoint user interface.
Embedded directly into the SharePoint 2010 ribbon, it allows authorized users to copy content between different SharePoint sites, site collections, list and libraries, as well as bulk import from File Shares (while retaining file system metadata) and tag in one quick, simple process from the SharePoint ribbon.
As a result, users won’t have to individually classify documents or items; instead they will have flexibility to apply metadata in bulk during file import, copy or just in-place to improve SharePoint search and findability.
Jive Buys OffiSync
Acquisition news from Jive (news, site), which has just announced that it has bought OffiSync, a company that provides social solutions to the Microsoft environment, including Outlook and Office.
The deal will give Jive the ability to offer enterprises an easy way to make Microsoft Word and Outlook instantly social and tightly integrated with Jive.
With OffiSync, companies will be able to liberate and ‘socialize’ content in Outlook, and send information to where ever it’s needed.
As a result, users will be able to use Microsoft applications to create content while also sharing, annotating and collaborating on the resulting documents using Jive’s social capabilities, without leaving their familiar user interface.
For email, users will also be able to immediately promote important conversations directly into a social discussion on the Jive platform. They will also be able to view and reply to discussions on the Jive platform from their Microsoft Outlook inbox.
