Fast forward to present day and it turns out one straggler patent app request from 2010 remains.

SharePoint Solutions (news, site) decided to make accessing and integrating Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) database information from/with SharePoint less of a chore by introducing new SharePoint Data Zoom extensions.

The crew over at SharePoint Solutions (news, site) isn't one to sit around and do nothing apparently. It's been a little over a month since they released their Data Zoom Web Part for SharePoint, enabling developers to create dynamically driven content.

Now, they've gone and extended that Web Part one step further offering integration between SharePoint and Salesforce.com.

Looking for an easy way to create dynamic, data-driven content in SharePoint? SharePoint Solutions (news, site) is offering a new free tool to help you out: SharePoint Data Zoom Web Part.

Yes, you can create workflows for SharePoint lists in SharePoint Designer, but they aren't the most robust workflows you may need for your organization. Instead of hiring developers to build the workflows you need, why not try the new Workflow Essentials solution from SharePoint Solutions.

If you have SharePoint Server 2007 in your organization and you are keen to start taking advantage of more than the Team Site functionality, SharePoint Solutions is offering a 3 day instructor-led course that you shouldn’t miss.

It’s called Mission: Automation – SharePoint Workflow and InfoPath and is designed to teach information workers how to leverage SharePoint Workflows, InfoPath and SharePoint Designer to automate business processes.
