Ektron Integrates CMS Tool with Microsoft Sharepoint Portal

Ektron Inc., an innovator in Web content management and authoring software, today announced product integrations with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003. The company’s flagship content management solution, CMS300, and the world’s most popular editor tool, Ektron eWebEditPro, will now work within SharePoint Portal Server 2003. Organizations can leverage their investment in SharePoint to support intranets and extranets, while gaining a rich content editor and a robust CMS to enhance their content, workflow and overall presentation of Web-based information. The integration of Ektron eWebEditPro means SharePoint users can take advantage of Ektron’s robust HTML authoring capabilities to create and modify content. eWebEditPro has an intuitive browser-based user interface and a customizable toolbar, simplifying content creation while hiding HTML creation from business users. The integration of Ektron CMS300 into SharePoint means organizations can easily create information feeds into SharePoint out of the CMS300 content repository, and edit SharePoint content with the built-in eWebEditPro editor. Ektron has developed nine drag-and-drop Web Parts, or components; such as list summaries, search and calendar functions that can be used in SharePoint to optimize information sharing. Users can easily pull content authored and managed in CMS300 into SharePoint and share it with others. Read.
