IBM Connections Plug-in for Microsoft SharePoint

The IBM Connections Plug-in for Microsoft SharePoint brings Connections applications such as searching by tag, searching by profile, and viewing business cards, into the SharePoint environment. Install the Connections Widget for Microsoft SharePoint so that Connections users can access documents from a SharePoint server.

The IBM Connections Plug-in for Microsoft SharePoint provides the following applications:

• Profiles search for finding people in the organization. If colleagues you find with a Profiles search are in the SharePoint directory, we can add them to the SharePoint group or site.

• Business card for getting contact and social networking information about users in the organization. From the business card, we can create a mail message to this colleague or open their blog, bookmarks, or full profile.

• Tag cloud for finding content that is stored on IBM Connections servers. Clicking a tag launches a search that matches against all Connections services. For example, clicking a new-hire tag might return a community and a blog post.

• The IBM Connections Widget for Microsoft SharePoint is a widget that you install separately on an IBM Connections server so that community members can upload, view, and share documents stored on a Microsoft SharePoint server.

To get started, download the plug-in from the Connections catalog website: https://greenhouse.lotus.com/catalog.
