Ektron gets to the point

Ektron has built a SharePoint Connector for Ektron CMS400.Net, allowing Ektron customers to employ SharePoint's collaborative capabilities to create documents. These documents can then be delivered to a public facing Web site, corporate intranet or extranet, enabled with all the latest search, navigation, Web 2.0 and social networking functionality provided by CMS400.Net, Ektron says.

The Connector is integrated fully into the menu structure of SharePoint and allows SharePoint users to distribute documents to their corporate intranet or public facing Web site, through a simple wizard, without leaving the SharePoint environment.

Ektron claims CMS400.Net adds value to SharePoint-created documents including enterprise search and taxonomy technology; "social bookmaking" favorites to personalize how users interact with the assets; and Web 2.0 functionality, such as content ratings and discussion boards, which allow users to provide feedback on documents.
