WorkLight® for SharePoint™
At home, many people already use consumer collaboration and social networking services, such as Facebook and MySpace.  In particular, the generation now entering the workforce relies on these services to find information and support from friends and colleagues. While at work, the same internet-savvy generation is using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (“MOSS”) to collaborate.
Yet, as the personal and professional lives continue to blend, there is an increasing need for a single interface to leverage personal social networks and get things done at the office. WorkLight for SharePoint makes this possible for the first time, grounded in the strategic relationship between WorkLight and Microsoft.
WorkLight for SharePoint is a software-based server platform that is installed in the organization’s data center. WorkLight integrates easily with SharePoint and enables employees to access documents and search for information using convenient Web 2.0 interfaces like iGoogle or Facebook.  As organizations update SharePoint, employees will continue to access any new functionality, without having to learn a new application or navigate new screens and menus.

 

With WorkLight, employers will:
    Reduce training and implementation costs since there is no need to train personnel on new SharePoint extensions.
    Save employees' time and effort of finding and updating information through SharePoint, since personalized updates are provided on the employee’s desktop, homepage, or mobile device.
    Streamline projects by driving collaboration with remotely-based peers through popular consumer social networking services
    Improve business processes by making relevant news and updates available to every employee, off-site and on-site
