Information should be accessible via the Web independent of its storage location – but still targeted to the right audience or channel to achieve consistent information transparency. Open Text Web Solutions for Microsoft creates the foundation for publishing corporate content to the Internet, intranet or extranet in the desired context easily and securely. Portals are often used create synergies by combining content, documents and applications from a range of systems. With Open Text Web Solutions, you can flexibly use documents administered in Sharepoint and combine this with best-of-breed content management, personalisation and application integration capabilities directly within the Microsoft SharePoint portal experience.

Leverage Documents Across All Mediums

It's often the case that documents within Sharepoint are desired for use in different contexts: perhaps an annual report that needs to be made public, or a data sheet that should be made available to select vendors on a supplier extranet. With Web Solutions, your editors can now select documents straight out of SharePoint and publish them to the web without having to learn a new tool or login to separate applications. Sharepoint documents can either be securely linked to directly or published as a snapshot to the web site in mind. The former method is suited for secure intranets, while the latter is intended for sharing internal corporate documents on the public facing web site. What's more is that Web Solutions can publish the latest  version of the Sharepoint document online, making sure your information is correct and up to date - automatically. 

Handle Multiple Documents Easily

By leveraging the in-built search metadata of Sharepoint, Open Text Web Solutions enable lists of documents to be created and displayed in any form of online media (Web sites, intranets, extranets, and portals). This allows for rapid publication of several documents, policies or procedures in one quick action. To be able to update search results quickly and reliably, you can save the predefined search criteria in “saved searches” and run or change these when necessary. The documents that are found can be sorted by attributes, limited to a certain number of items, and later published to any Web page.
