Information should be accessible via the Web independent of its storage location - but still targeted to the right audience and different online destinations to achieve consistent information transparency. RedDot Web Solutions for Microsoft creates the foundation for publishing company content on the Internet, intranet, or extranet in the required context easily and securely. Information portals combine content, documents, and applications from a range of systems. With RedDot, you can flexibly use documents administered in Microsoft SharePoint in all online media. Additionally, RedDot adds content management, personalization, and applications to the Microsoft SharePoint portal range of functions.

Use of Documents Across All Mediums

Editors can use documents required for the Web straight out of SharePoint. The integration solution does not require a laborious transfer to Web editors as they can integrate the documents and information seamlessly and independently from the repository. SharePoint content can either be linked or saved as a copy in RedDot. The more suitable form of integration can be used depending on whether the environment is public or protected.

Direct Document Access for Web-Page Editors

If SharePoint is used as a central repository for information, this content can be used in all online media at the push of a button in RedDot. This enables the editor to access SharePoint via a Web-based interface, to research the information there, and to link this to his or her own content. Internal SharePoint release processes ensure that the information is kept up to date.

Automatic Compilation of Result Lists

The search functions available in RedDot enable result lists to be created and displayed in any form of online media (Web sites, intranets, extranets, and portals). This allows for rapid publication of entire document lists. 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.

Multifunctional Content Usage

Content created with RedDot can also be used in the portal (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007). Intelligent and personalized delivery enables the display of specific content, customized for the user, and in the context of the portal page. Furthermore, content from other systems can also be displayed in Microsoft SharePoint using RedDot. The added value of the Microsoft SharePoint portal increases and the users are able to find the information they need from dispersed systems faster.
