GroupSystems Integrates ThinkTank(R) with Microsoft SharePoint
ThinkTank Users can now Schedule, Create, Update and Join Group Intelligence Sessions Using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 DENVER, Aug. 5 /EMWNews/ -- GroupSystems, the global leader in team collaboration for innovation, decision-making, leadership and a pioneer in the Group Intelligence segment, today announced the availability of their ThinkTank -- SharePoint Integration. The ThinkTank -- SharePoint Integration version 1.0 creates a seamless integration between GroupSystems' ThinkTank v2.3 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The integration creates a new SharePoint event type specifically designed to enable ThinkTank sessions. Upon saving the new SharePoint event, a corresponding ThinkTank session is automatically created including the session title, description, location, start and end dates and times, and an agenda based on the selected template. "The integration between the two programs works and is easy to execute," says Tiffany Miller, Sr. Manager, Ideation at GSD&M IdeaCity. "We are long time users to both GroupSystems' ThinkTank and Microsoft SharePoint. This new integration has the potential to simplify our use of ThinkTank for both our internal and client collaboration projects," continues Miller. Additionally, session participants can join the ThinkTank session directly from the SharePoint site. Participants who are members of the SharePoint site can automatically receive email notification of the new ThinkTank session event along with a URL link in the message enabling them to join the session right from their email Inbox. Microsoft Office users may also access the event calendar from Outlook to view, update, or join the session. "Microsoft SharePoint has rapidly become the collaboration platform of choice for millions of people. By connecting our leading group collaboration and team decision-making software, ThinkTank with Microsoft SharePoint, we are making it even easier for companies to tap the wellspring of their organization's group intelligence," says Jim Godsey, GroupSystems Vice President of Marketing and Channels. "The ThinkTank -- SharePoint Integration is a turnkey webpart extension, built to standard Microsoft SharePoint integration specifications and delivers exceptional simplicity and value instantly," continues Godsey.
