Facilitating content access for SharePoint

VirtualWorks has announced a new version of ViaWorks, which is designed to give organizations quicker and easier access to content critical to business operations.

ViaWorks allows users to pull both structured and unstructured external data into their SharePoint experience, no matter where it lives, using the familiar SharePoint interface. It’s also said to ease the burden on the IT department through out-of-the-box functionality without having to move a single file and without the need for migration, custom coding or integration, says VirtualWorks. Further, the company reports, support for Exchange Online extends the ability to access information in e-mail messages or attachments to users of the online version of Exchange.

In addition to improved access for SharePoint and Exchange Online environments, ViaWorks now features additional capabilities on its Web dashboard. Administrators have graphical displays that give them insights into the indexing progress and the volume and variety of files in their organizations.
