Hommes & Process announced during Microsoft TechDays France that GrooveIT! for Outlook and GrooveIT! for SharePoint are now “Office 2010 ready”!

As a reminder, GrooveIT! for Outlook provide users with the ability to send emails, attachments, contacts, tasks, events and RSS feeds, from Outlook to Groove/SharePoint Workspace. The transfer can be done on demand (you select an item and decide where you would like to post it in Groove / SPW) or based on rules (You create a “link” between an Outlook folder and a location (workspace / tool) in Groove/SharePoint Workspace and/or define some publication criteria (ex : if this email contains this text…)). With these features, GrooveIT! for Outlook provides users with the ability to easily archive information and/or share it with their team.The new version allows user to use GrooveIT! for Outlook in Outlook 2010 and to post choosen items in Groove workspaces (V2007) hosted in SharePoint Workspace 2010.

GrooveIT! for SharePoint is an application hosted in Internet Explorer that help users to collect files stored in SharePoint and share them in Groove. The new version will allow user to collect files in both SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 file librairies and publish them in Groove workspace (V2007) hosted in SharePoint Workspace 2010.
