It’s all about Groove and SharePoint Workspace

Few weeks ago, I announced GrooveIT! for My Documents Beta Program launch. The Beta program is now closed. The GrooveIT!

Announced at the end of 2007, GrooveIT! for MyDocs is a new product in the GrooveIT! line and currently available in Beta.

Product leitmotiv is : Explore. View. Publish.

Dedicated to document integration, this new application allows users to easily find and choose documents whatever they come from and, then to publish them in Groove. Connector-based, GrooveIT! for MyDocs is currently provided with 3 source connectors – File System, SharePoint, Groove – and one target connector : Groove. (New – source and target – connectors will be added in the future)
 
For example, you will be able to use GrooveIT! for MyDocs to :

- Easily send documents from a Groove workspace to another
Example : In a project use, send documents from an internal Groove workspace (your team) to an external one (you and your client).
 
- Easily send documents from a SharePoint site to a Groove workspace.
Example : In a P2P Business use, send documents from an Intranet site (your enterprise) to an external Groove workspace (your enterprise and a partner)
 
- Connect your legacy applications or office equipments such fax or scanner to Groove
Example : Publish in a Groove workspace all scanned documents – invoices, contracts, … – related to a specific project.
 
For each connector, you can also define favorites. A quick load for often used environment !
 
To note that new elements will be shortly added to this main application to provide :
- advanced search capabilities in Groove,
- document integration with Groove from within Word, Excel and PowerPoint,
- document integration with Groove from your Windows desktop.
