Connect for SharePoint

KnowledgeLake Connect enables users to save and index content from any desktop application to a SharePoint document library.

Connect for SharePoint - Integrate any windows application with SharePoint

Overview

KnowledgeLake Connect enables users to save content on an ad-hoc basis - such as Office documents, PDF files and e-mail messages in a single step. All users in your organization can easily and accurately index documents from any desktop application, and then save these documents to a SharePoint document library.

KnowledgeLake Connect provides integration to virtually any line of business application including Microsoft Dynamics. This feature provides the ability to scan, index and search directly from your line of business application.

KnowledgeLake Connect increases the usability of SharePoint through features like Send To integration, a single login across pre-defined sites and prompts for document meta-data. KnowledgeLake Connect also monitors the files you retrieve from SharePoint and updates SharePoint as you save changes to your documents.
