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 increases the usability of SharePoint through features like Send To integration, a single login across pre-defined sites and prompts for document meta-data.
