Transform collaboration into process-driven collaboration Traditional Microsoft SharePoint deployments certainly support robust team collaboration. However, Microsoft SharePoint is disconnected from an organization’s deployed enterprise software and, as a result, is poorly integrated with core business processes. By bringing Microsoft SharePoint content, SAPsoftware transaction data, and robust ECM control poli- cies together within Microsoft SharePoint, SAP Content Management helps teams ensure that work streams within Microsoft SharePoint fully synchronize with core business processes. For example, with SAP Content Management and SAP Extended ECM deployed alongside Microsoft SharePoint, plant and maintenance information can be managed more efficiently and transparently from within Microsoft SharePoint. Asset management teams can execute highly efficient plant maintenance processes using transaction data generated by their deployed enterprise asset manage- ment software from SAP. And shipping specialists can improve document generation and distribution processes – all from within Microsoft SharePoint. When deployed with SAP Extended ECM, SAP Content Management connects Microsoft SharePoint content and users with SAP software content and users.

Control proliferation of Microsoft SharePoint content Microsoft SharePoint’s popularity often means a proliferation of thousands and even tens of thousands of Microsoft SharePoint sites that are used and then left in systems across the company.And too often, IT lacks any control over the sites despite the increase in database growth, server costs, and maintenance effort. With site management automation and user self-services, SAP Content Management helps IT administer sites more efficiently and cost-effectively. Using the site management console function- ality of SAP Content Management available through the central administration interface of Microsoft SharePoint, IT staff can delegate control of Microsoft SharePoint sites to local administrators. They can use advanced site templates and self-service configuration functionality to accelerate site deployment. SAP Content Management also supports the archiving and deletion of redundant and inac- tive sites from within Microsoft SharePoint. This allows organizations to reduce the main- tenance effort and costs associated with Microsoft SharePoint while protecting information security and compliance.
