VORSITE paves the way to create a smooth integration between the latest cutting-edge search technology from Microsoft and the FileNet P8 Content Management Platform Seattle, WA - April 2, 2007 - VORSITE Corporation, the recognized leader in connecting Microsoft SharePoint as a front-end to Enterprise Content Management systems and critical line-of-business applications, announced the release of their new Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 Search Connector Technology for the FileNet P8 Platform. “There has been a lot of buzz in the market surrounding the latest releases from Microsoft, especially surrounding the new Enterprise Search product” noted Aaron Nettles, CEO and co-founder of Vorsite. He went on to say, “With the recent release of this new and even more powerful business tool by Microsoft, we wanted to alert both current potential users of the FileNet Content Management platform that when they decide to adopt the new Microsoft Enterprise Search, they will be able to experience the same smooth, cross-platform user experience they have come to rely upon from VORSITE.” Rano Joshi, Vice President of Products and Services noted that, “We are moving to create new Connectors that will permit users of the FileNet P8 Platform to take full advantage of the new and more powerful features being presented by Microsoft’s latest product releases.” For individual FileNet P8 owners that decide to utilize the new Microsoft Office 2007 System or begin to integrate using Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 or adopt Microsoft Enterprise Search, this announcement means that their existing FileNet P8 content management platform will still prove to be a solid investment while still taking advantage of the experience Microsoft Technologies provide end-users. About VorsiteThe Vorsite Connector Technologies were designed on the Microsoft .Net Platform and use standards based web services to provide true enterprise application integration. The Vorsite Connector Technologies currently consist of two main connector types: Content Connectors and Search Connectors.

The site is looking sexy - just going through its final testing before it is released - I will post the URL within 24 hours.
Nice sexy MOSS 2007 Web content managed website built by a killer local partner (shout out to Anthony Woodward) and hosted by another great local partner (shout out to Jorke Odolphi).
Sometime later I'll blog about how I built the speaker management system using WSS out in the cloud to manage speaker bios; scheduling; expenses etc.
Alistair has blogged about how Data#3 rebuilt their intranet.
See the k2 site here.
This is one of the best mini site's I've ever seen in terms of getting the message across simply.
