| December 05, 2003 | | Integration with Microsoft Office and MySmartChannels deepens with the addition of new Office Research Services. | |
Today we started testing the
new MySmartChannels Office 2003 Research Service (ORS), a web service
integration with Microsoft Office 2003.
MySmartChannels
Office Research Services (ORS) lets Microsoft Office 2003 users securely search
across any number of MySmartChannels servers from any Office 2003 application,
including Outlook, OneNote and Visio. Search capabilities leverage the full capabilities of the
MySmartChannels platform.
Feature
Highlights
- Find channels,
channel items, spaces, and users
- Find semantically
related items using SmartPoints(tm)
- Login for secure
access based on your credentials
- Single sign-on
from any Office application
- Search public
content without logging in
- Monitor any search
result using your RSS news reader
The Office Research
task pane (new in Office 2003) makes it delightfully simple to search both
public and secure content sources. Additionally, users can subscribe to
any search result as an RSS feed. By subscribing to a research RSS feed in
a news reader such as NewsGator, users are automatically
notified as new search results become available.
If you have Office
2003 installed and would like to be an early beta users, drop us a
note. We
also provide MyST as an Office Research Service development
system. | | |
