KnowledgeLake Connect 4.6 and Office 365

Posted by Jeff Borghoff

I’ve been ramping up on my Office 365 skills and enjoying the new support in KnowledgeLake Connect 4.6 for Office 365 (aka SharePoint Online).    This post assumes you have Connect and have used it with SharePoint On-premise and are familiar with adding Sites to Connect.

The first thing you’ll need to do is decipher your Office 365 login.   SharePoint Online, in my case and mostly likely in yours, uses Claims as the Credential Type.  The SharePoint URL is your target site (aka sub web) that contains your Document Libraries.  You’ll need to use your username as it appears in the User Management console of the Admin site.   There will be no Domain  required nor a ADFS URL.

KnowledgeLake 2012 Summit & Employee Awards

Posted by Kacie Wilbanks

KnowledgeLake kicked off our 11th year in business with our January company summit.  All of our remote employees flew in to the St. Louis headquarters to enjoy some time together, as well as, collaborate on upcoming projects.  KnowledgeLake employees gather twice a year for summit.  This year, KnowledgeLake filled the two and half days with fun and learning.  The first day, we spent some time going over business, and then we were able to enjoy meeting new employees and catching up with old friends at the Pink Galleon over a game of pool or darts.  Summits are generally a time for team building and collaboration among departments.  Having some fun time together really boosts team morale.

Measuring the ROI for a SharePoint Document Imaging Solution

Posted by Kim Grego

We previously discussed the benefits of using SharePoint as a single platform solution for managing enterprise-wide content, including ROI.  On-ramping paper documents into SharePoint will undoubtedly extend your ECM investment past simple collaboration and intranet portals.  This will provide a remarkably quick Return on Investment (ROI.) Although there are various reasons for considering a document imaging and capture strategy, four drivers are observed in the majority of situations: Read more: Measuring the ROI for a SharePoint Document Imaging Solution

Extend your ECM Investment through Paper Reduction

Posted by Kim Grego

SharePoint is probably already implemented, to some extent, in your organization with people using it for collaboration of electronic content.  Let’s take a different approach and look exclusively at paper documents.  Most organizations still struggle with the storage of paper documents and are spending a surprising amount of money to file, locate, copy, mail and reproduce them.  Handling paper is time consuming and expensive.  Part of the challenge is that SharePoint does not provide an out-of-the-box mechanism to get paper documents into SharePoint.

SharePoint Conference 2011 Recap

Posted by Todd Kitta

Hi, my name is Todd Kitta, an Engineer here at KnowledgeLake (I work on Connect, our brand-spanking new License Server, and Capture Online [more on that one in a minute]). I just wanted to take a few minutes and recap the SharePoint Conference from my perspective. First and foremost, I have to say it was awesome to be there and see the company I work for have such an insanely large presense. I mean, you come into the Expo Hall and there are literally 100+ organizations there trying to make an impact on all the attendees and you see the KnowledgeLake booth there front and center right at the front; it was awesome. It was also cool meeting folks and having everyone know who your company is. Read more: SharePoint Conference 2011 Recap
