Primary use: intranet What it does: • Seamlessly displays SharePoint lists in SIP • Adds Menu items direct from SharePoint into SIP • Display and interact with SharePoint content in real time Why?

• By surfacing live lists or menus from areas of SharePoint the SIP users have up-to-date information from SharePoint in a familiar format • Where there is no need to “synchronize” content for repurposing this integration simply provides a view into the SharePoint server Sitecore controls • Announcements, Documents, List, Search, Tasks, Web Menu Page 6 www.sitecore.net

• • • Item-level Integration

Primary use: external-facing web sites What it does • Expose SharePoint content as Sitecore items • Including Media library integration • Bi-directional – content changes from SharePoint can update the Sitecore items and vice versa (configurable) Why?

• Much of the content stored in SharePoint may prove useful for the website e.g. job listings created by HR, by bringing the content in as Sitecore items they can be used in the website and presented according to the look and feel of the site.

• No more silos of content in the organization – SharePoint content can now be used on websites without incurring the licensing costs from Microsoft.
