CorasWorks Extends MOSS 2007 into the Enterprise 2.0 Arena

CorasWorks Debuts New Product at DevConnections
Las Vegas, NV – November 7, 2007 – CorasWorks Corporation, the leading provider of software for developing collaborative solutions on Microsoft® SharePoint®, announced the release of the CorasWorks Data Integration Toolset for SharePoint 2007 (“Toolset”) at the DevConnections Conference in Las Vegas today. With the Toolset, users can connect to and integrate data from SharePoint 2007 and 2003 as well as from external data sources to build custom displays, composite applications, and enterprise mashups.

The Toolset offers the opportunity and ability to leverage SharePoint as the front–end for business data and business processes within an organization, no matter where the data resides. The Toolset is the first product to provide an efficient way for organizations to integrate data from various external sources into SharePoint. The Toolset creates a dynamic connection that “provides” the data in an XML stream, creating dynamic connections that continuously feed information from the source(s). The sources could include SQL databases, remote SharePoint 2007 servers, SharePoint 2003 servers, or any web service-enabled application.

The Toolset–enabled connections are flexible, allowing you to combine (or mashup) data from multiple SharePoint lists – whether on local or remote SharePoint servers – as well as data from multiple external data sources.

Once the data has been provided in XML, there are several options regarding “consuming” or using that data. Organizations can:
  • Write their own custom displays against the XML using XSLT or Java Script
  • Use one of the Toolset’s pre–configured displays, which accept the XML feed. The Toolset currently includes two standard configurable displays–a grid display and a calendar display.
  • Use third-party charting or display tools
  • Provide SharePoint data into other applications that support integration and display of XML data.

“CorasWorks has always enabled organizations to design, build and manage an integrated workplace on the SharePoint platform without custom programming,” said William Rogers, CEO of CorasWorks. “With the Data Integration Toolset, we are extending our modular approach, enabling organizations to transform SharePoint into a comprehensive front–end environment that leverages their enterprise data both inside and outside SharePoint. Organizations can now have a single, front–end place to work with information throughout their enterprise and beyond. The vision of Enterprise 2.0 is now practical for all SharePoint users.”
