New Inmagic Presto 3.1 Compatible With SharePoint

Inmagic, Inc. (www.inmagic.com) introduced Inmagic Presto 3.1, the latest version of the company's Social Knowledge Management platform with new Microsoft SharePoint interoperability capabilities. The compatibility allows users to augment and leverage existing infrastructure and technology investments, extracting additional value from systems already in place. Other new benefits in Presto 3.1 include improved collaboration, information discovery, and content management functionalities driven by customer and market demand. Inmagic Presto 3.1 will be generally available in 3Q 2009.

Presto 3.1 uses Web Parts technology that allows the search parts on the Presto homepage to be embedded and used in a SharePoint deployment. A new Web Services API lets SharePoint communicate with Presto to create, replace, update, and delete records seamlessly. SharePoint often contributes to the creation of disconnected information silos. Now, Presto can be used to bring these silos together, in one location, with a single access portal and search. Presto also complements SharePoint's social functionality with "content centric" social capabilities that are fully searchable and indexable, with built-in controls that can both enable and disable social features for specific user groups.
