ADAM brings powerful DAM functionality to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server

DEINZE, October 30 , 2008 – ADAM Software ( www.adamsoftware.net ) launches the ADAM SharePoint connector which extends your familiar Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) environment with ADAM functionality. Users experience ADAM’s powerful digital asset management capabilities, together with the workflow and collaboration support provided by SharePoint, through the familiar user interface of the Microsoft Office System.

The ADAM SharePoint connector (www.adamsoftware.net/sharepoint ) exposes the ADAM retrieval functionality through SharePoint Web parts (SharePoint user interface elements), enabling users to retrieve assets from within ADAM through a guided search using the ADAM classification tree. This includes free text search on all the metadata available including IPTC, XMP, etc. The search works on ALL files, including audio, video, office documents. SharePoint provides the user interface through which this functionality is accessed, and complements ADAM’s powerful digital asset management capabilities with comprehensive workflow and collaboration support. The extended security from ADAM manages access control to assets, records & metadata.

With ADAM SharePoint connector you can

work from within the familiar SharePoint environment and seamlessly access the ADAM central engine
use the ADAM classification tree to search and find assets through SharePoint in ADAM;
keep control of the versioning of the file in SharePoint.
use the ADAM “rules engine” to kick off workflows, including SharePoint workflows.

"We understand publishers and marketing departments require both powerful digital asset management (DAM) capabilities and collaboration support. ADAM demonstrates how these can be brought together by making DAM capabilities accessible through the familiar SharePoint user interface, so users can benefit from SharePoint's tight integration with the Microsoft Office environment", says Rainer Kellerhals, global media & entertainment solutions lead, Microsoft Communications Sector.

“With ADAM being a GOLD CERTIFIED partner of Microsoft, it is obvious for us to constantly keep up to date with the latest Microsoft technologies”, says Pieter Casneuf, executive partner, ADAM Software.

“The first .NET DAM engine, the first Windows Server 2008 compatible DAM platform, the first DAM system to run SQL 2008 and a seamless integration into Microsoft Office Suite 2007. This portfolio of ADAM - Microsoft compliant technologies is yet enhanced with the merge of ADAM into SharePoint. The strength of the 'share & collaborate' philosophy with the enterprise character of ADAM offers our customers the best of both worlds.", Pieter Casneuf concludes.
