BA Insight Awarded Most Innovative Cloud/Hybrid Solution at European SharePoint Conference
Company Recognized for Integrating over 50 systems into Office 365
Boston, MA – November 23, 2015 – BA Insight just received the European SharePoint Community Award for the best innovative cloud/hybrid solution. This out of the box software works in conjunction with Microsoft’s new Cloud Search Service Application (Cloud SSA) to bring content into a unified search index running in Office 365. For the first time, organizations can use an online search facility, run by Microsoft, to provide a unified view across all content enterprise-wide.
All of BA Insight’s connectors can now feed into Office 365, integrating over 50 systems including EMC Documentum, OpenText LiveLink, IBM FileNet, Box, Jive, Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, IBM Connections, NetDocuments, ProLaw, and more.
This content feeds several key parts of Office 365:
- Search, including search centers and all applications built on search in O365
- Office Graph, making external content visible through Office Delve experiences
- O365 Data Loss Prevention (DLP), which scans content and ties to the Compliance Center within O365
BA Insight has worked closely with Microsoft within TAP programs for the Cloud SSA, the Office Graph, and O365 APIs to ensure it is leveraging the latest Microsoft innovations and providing a robust solution early to market. The company has released it in lockstep with Microsoft’s releases so that customers can benefit as soon as possible. Bill Baer, Microsoft’s Senior Technical Product Manager for SharePoint at Microsoft has cited this as an innovative partner solution and states, “With BA Insight’s products, Office 365 customers can now take advantage of our cloud experiences for all of their content.”
“I was truly honored to have participated in the European SharePoint Conference and accept this award on behalf of the BA Insight team. Hybrid is the new reality for SharePoint, and our proven connectors give customers a way to add all their important content to Office 365,” said Jeff Fried, CTO of BA Insight. “We’re seeing a lot of interest from organizations of all types. They can use the Cloud SSA to reduce the footprint and administrative effort of search and still get to content from many different places.”
