integrate Employee Knowledge Networks with their
existing corporate infrastructure."

AskMe Enterprise is built on native Microsoft
technologies, including Microsoft .NET and Microsoft SQL
Server. In addition, AskMe Enterprise provides a
number of out-of-box integration points for customers
running in a Microsoft environment.
 |
Integrates with
Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange e-mail system to enable users to submit questions or receive
system notifications via e-mail. Integrates with Active
Directory and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol). This integration ensures seamless
authentication for your users, and it serves as the
basis for building expertise profiles.
|
|
Integrates
with MSN or Windows Messenger and Microsoft Exchange
2000 Instant Messaging Service to provide presence information
for profiled experts and capture transcripts of instant
messaging sessions.
|
|
Combines search results from
AskMe Enterprise knowledgebase with those from Microsoft
SharePoint Portal Server. This integration helps knowledge seekers
find documents related to their queries.
|
|
Provides
one-click access to AskMe Enterprise search and question
forms from Microsoft Office applications.
|
|
Analyzes
and mines
Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint Portal
Server to profile users and their expertise. System
managers can perform one-time or periodic imports, or
they can configure AskMe Enterprise to perform auto-profiling
of their employees. AskMe Enterprise uses these
profiles to help knowledge seekers find relevant experts
who can provide assistance.
|
In addition to the out-of-box
integration, enterprises can leverage the AskMe
Professional Services team to provide integration with
other Microsoft products. For example, enterprises using
Microsoft Content Management Server (CMS) can integrate AskMe
Enterprise to profile expertise based on affiliations to
content and include content in search results.
