I am currently working on looking at integrate Microsoft Content
Management Server 2002 and Sharepoint 2003 to deliver a Corporate
Intranet. The aim is to run a demonstration Pilot that incorporates
access to Doc Management and Search (and a Departmental workspace) from
Sharepoint, but either embed that functionality into or link through to
a CMS front-end.
The environment is Windows 2003 (with AD), Exchange 2003.
From looking around there seem to be various integration options
available, such as the following:
o Using Sharepoint portal search with CMS sites.
o Publishing SPS document libraries to CMS sites (i.e. the
connector).
o Publishing CMS content within SPS sites.
My questions are:
1. Do people have any direct real-life experience that they could
share with me on a similar type project? From this, could they say which
integration option is the best, and why?
2. What, if any, are the integration pitfalls between these two
products?
3. Do people have any relevant documentation or sites that might be
useful/relevant to this project?
