The SharePoint Connector is said to “maximise productivity”.
The software integrates Kyocera’s MFPs with Microsoft’s SharePoint programme, which is a “web application framework and platform” that Kyocera says is used by “78 percent of Fortune 500 companies”, and the Connector “acts as a bridge between” the MFP and SharePoint server. Documents are scanned and sent to the Connector, which sends on the scans to the online library.
In turn, the Connector can access the scanned documents from the server and send them back to the MFP to print, and supports a range of versions of the SharePoint programme, including: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0; Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007; Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010; SharePoint Server 2010 Standard Edition; SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition; and SharePoint Online (Microsoft Office 365). The Connector will cost users around £200 ($336/€251) per licence per device.
Sarah White, Product Manager at Kyocera Document Solutions UK, stated: “Our SharePoint Connector supports the capture and routing of documents into Microsoft SharePoint as well as printing from Microsoft SharePoint. It saves time, cuts down on unnecessary workflow and makes Microsoft SharePoint easier to use.
“We believe that the ability to scan and print directly from the Kyocera MFP control panel will be immensely beneficial to Microsoft SharePoint users. Our SharePoint Connector is secure, easy to deploy and implement and supports multiple Microsoft SharePoint servers, so users can access documents within their organisation quickly and efficiently.”
