Encourage Livelink^® Usage With Microsoft Integration

Making Livelink work as seamlessly as possible with existing Microsoft applications can make it more approachable and encourage the deployment of Livelink to more users.

Formark has created several applications that provided a more natural interface between Microsoft applications and Livelink.

Benefits of Microsoft Integration

1. Encourage Livelink deployment. People resist change, so making Livelink operate more seamlessly with existing environments removes a barrier to using Livelink.
2. Best of breed tools. Livelink excels at managing content and collaboration, but needs to work well with other applications that excel at what they do.
3. Lower user support costs. Natural interfaces that work the way users expect them to mean fewer calls to the support desk.

Microsoft Integration Applications

• Encouraging Livelink Use: AuthorLink Explorer is an alternate Livelink interface that provides familiar Windows capabilities when working with Livelink, but still exposes users to all of its advanced capabilities.
• Making it Easy for Office Users: AuthorLink Lite makes it easier for users to store and retrieve Microsoft Office documents within Livelink.
• Plan in MS Project, Collaborate in Livelink: Formark Project allows teams to do project planning in Microsoft Project but distribute the project tasks and collaborate using Livelink.
