Barb Mosher, writer for CMSWire, blogs about the integration of Community Server 2008 with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007:

"The integration is a smart move by Telligent. SharePoint is the dominant collaboration and document management platform inside many organizations — particularly those orgs with a Microsoft predisposition."

Our June announcement about integrating our proven social computing platform with MOSS has generated tons of support.

According to Lawrence Liu, Senior Technical Product Manager for Community and Social Computing at Microsoft,

“Community Server is used by many organizations (including Microsoft) as a online community solution with blogs and forums as the primary features. More and more of these organizations are using SharePoint for a variety of information management and collaboration scenarios. While SharePoint’s blogs and forums features are sufficient for some of these organizations, others would like to leverage their investments in Community Server but provide a seamlessly integrated user experience on SharePoint.”

So with a number of vendors announcing integration solutions for the MOSS 2007 platform, what makes Community Server stand out as "Microsoft's belle of the ball"?  

CEO Rob Howard answers,

"We instead want to enable our customers to use their existing Office SharePoint Server 2007 investment and intend to deliver deeply integrated value through our Community Server Evolution platform. It’s a win-win situation, as Evolution is based on Microsoft technology and is something with which IT departments are already experienced.”
