Repstor affinity 3.0 – the Content Management tool for Microsoft 365 introduces Windows Explorer integration with Repstor drive

Repstor is pleased to announce the launch of the latest version of its Outlook content management tool Repstor affinity 3.0.

London, 4 August 2015

Repstor, the leading ECM adoption specialist, is pleased to announce the launch of the latest version of its Outlook content management tool Repstor affinityTM 3.0.

Microsoft® Outlook® is familiar to most as their email client. It is simple and easy to use. For many people it’s the first thing they open when they arrive in work, and the last thing closed before home time. They use it to collaborate with colleagues and customers.  Since we spend so much time in Outlook, wouldn’t it be ideal if all of the things we need for day-to-day work were accessible there?

Using Repstor affinity 3.0 makes this possible. Users get seamless access to their content repositories both on and offline without leaving the Outlook interface, regardless of what document repository it is saved in, meaning they can collaborate easily with colleagues. With this release there is enhanced Microsoft Word®, Excel® and PowerPoint® integration. You can compare documents and convert documents to Adobe® PDF directly from affinity. Property support has also been improved. Repstor affinity 3.0 adds new repository support for HighQ Collaborate and Meridio®, ECM repositories along with the existing SharePoint®, OneDrive® and HP Records Manager/TRIM® support. Access to Repstor affinity folders and content is now also possible using the file system through the Repstor driveTM product. This enables users to save from any Windows Application directly into Repstor affinity.

CTO, Repstor“With 3.0, the affinity product further extends its deep integration with Microsoft 365 and other ECM repositories – providing access through the familiar interface of Microsoft Outlook without impacting Outlook’s stability or performance. We continue to deliver enterprise ECM user adoption by providing users with access to tools from where they prefer to do their work,” said Fergus Wilson, Repstor’s CTO.

Extending Repstor and Microsoft 365 Integration

The affinity 3.0 release delivers enhanced email and content management by providing deeper integration with Microsoft 365 and the Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint products. In affinity 3.0 Repstor has provided a new Compare Word Documents content menu which compares the contents of two affinity documents in Word. Users can also convert documents accessed from affinity to Adobe PDF directly from the Microsoft Word application. 3.0 also improves property support for managed metadata and user and group properties (allowing auto-complete for these property types both on and offline).

New Repstor Drive Module

Repstor focuses on giving users the choice to manage their content and access their documents via the application of their choice. With affinity 3.0 Repstor delivers a new Repstor driveTM module which enables users to access and save content via Windows® Explorer®. Users are able to save to Repstor affinity in the File->Save dialog, removing the need to move away from the source application in order to add a document to the organizations repository.

Improved Repository Support

Today Repstor affinity leads the ECM market with its extensive integration to multiple repositories. At every release of the affinity product Repstor aims to extend this support. Affinity 3.0 provides Outlook integration and support for the HighQ Collaborate product which is largely used as a collaboration tool for legal companies and also the Meridio ECM repository, providing users with the ability to store and access content in multiple repositories. Existing repository support has also been improved by providing property synchronization for HP TRIM® repositories.

Repstor Announces CRM Link – the Dynamics CRM and ECM connector for Office 365®

Repstor announces the launch of its newest addition to the Repstor suite of products, Repstor CRM Link, at AIIM Forum UK.

AIIM Forum UK, London, 24 June 2015

At AIIM Forum UK, Repstor today announced the launch of its newest addition to the Repstor suite of products, Repstor CRM Link, the Dynamics CRM and ECM connector for Microsoft Office 365®.

Repstor CRM Link* provides users with a secure and fast link to Dynamics CRM and SharePoint (or other ECM Systems) from within Microsoft Outlook.

CRM Link enables users to associate emails quickly and easily with Dynamics CRM records or entities from Microsoft Outlook without ever leaving the Outlook interface. Repstor CRM Link helps users manage customer information and correspondence using Dynamics CRM from Microsoft Outlook without affecting the performance of Outlook.

Keeping track of client or customer related tasks and content such as emails, documents, marketing or sales activities and external correspondence can be time consuming and something that is often left until a later date, or indeed overlooked. This affects the ability of the organization and team members to access an accurate and up to date client profile at any time and can result in users missing critical details related to a client. Repstor CRM Link helps address these issues by providing a client management tool that is integrated into Outlook and accessible from the Outlook interface, the place users prefer to work.

By using Repstor affinity and custodian with CRM Link users are able to associate CRM records or entities with SharePoint Sites and Libraries (and other ECM information). SharePoint Sites and Libraries can be automatically provisioned based on the creation of CRM Records. Organizational information is shared between the user’s Outlook, Dynamics CRM and ECM systems cutting down on the need for users to manually update each system individually.

CTO, Repstor“CRM Link provides users with an easy-to-use client management tool that they can access directly from Microsoft Outlook. Users can update information on clients in Dynamics CRM and SharePoint or other ECM repositories easily without ever leaving the familiar Microsoft Outlook interface. This saves time for the user and avoids the need to update separate systems manually. Users are encouraged to keep all client information up to date. With accurate information available easily, the productivity of all team members increases,” said Fergus Wilson, CTO, Repstor.

Repstor CRM Link provides the following benefits:

  • Outlook integrated Client exploiting Repstor affinity
  • Surface CRM related documents in Outlook
  • Efficient Outlook integration – no slowdown to Outlook
  • Utilises Repstor Provisioning for Flexible Provisioning of SharePoint to support CRM Objects
  • CRM on-line or on-premise

Your organization can now leverage your CRM and ECM system to easily and accurately manage client information and other key content while enabling users to increase their productivity by working within the familiar Microsoft Outlook Client.
