Document-management software maker Vizit's latest release extends search and collaboration capabilities for users of Microsoft's SharePoint. Giving more visualization to search results, the 5.0 release allows users to search for, jump to and highlight specific words or passages in documents, then share them as a link with other SharePoint users.
The software by Seattle-based Vizit displays previews of a select amount of text next to search results, then immediately generates a URL that points to the portion of text and enables it to be shared via SharePoint's news aggregator, Newsgator, and its enterprise social networking play, Yammer. The feature could help AEC teams that use SharePoint pinpoint key project management information faster.
