pTools
today announced that it has enhanced its CMS software for Microsoft SharePoint
by integrating it with Window's Workflow Foundation. Organisations can now
generate content within the CMS and expose this content as web-parts for SharePoint. The latest release will be launched at
Microsoft's world-wide SharePoint Conference in Seattle this March and is part of pTools
alignment to Microsoft's .net applications framework.

pTools
integration of Microsoft's Windows Workflow Foundation gives the flexibility
and rapid deployment necessary for critical web content management initiatives
within the overall SharePoint workflow and document architecture.

Microsoft
Ireland Partner Manager, Sinead Doohan says “pTools software provides powerful
and enhanced CMS functionality for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. By exhibiting at
the SharePoint Conference 2008 pTools will gain access and exposure to a vast
number of customers and partners interested in connecting, sharing and
collaborating on one of Microsoft’s fastest growing product lines.”

Commenting
on the development Tom Skinner Managing Director of pTools says: “The Microsoft
SharePoint conference in Seattle is a major event and the list of
companies exhibiting is impressive. We will use this opportunity as planned- to
build upon previous software releases to continue to grow the pTools partner
channel."

By using
Microsoft's Windows Workflow Foundation with pTools CMS for Microsoft SharePoint
organisations can extend core CMS functionality to enhance SharePoint web
content management deployment and to integrate content management tasks easily
within a single application user interface. Furthermore it allows seamless
interoperability of workflows within pTools CMS for Microsoft SharePoint and other
Microsoft applications.

pTools
multi-site architecture allows re-use of content across multiple site locations
from a single repository, while maintaining all the necessary workflow and
compliance rules demanded of enterprise level initiatives. Content compliance
within pTools uses sophisticated audit trail functionality that allows pTools
customers to validate all events in the life of the content developed.

pTools

deliver solutions for Intranets, Extranets and Internet applications. Key
