Newsletters are a typical requirement for web portals. Complete solutions that are directly integrated into the portal and represent the typical workflow over subscription, validation and dispatch and do not need any further tools or gateways are especially efficient. With the SharePartXXL Newsletter Web Part for Microsoft SharePoint, a solution like this is available as WebPart for WSS (free of charge Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0) and MOSS / MOSSFIS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Internet Sites).
Complete all-in-one newsletter management solution 100% based on Microsoft SharePoint technology:
- External tools for dispatch with export and import gateways are not necessary. This avoids double data management with additional manual effort for export/import and error sources.
- Web Part works with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and the free-of-charge Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, so installation as SharePoint feature is very simple and cost effective.
- Several newsletter templates, for example different subject topics, target groups or multiple language variations can be managed simultaneously.
- Personalization of the newsletter is very easy, expandable placeholders and templates are possible.
- Subscription workflow is executed by double-opt-in procedures.
- Administration of newsletters and subscribers is carried out using the normal list / view functions directly in SharePoint.
- The solution is easily adaptable and expandable, for example by using additional list or view fields.
- The solution integrates itself into the Microsoft SharePoint security concepts, Web Parts for administration and subscription can be placed into different areas with different rights.
