PremierPoint Solutions Announces Significant New Features in Extranet Collaboration
Manager for SharePoint 2013 R2
1888 Press Release PremierPoint Solutions has added new features in its Extranet Collaboration Manager for
SharePoint 2013 R2 release that make it fast and easy for companies to deploy a SharePoint extranet.
Nashville, TN PremierPoint Solutions today announced the company has added new features in its
Extranet Collaboration Manager (ExCM) for SharePoint 2013 R2 release that improve ease of deployment
and configuration; give users a selfmaintaining extranet site directory; and provide support for Trusted
Identity Providers (TIPS).
An R2 is a major new release of a software product. Current ExCM customers with support can get the R2
at no cost. New customers can download and evaluate the R2 with a 30day trial key.
ExCM 2013 R2 makes it extremely easy and fast to deploy a SharePoint extranet. It includes a new easyto
use FormsBased Authentication (FBA) setup wizard that deploys in about 10 minutes. The automatic
ASP.NET Membership Provider configuration works in single server and multiserver farms, and there is
automatic creation of the extranet directory database. There also is support for multiple extranet web
applications.
In addition, the new release makes it easy to configure several advanced features that previously required
tedious and errorprone XMLfile edits. Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs) are included for:
• Extranet Account Manager set up
• Extranet password policy
• Account expiration policy
• Password expiration policy
• Global registration settings
• Global domain policy
• People Picker restrictions
For external users needing access to multiple sites, the new release has an extranet directory web part that
ships with ExCM. It is security trimmed so that users only see what they have permission to view. The
directory is selfupdating and selfmaintained....
