ShareVault claims to have come up with a solution to providing  SharePoint access by outside parties, a task that can be technically challenging due to firewalls or complexities of VPN and FTP.

ShareVault for SharePoint boosts the SharePoint-based, internal, collaborative environment to enhance sharing with the outside world. 

“ShareVault for SharePoint includes a powerful sync engine that requires no software to be installed on SharePoint servers.” said ShareVault Vice President of Product Management John Badger.

The US developer says a traditional solution includes hiring a team of consultants to develop or integrate a costly extranet. 

ShareVault tracks detailed document use and activity, can aggregate documents from multiple SharePoint sites and undertake automated conversion to secure PDF.
