Kelly Miller, Mindjet “Mindjet Connect SP’s visual discovery and intuitive team collaboration capabilities make SharePoint both easier to navigate and more powerful to use – a big plus for our customers,” said Richard Harbridge, senior SharePoint consultant at Allin Consulting.

Mindjet’s visual framework allows users to collaborate directly inside the SharePoint environment and, according to the company, will help users find information within the software much faster.

In a blog post, Kelly Miller, senior product marketing manager at Mindjet, said: “With Mindjet Connect SP you get the combined power and administrative controls of SharePoint and the great visual navigation and collaboration capabilities of Mindjet Connect. Your can leverage our collaborative work management capabilities behind the firewall in the popular SharePoint environment. It provides a simpler way navigate SharePoint and a visual way to collaborate within SharePoint”

“Connect SP displays information in a visual manner so team members can better understand and align on critical issues and plans,” said Blaine Mathieu, chief product officer at Mindjet.

Mindjet also expects the software to increase SharePoint adoption and usage rates, helping IT departments avoid rip and replace strategies.

“SharePoint adoption continues to be strong among many types of organisations. However, end-user comfort with SharePoint and day-to-day usage depend a great deal on how easy it is to find information and collaborate with others. Tools, like Mindjet Connect SP, that augment SharePoint in these areas can help business and IT meet their goals," said Kathleen Reidy, senior analyst at The 451 Group.

“With often large investments in enterprise SharePoint installations, CIOs are tasked with getting the greatest adoption and return on this technology,” said Mathieu. “Satisfying that need is our business opportunity.”

“Businesses across the world use Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 to facilitate information sharing within organisations and deliver better business insight," said Mark Green, EMEA e-commerce director at Insight UK. "It has become the leading business collaboration platform and our partners, like Mindjet, complement SharePoint’s capabilities to help our customers save time, drive business initiatives forward and solve real business problems.”
