Can I still continue to manage my SharePoint sites directly while the content is also federated onto WebSphere Portal?
Yes. In fact, preserving your ability to maintain full, direct control over your SharePoint site is one of the main differences between Mainsoft’s federation solution and a migration solution. While corporate portal users gain role-based, secure access to the SharePoint contents through the Mainsoft SharePoint Integrator portlets, content owners continue to manage the SharePoint site using the SharePoint interfaces. Likewise, team members can continue to collaborate on a project using the SharePoint Web interface to the SharePoint site.
