EntropySoft has announced a new Web Services connector for Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 that is able to connect to mailboxes and public folders, has read/write capacity and supports all item types exposed by web services: Calendar, Contact, Distribution List, Message, Post, Task etc.

Using the connector, any third-party product or line-of-business application can retrieve, create, delete, and update all above items. The retrieval of users, groups and permissions is fully supported.

All authentication modes are also supported: basic, NTLM, Kerberos. Permissions can be modified at folder level.

The new Microsoft Exchange connector also implements the EntropySoft "track repository changes" feature that enables the connector to detect and report all additions, updates and deletions made to Exchange mailboxes and public folders.

Finally, the "repository discovery" feature does dynamic mailbox discovery, allowing a single connector configuration for all mailboxes.

With this new connector, EntropySoft extends its family of Web Services connectors which already includes connectors for Documentum Content Server, FileNet P8, SharePoint and many other.

"Thanks to the 40+ connectors that we now have, we are effectively increasing interoperability between Document repositories" said Nicolas Maquaire, CEO and co-founder of EntropySoft.

"By adding yet another enterprise connector to our list, we are moving closer to our corporate goal: connecting applications and people to all information."

The Microsoft Exchange Web Services connector is designed to be easily integrated in third-party applications and exposes the same API as the 35 other EntropySoft connectors. It can also be used in conjunction with EntropySoft's other products, Content Hub and Content ETL. Therefore, any transfer of content to and from Exchange is possible.
