ServiceAware Releases Term Store Sync 1.2 for Office 365 SharePoint Hybrid

SEATTLE - Oct. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- ServiceAware, provider of taxonomy management and governance solutions for Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365, announced today the latest version of its industry-recognized Term Store Sync software with full support for hybrid environments - including SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Online in Microsoft Office 365.

Until recent, ServiceAware Term Store Sync has been the preferred tool for automating SharePoint Term Store migration and synchronization between on-premises environments for development, test, and production.

With the latest release of ServiceAware Term Store Sync 1.2, it is now possible to address the trending need by organizations to maintain consistent taxonomies across hybrid environments, with both SharePoint 2013 on-premises and SharePoint Online in Office 365.

ServiceAware Term Store Sync can help organizations enforce SharePoint Managed Metadata Taxonomy governance by automating Term Store management and reducing manual workload in both on-premises environment and Office 365 SharePoint Hybrid environments.

Microsoft has made the concept of tagging content using ‘terms’ easy to do in SharePoint through its Managed Metadata feature, and the Managed Metadata Term Store - so that related documents and list items can be organized and easily found. However, if Content Types and Managed Metadata Columns are deployed or migrated between SharePoint 2013 environments - or used across hybrid environments with SharePoint Online in Office 365 - the link between the Metadata Column and its taxonomy is broken.

ServiceAware Term Store Sync 1.2 is designed to bridge that gap efficiently. Based on standard Microsoft APIs, and using a simple configuration add-in to SharePoint Central Administration, Term Store Sync handles all the complexities with retaining unique identifiers, custom properties, multiple languages, different sort orders, etc.

ServiceAware is a Microsoft Partner founded in 2010 and trusted by clients around the globe. The company provides industry-recognized governance and taxonomy management tools for mission-critical collaboration solutions based on Microsoft SharePoint, and Office 365.
