Every day, organizations collaborate on key projects with external business partners across the Internet. These project teams regularly share important documents that might contain intellectual property or other information that should be kept secure. Unfortunately, for many organizations the only option is to collaborate using e-mail, which can be both inefficient and is often not a secure method for collaboration.

The External Collaboration Toolkit for SharePoint is intended to help address this situation. It consists of software and guidance that will help you to deploy a customizable solution built on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 that teams can use to collaborate securely with partners outside the firewall. The toolkit’s familiar SharePoint interface makes the solution easy for project team members to understand and use.
