<p>Huddle is going after SharePoint with a new connector that lets organizations move content to the cloud without bringing in outside talent to handle the migration. The London-based collaboration provider says that unlike Microsoft's platform, its service empowers workers to share and access documents "when on the move with their enterprise ecosystem of customers, partners and contractors."</p><p>The Huddle Content Connector sports a drag and drop interface that makes it particularly easy for SharePoint users to abandon Team Sites and shared drives. Organizations that are hesitant to make a full switch can use the connector to layer Huddle over their on-premise deployments and take advantage of its social collaboration and file synchronization capabilities.</p><p>Alastair Mitchell, the chief executive officer of Huddle, says that "SharePoint is dying and soon such legacy enterprise technology will be extinct." To make it easier for customers to jump ship, the "Huddle Content Connector takes the pain out of moving to the cloud, so companies can now benefit from intuitive and flexible technology, far shorter upgrade cycles, mobile and external working."</p><p>Other new features include a thumbnail media browser, and an activity stream that displays files for approval, notifications, comments, tasks and actions. The log aims to drive team productivity by giving users a better view of what their colleagues are doing.</p><p><a href="http://siliconangle.com/blog/2013/09/26/huddle-hot-on-the-heels-of-microsoft-sharepoint-with-content-connector/">Keep reading...</a></p>
