does this work with Office 365 subscriptions?
Hey, Cliff,
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to hook up your on-premises web client with an Office 365 subscription. Our Office Online integration will only work with an on-premises hosted Office Online Server.
We are exploring the possibility of how your on-premises web client could use 365, but there are a couple challenges. Your web client machine would have to get whitelisted by Microsoft in order to communicate with their 365 servers. And going the other way, you would also have to allow the 365 servers to push data directly to your Laserfiche server. Both scenarios have a lot of security implications.
In related news, we are working towards getting Office 365 hooked up with Laserfiche Cloud.
Any update on O365 integration with on-premise?
Alex's post wasn't very clear. Using Office Online Server is the way Microsoft supports using editing with Office Online for self-hosted systems.
The functionality is available in Laserfiche 10.4 and higher. See documentation for more information.
Hey Cliff,
The co-authoring piece isn't stricly a Laserfiche function, but more a new microsoft office thing. Bear in mind that Office 365 is just a licensing model, the actual software is the same underneath (so MS Office 2013 & 2016 etc.).
There is a MS article which explains how the co-authoring thing works in a little more detail - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Document-collaboration-and-co-authoring-ee1509b4-1f6e-401e-b04a-782d26f564a4
Hope this helps!
