One of the most posed questions lately seems to be how do we integrate SharePoint and Content Management Server. People often start working together on documents in SharePoint and later want to publish this document in an easy way to CMS (That authors can't work together on a CMS posting - because of the locking principle - is definitely a missing feature in CMS). With the release of SharePoint Connector for Content Management Server (Previously codenamed Spark) in february 2004- some things were solved.
In short the connector enables the following :
- Content from CMS can be displayed in SharePoint webparts
- Documents in SPS can be exposed to MCMS managed sites
- Integrating SPS search with the content in CMS
