Early this year, you may have read how to share, save, or edit the latest OneDrive and SharePoint Online files from Webex Teams. With this, there is no more versioning trouble and no need to leave your favorite app for a meeting, messaging, or whiteboarding. And now, with Office 365, Webex Teams evolve s your collaborative experience in another. Users of Cisco Webex Teams can now edit files stored in Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft SharePoint Online from within the Cisco client. The integrations headlined a series of updates to the collaboration app unveiled this month.
DataParser roadmap has been updated with new interfaces. SharePoint Online support will be followed by WebEx Teams and OneDrive releases.
Millbrook, NY – 17a-4 has added new sources to the DataParser roadmap for 2020 Beta and GA releases.

“We are continuing to add new interfaces to DataParser at the request of our clients. With each new data source development, we work with our clients’ Compliance and Legal teams through beta testing to ensure the interface is developed as requested.” said Charles Weeden, Managing Partner of 17a-4.
The SharePoint Online module is going through Beta testing now and WebEx Teams and OneDrive are next in the Beta release queue. These new modules will be added to the already robust supported interface list for DataParser. Clients can bring SharePoint Online, WebEx Teams and OneDrive data into any compliance archive just as with SharePoint Server, Microsoft Teams, Yammer, Slack, Cisco Jabber, Symphony, Thomson Reuters Eikon Messenger, Bloomberg and other supported data sources.

DataParser has no impact on the collected data source networks or destination archives. Users’ chat and collaboration activities are not disrupted by the DataParser’s processes and Compliance officers do not have to make changes to eDiscovery procedures. All ingested data sources are fully indexed and searchable via typical eDiscovery queries.
All major archiving technologies are supported by DataParser allowing clients to leverage in house resources and keep compliance costs to a minimum. VMs are supported, including AWS and Azure. Message delivery options include the ability to send via SMTP into an archive, to a file location or a mailbox. The third-party data endpoint for clients using Office 365 for archiving is also supported.

The Webex integration with Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint Online gives users the ability to share and access content stored in Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint Online directly from within the Webex app.
An administrator can choose to provision (configure, enable and authorize) the integration for their organization. Additionally, the user must independently authorize Webex to access OneDrive and/or SharePoint Online on their behalf. This enables a user to share a document, view a document thumbnail, or view a document from within Webex. For more details, see Connect to Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint Online
Authentication and Authorization
The integration between Webex and Microsoft Azure or Office 365 is entirely app centric. All the Microsoft Cloud APIs (OneDrive or SharePoint Online) are called directly from Webex. Those API’s are OAuth2 protected resources and require an access token to securely access them.
To get an access token, users must first authenticate and then authorize Webex. The issued access token is then sent in the Authorization header for each API call to Microsoft OneDrive or SharePoint Online. All API calls are made using HTTPS. For more information, see the Use Cases section in this article.

Session cookies and refresh tokens that are issued as part of authentication and authorization are encrypted and securely stored on the user’s Webex device. No authentication or authorization information related to the user for OneDrive or SharePoint Online is ever exposed to the Webex Cloud services.
