Love MOSS and all it brings to the table with Content Types, Workflow, Office Templates, Policies and Disposition, but hate trying manage this powerful tool across multiple site collections? The real limitations with SharePoint content types and site columns in MOSS lies with the inability to easily maintain them across the farm easily. What if the choices in a column change or you want to offer a new content type to all the site collections across a web application or have a change in policy, office template or workflow associated with a content type being used across your farm? Out of the box, you’re looking at countless, painful hours changing settings manually across potentially thousands of site collections. This makes true enterprise content management just out of reach in MOSS.
The EPC Group Content Type Sync Tool is an easy to install, easy to use, Central Administration Feature that allows the syncing of Columns, Policies, Office Templates, Document Information Panel, Advanced Settings, and Workflow across many site collections simultaneously. The user interface is super simple to use and gives the added benefit of eliminating the need for those pesky Look Up columns that never work well with Third Party Tools or the Document Information Panel. With the EPC Group Content Type Sync Tool you can manage a simple choice column in one central location and push changes to the column to any and all Site Collections as needed.
