I have simple asp.net mvc web application that communicates with the Alfresco DMS thru the CMIS api (soap). I want to be able open document in Microsoft Office (lets say version 2007 and above) directly from my web page, edit this document in Office and save the document via Save button in Office to the alfresco repository.
Is there anyway to this via WebDAV protocol?
Promoting a comment to an answer
If you want to integrate with Alfresco from within Microsoft Office, then there is a very easy way to do it, but it isn't regular WebDav. Instead, what you want is the SharePoint Protocol Integration. With this, Alfresco pretends to Office to be SharePoint. All the integration you normally get between Office and SharePoint then works between Office and Alfresco.
Once you've installed the SPP/Vti amp, and suitably configured it, then in Share you should be able to pick "Edit Online" for a document. This will fire up Office, which'll talk to Alfresco to load, save etc the document. You can then work on the document from within office, and save it back to Alfresco when you're done, just as you would do if you had SharePoint.

I've developed a VSTO add-on for Outlook that my company uses which connects to a SQL database to read/write data. I'd like to change the data source to SharePoint Online since all employees have M365 accounts. This will also allow the add-on to operate outside of the corporate network.
If I setup a SharePoint online site with a few lists, is there a way to have the Outlook VSTO Add-on read/write from the lists?
Also, since the Outlook client is already authenticated, is there a way to bypass any sort of authentication and use the already authenticated Outlook client when talking to SharePoint?
No, you need to consider your add-in as a standalone .Net based application. You can use the SharePoint client object model (CSOM) to retrieve, update, and manage data in SharePoint. Read more about that in the Complete basic operations using SharePoint client library code article.
I am new in SharePoint development. Right now I am working on a project for the Integrated Management System. We need to provide an easy navigation view for users where they can search and view the document in one place.
Is there any built-in web parts specifically for IMS available in SharePoint?
Or any web part available for document master-detail view, like a list of the document on the left side and selected document displays on the right side.
Or do I need to completely depend on the new SharePoint page development?
If you are using SharePoint 2016 on-premises and Office Online Server,
the users can find documents using SharePoint Search, and view into the documents using the hoverpanel.
Please see this blog post (the blog-post has a focus on SharePoint Online, but SharePoint 2016 and Office Online Server provide this feature on-premises as well)

As answered in other questions you can't use the free Sharepoint Foundation 2013 for document management in MS Dynamics CRM 2013.
So I ask if there is a (good *) way of using document management in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 without using Sharepoint?
(* good = easy to understand for non technical users and not too complicated to manage)
I search for a way to attach all kinds of documents to different entities like:
- pictures to accounts (not profile picure)
- PDF documents to account
- ...
I know you can use notes.
I'm a bit confused because there are attachments on entities like email.
Can I integrate these attachment-functions on other entities like accounts?

Yes, you can use Sharepoint Foundation, we make it work (SP Foundation 2010).
I can use documentmanagement with sharepoint, but not automated because the crmlistcomponent is not working.
Maybe someone from here can help me over there:
My Question on Sharepoint stackexchange site
The attachments mechanism isn't available for common customizations, sadly. Microsoft wants us to use the notes... Except maybe ("maybe" as in "I never bothered to check due to the monstrous amount of hoops to jump through while having almost no benefits") for activity entites.
That said, you can use SP 2013 Foundation for document management, if you want. Here's the step-by-step guide. We deployed a CRM 2013 + Document Management based on SP Foundation just a couple of days ago following these steps.
To Run the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service, follow the below steps.
SharePoint Central Administrator
Under>> Service Applications
Manage services on server
Look for>>Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service is running
Start the service
After completing all the 5 steps
To Install List Components in SharePoint
Go to Site Settings
Under>> Web Designer Gallery>> Click on “Solutions”
Click on Upload solution
and Click on Activate
To Set Broser File handling to Permissive
Go to SharePoint Central Administration
Application Management
On the Ribbon click onthe General Setting
Web Application Generation Setting pop-up window will appear
Scroll down to look for Browser file handling >> Select >>Permissive
Click Ok, save settings and restart the server/IIS
try to Activate the List compoent
Ensure the after successful activation will enable the Deactivate button.
Sometime it is very annoying you need to do several click to get this working.
Go to CRM and add the URL into Document management, all will work fine.
FYI the "CRM 2013" list component retains the 2011 look-and-feel.
From SharePoint experts, I would like to know if following is possible in SharePoint 2010:
Can we send an offline form (word/excel format document) to SharePoint server by email so that it goes in document management system and undergoes an approval workflow. This feature could be used by users who have only email access and can't access SharePoint portal.
Yes this is a built in feature in SharePoint 2010. You have to enable it in central administration. It is not a simple tasks however. There is a lot of configuration that needs to happen on the server. The documentation is here.
