Sharing a document library in SP2010

Question

I have two sites.  They are not subsites hanging off a parent site, just two separate sites.  These are the intranets for two sister companies, so obviously there are similarities and some differences.  I have number of similar tabs and subsites for each, and the last tab points to the other site.  So far so good.

Now, these companies need to share some data, I assumed I could share a document library and make it common between the sites (whether or not it was actually hosted on one site or the other).  After googling around, I'm a bit concerned.  Is this even possible?  Is there any work around?

Answer 1

Possible but not OOB or you can use Page Viewer web part to use OOB.

Page Viewer web part is a web part that allows you to see a page embbed inside a page in an IFrame, this is one way.

Other is development.

Other is content deployment.

Answer 2

Thanks for your help.   Are there any 3rd party tools for Sharepoint that I could use to accomplish this?

Answer 3

So there is no way to accomplish this?  It seems a pretty straightforward requirement for a business.  Every department might have its own standards, and in a group of companies each has its own standards (to varying degrees).  But there are corporate standards that everyone refers to as well.
