Open Text Announces Content Services

Open Text Content Services allow information workers to manage and exploit all content types in a unified way at three levels: At the desktop, facilitating access and interaction to all content through customizable business views from within desktop applications, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Explorer and Microsoft Outlook; in business processes to facilitate content flows which leads to improved productivity and process efficiency; and for archiving and records management to consistently manage retention and compliance rules across all business content, providing a single trusted repository. The new content services form the basis for Open Text's content management framework that takes a repository-agnostic approach to ECM. The new capabilities are exposed as Web Services, so that customers and partners can integrate and extend their use of the ECM technology within their organizations. The new services include: Open Text Enterprise Connect - a new user interface that serves dynamic, personalized content in context from within a user's choice of desktop application, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Explorer and Microsoft Outlook; Open Text Enterprise Process Services - provides BPM enterprise process services which allow information workers to automate and manage the flow of business content both within and across departments; and Open Text Enterprise Library Services - provide the foundation for a single, trusted repository that delivers integrated records management, metadata management, archive and search capabilities for all business content in an organization including content stored in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server sites, SAP applications, file systems, email and Open Text content repositories. With Enterprise Library Services, content can be managed, archived and stored consistently across the entire organization. http://www.opentext.com
