Provides a single repository of enterprise content
- Content federation services centralize access to content from multiple IBM and third-party repositories - such as EMC Documentum and OpenText ECM suite- so you can track and control all your content in one place.
- Centralized access can be achieved through (1) federation of metadata from host repositories into FileNet Content Manager or by (2) migrating content entirely into FileNet Content Manager if and when content migration off a legacy repository is preferred.
- The unified repository and metadata model provides a comprehensive and streamlined search, repurposing, and application development environment.
Streamlines content management with document management
- Core document management capabilities include document versioning, content security and lifecycle management.
- A wide range of content types is supported including XML documents, Office documents, web pages, photos, voice, images, and process definitions and templates.
- Advanced document management includes support of Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA)-based XML. DITA allows hundreds or more subject matter experts to collaborate on content creation; final outputs can be rendered in various hard copy and web formats.
- The extensible object model allows complex taxonomy management using extensive metadata and folder organization.
Delivers active content in motion
- Automated workflows help ensure task completeness and timeliness
- Event and subscription capabilities provide active content. Business rules drive automated actions triggered by active content changes.
- Processing work faster improves productivity and reduces processing and research costs
- Enables immediate reaction to customer demands by automating processes triggered by customer events
Integrates with Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Office
- Integration with Microsoft SharePoint allows users to author, browse and manage their FileNet content, access their personal and public inboxes for task and workflow management, and initiate FileNet workflows from within SharePoint.
- Integration with Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010 provides quicker access to folders, stored searches or favorites from within Microsoft Office applications
- Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) support makes it easier to integrate FileNet Content Manager into existing installations of Microsoft SharePoint, SAP, and other participating vendors.
Includes valuable tools and non-chargeable components
- The “Composite Platform Installation Tool” tool makes it possible to install and configure FileNet CM and restricted use versions of DB2, WebSphere Application Server and Tivoli Directory Server in just a few hours.
- Tremendous value is added by including non-chargeable, bundled components (some license restrictions apply) including Content Federation Services, DB2, FileNet Integration for Microsoft Office (FIMO), FileNet Services for Lotus Quickr, SharePoint Web Parts, Tivoli Directory Server, WebSphere Application Server and WorkPlace XT.
