Paris, France – September 21, 2009 - EntropySoft, specialist in the Enterprise Content Integration (ECI) market, today announced the addition of new ground-breaking features to its portfolio of 30 read/write enterprise connectors.

EntropySoft is one of the world leaders for connectivity. It has more than 30 read/write enterprise connectors for unstructured data, possibly the biggest portfolio in the market. This portfolio enables our customers to deliver easy integration with 30 content-centric applications. The extensive support of features and the size of the connector portfolio make this technology perfect OEM material for many software industries. The state-of-the-art connectors help customers focus on their differentiators, allowing them to concentrate on their core business while EntropySoft takes care of the connectivity.

All major Enterprise Content Management Systems are present in EntropySoft’s portfolio, and all connectors have been fully tested on large implementations in critical business projects.

“Our product marketing is continuously listening to our customers. Based on our partner’s requests for enhancements and our strategy, we improve constantly our connectors so as to give our customers the features that are requested by their respective markets” said Raphael Jean, CTO and co-founder of EntropySoft. “Our connectors are used everyday in critical operations and we therefore must provide reliable and robust software as well as the best technological options. Each new release takes our connectors to a higher quality level. We are moving closer to our objective of being the technological reference for universal access to all content silos."

The most-awaited feature is the repository changes tracking.

EntropySoft releases Standalone Content ETL for Cloud integration

Paris, October 30, 2009 - EntropySoft, specialist of the ECI market (Enterprise Content Integration), is releasing a standalone version of its Content ETL product for unstructured data. Standalone Content ETL is specifically designed for SaaS companies that want to simplify cloud integration. By releasing this version of Content ETL, EntropySoft is reinforcing its position as one of the main suppliers of cloud integration products for unstructured data.

The development of Software as a Service (SaaS) means that more and more companies work with document repositories that are no longer managed “in-house”. Using external document repositories is the fastest way to deliver document-based solutions without the pain of deploying and maintaining internally complex architectures. Additionally, a cloud strategy is very common when mergers and acquisitions happen: organizations with different IT architectures need to put their resources in common as fast as possible.

External document repositories increase content fragmentation and the need to exchange securely and easily documents over the firewall. The use of cloud repositories must be initiated in conjunction with a strategy to have easy transfers between cloud and corporate repositories.

EntropySoft's Standalone Content ETL is specifically designed to be an ideal product for such transfers.

In all companies, most common practice is sending an e-mail with an attachment when sharing information inside or outside of the company. It is common to first download a document from a content-centric application and mail it. The receiving party uploads and saves in its own repository of choice.
This common practice highlights the dangers of not managing company-wide content transfers. Taking the document out of its initial repository comes with major risks regarding permissions, lifecycle management and mail server overload. A protected document extracted from its initial repository becomes a non-protected document. The complete history of the document is left behind or lost. Knowledge Management becomes impossible.

Content ETL is the best product in its category to manage cross-repository document lifecycle. It can manage real time, on-demand or on-schedule transfers between more than 30 applications, without losing permissions and history.

Applications can be fundamentally different, especially with regards to permissions, metadata models or users and groups directories. Content ETL is deploying “bridges” between repositories. The role of the bridges is first to map the different models (permissions, metadata, users and groups…) and then manage the actual transfer.

Thanks to EntropySoft’s state-of-the-art connectors the bridges can be deployed between more than 30 enterprise content repositories including Microsoft SharePoint, Documentum, Google DOCS, IBM FileNet, Opentext Livelink, Alfresco and many other.

If requirements include data cleansing, de-duplication or rendering, Content ETL includes a large selection of pre-programmed actions that can easily be added in the content bridge. Adding the required features is very easy, since it is done by dragging and dropping a new stage in the graphical representation of the bridge.

Standalone Content ETL also has the ability to dynamically track changes in a repository and deliver a list of added, updated and deleted documents. Changes to content, permissions and metadata are taken into account on an immediate basis. This is a vital feature for all companies who want to have an accurate view of their content and take real-time actions such as immediate Records Management to minimize critical data loss risk.

Standalone Content ETL comes with two scheduling options for transferring documents: pre-programmed transfers on a regular basis or real-time immediate transfers.

Standalone Content ETL is an all-in-one version of Content ETL. It combines an embedded Content Federation server with content ETL so as to simplify product download and deployment.

Customers deploying Standalone Content ETL can, at any time, upgrade their deployment by adding a separate EntropySoft Content Federation Server. The full architecture gives customers a third scheduling option: the ability to manage on-demand transfers with Content ETL web.

By using a pre-defined content transfer bridge, SaaS companies can now offer their customers a downloadable package that can be easily deployed, so as to seamlessly integrate any corporate content repository with their online service, while preserving permissions and delivering full traceability.


Standalone Content ETL’s immediate benefits are easier content transfers between repositories, better information life-cycle control and stronger compliance with rules and regulations.

EntropySoft releases a new Documentum DFS connector

Paris, November 18, 2009 - EntropySoft, a specialist in the Enterprise Content Integration (ECI) market, today announced the release of a new Documentum DFS connector. By making available a new version of the Documentum connector, EntropySoft is increasing again its unrivalled interoperability capacities and the attractiveness of its product offer.

EntropySoft already had a Documentum DFC connector in its product offer. Connecting to the Documentum repository implied calling on the document broker, then accessing the document in the content server. This makes it difficult to use in a firewall-protected network environment Also, DFC are supported on a limited set of operating systems.

EntropySoft’s Documentum DFS connector is a simpler way to access Documentum content via web-services. This actually simplifies the network architecture and facilitates content accessibility for all platforms and appliances.

EntropySoft’s overall connectivity strategy is to make available several connectors for the same enterprise applications, so as to offer different architectural options to its customers. This is for example the case for SharePoint, Exchange and FileNet, for which different connectivity architectures are available.

“This new connector is part of the latest release of our connectors’ portfolio which includes significant improvements across all our connector line of product.” said Raphael Jean, CTO and co-founder of EntropySoft. ”For some applications, we have multiple connectors, so as to offer our customers the architectural options best-suited to their market. This Documentum DFS connector was also the first step towards building our new Documentum CenterStage connector."

EntropySoft’s Documentum DFS connector enables read and write access to content stored in the Documentum repository. It supports searching for documents and covers most of the underlying features of the software. It also includes EntropySoft’s latest content management intelligence feature: the track repository changes feature.

The connector can track changes in a repository and deliver a list of added, updated and deleted documents. Changes to content, permissions and metadata are taken into account on an immediate basis. This is a vital feature for all companies who want to have an accurate view of their content and take real-time actions such as immediate Records Management to minimize critical data loss risk and optimize compliance with regulatory environments.

The Documentum DFS connector is specifically built for the Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) / web-services pairing. The network architecture is therefore simplified. On the client-side, only a few jar files have to be put in the class path, making the deployments extremely easy. There are no more possible complications involving going across firewalls.

EntropySoft is one of the world leaders for connectivity. It has more than 30 read/write enterprise connectors for unstructured data, possibly the biggest portfolio in the market. The extensive support of features and the size of the connector portfolio make this technology perfect OEM material for many software industries. The state-of-the-art connectors help customers focus on their differentiators, allowing them to concentrate on their core business while EntropySoft takes care of the connectivity.

All major Enterprise Content Management Systems are present in EntropySoft’s portfolio: Alfresco, EMC Documentum eRoom, IBM FileNet P8, OpenText LiveLink and eDOCS, Interwoven TeamSite, IBM Lotus Quickplace, Microsoft SharePoint etc… All connectors have been fully tested on large implementations in critical business projects.
