Capture and save Twitter activities in a corporate digital vault

2011-08-02T14:28:00.001+02:00

Thanks to EntropySoft, any organization can now transfer Twitter content in a corporate repository for improved information governance

EntropySoft, the Content Connection Company, made available in its Lab a new connector for Twitter. With this connector, EntropySoft is offering an easy way to archive Twitter content and is therefore improving information governance.

Thanks to this new Twitter connector, corporate tweets can be searched in a hierarchical manner, retrieved and archived. The tweets can be dynamically archived in the corporate archiving system and therefore be indexed for Search, Early Case Assessment or eDiscovery, For example, all tweets of company employees can now be saved and monitored easily, which is vital to control effectively corporate communication.

By using EntropySoft Content Hub, it only takes a matter of minutes to connect Twitter with an Enterprise repository platform and start archiving content.

“Content Hub, with its 40 pre-packaged Enterprise connectors, is the software of choice to integrate with the cloud. ECM Cloud companies like Box.Net are using this to connect their repositories to Enterprise content repositories. Other Cloud companies like social software or CRM companies are using Content Hub to provide an single entry point to company repositories, so as to include document services in their offers. Finally, Content Hub is also used to add features to corporate ECM systems by bridging Cloud services like document translation or digital signature services with corporate ECM systems.” said Nicolas Maquaire, CEO of EntropySoft. “With this new Twitter connector, we are now extending our product offering to micro-blogging and social networks. These popular new forms of online communication carry risks for companies because the content is discoverable, just like e-mail and any other electronically stored information (ESI). EntropySoft now has the technology to add Twitter to corporate retention policies.”

The Twitter connector is able to retrieve the following content and metadata:
• Tweets of a designated Twitter account
• Retweets (of tweets from the account, by the account holder or sent to the account holder)
• Followers of a specific account
• Direct tweets
• Tweets mentioning the account’s name.

Tweets can be retrieved using various search criteria: content, author, recipient, sent date etc…
Search is not limited to the account you are connecting with, but is done on all Twitter content.

Content Hub is also available as a pre-configured virtual environment where all EntropySoft products are already installed. This Virtual Machine is a turn-key solution which allows immediate deployment in a virtualized environment. Thus, any document management system or archiving platform, as well as Twitter, can be easily connected together and the document transfers managed.

Content Hub can handle simple out-of-the-box archiving processes. It can also be deployed in IBM Websphere or other large company infrastructures, so as to manage advanced document processes, Records Management for example.

Additionally, the Twitter connector is designed to be easily integrated in any third-party application and exposes the same API as the 40 other read/write EntropySoft connectors, making content management interoperability a reality.

All major Enterprise Content Management Systems are present in EntropySoft connectors’ portfolio: Microsoft SharePoint, EMC Documentum Content Server, IBM FileNET P8, Symantec Enterprise Vault, Interwoven TeamSite, Alfresco and more. All connectors have been fully tested on large implementations in critical business projects.

EntropySoft products are bridging the gap between the cloud and the enterprise.

EntropySoft partners with Iron Mountain to offer secure cloud storage and digital archiving

2010-12-16T11:39:00.000+01:00

Following the recent release of its Content Hub Appliance, EntropySoft, a specialist of content integration and connectivity, announces a partnership with information management company Iron Mountain. Electronic documents coming from as many as 35 document repositories can now be archived easily to Iron Mountain’s cloud-based storage archive, increasing EntropySoft’s ability to link the enterprise and the cloud.

Iron Mountain provides information management services for helping organizations to realize greater value from their paper and digital records. The company’s solutions for records management, data protection and secure shredding enable customers to protect and manage their information so they can optimize their business and ensure proper recovery, compliance and discovery. Through its Developer Program, Iron Mountain allows third parties and developers to integrate their solutions with its secure cloud archiving platform. This is the first instance of integration between EntropySoft and Iron Mountain.

EntropySoft’s Content Hub Appliance is a single platform that provides out-of-the-box connectivity to ECM systems. In a matter of hours, any customer can connect all its Content Management Systems to Content Hub Appliance and start moving documents to Iron Mountain’s archive. All the affiliates of a company can connect to the same platform and regroup in a single repository all critical corporate information, therefore increasing compliance with regulatory environments and facilitating eDiscovery.

“Companies are looking to leverage the cloud to reduce their information storage costs, and customers of EntropySoft can now do that securely and in a tightly integrated manner,” said Jaimin Patel, director of business development, Iron Mountain. “Iron Mountain has been offering secure cloud storage and archive solutions since 1995. More than just secure storage, though, our cloud solutions enable faster access to information and help organizations to address compliance and regulatory concerns, all while reducing the operational complexities and costs of data storage.”

The partnership between EntropySoft and Iron Mountain highlights EntropySoft’s capacity to solve the main concerns with cloud adoption: security and integration. Content Hub Appliance addresses these issues for documents, as it enables a secure link between the cloud and the enterprise.

“EntropySoft is very pleased with this partnership and integration. It takes only minutes to deploy our software appliance in a virtualized environment, therefore minimizing the efforts usually needed to connect enterprise and cloud repositories. Now companies of all sizes can archive simply all documents, reducing the costs and risks associated with storing and protecting important documents,” said Nicolas Maquaire, EntropySoft CEO.

Large organizations use EntropySoft products for managing advanced document processes. Software vendors use EntropySoft products to facilitate information access. Content Hub Appliance is the secure link between the Enterprise and the Cloud for all companies.

Content Hub Functionality
The virtual appliance can be downloaded from EntropySoft’s support site. It only takes minimal installation and configuration for the virtual machine to be ready to start operating in the customer environment. In a few minutes, the Appliance can be connected to all the company’s document repositories. A user-friendly web interface allows authorised company staff to search, browse and work with all connected repositories. Then a transfer “bridge” connects the chosen repositories to Iron Mountain’s digital archive. The bridge can also implement the customer’s specific requirements. Once the bridge is configured, the document archiving is effective.

Customers can select from different archiving options. Documents can be archived manually, on a scheduled basis or in real-time, For example, if this last option is chosen, as soon as a document is created in the document management system, it is instantaneously moved or copied to Iron Mountain’s digital archive.

The Iron Mountain cloud archive becomes a centralizing point for all the information stored in the various content silos of the company. This allows the Legal, IT and Compliance departments to cost-effectively manage in one place all relevant electronically-stored information.

Pricing and Availability
Using Content Hub Appliance is very cost-effective compared to specific developments usually associated with linking an archiving platform to content silos. The service is offered by EntropySoft on a monthly subscription basis and a pay-as-you-use model that includes content transfer and digital archiving.

About EntropySoft
EntropySoft is a specialist of content integration. EntropySoft’s mission is to connect applications to information.

EntropySoft Cited As A Strong Performer in Enterprise Content Integration report By Independent Research Firm

2010-11-23T10:15:00.000+01:00

EntropySoft was among the select companies that Forrester Research Inc. mentioned in its October 7, 2010 “Take A Process View Toward Enterprise Content Integration” report. In this evaluation, EntropySoft was mentioned as one of the “specialized ECI companies”

Forrester Research concluded that “in some cases, synchronization just saves money” and mentioned “EntropySoft’s ECI product to synchronize certain folders […] and avoid license costs”. Furthermore, Forrester Research took the example of “one large New York bank [that] used the Content ETL product from EntropySoft” and “This greatly simplified the user experience and the UI development”.

As repertory synchronization is becoming more frequent as a content integration method, Forrester Research chose EntropySoft customer to illustrate the benefits of synchronization, saying: “One large bank uses EntropySoft to synchronize in real-time the documents created in SharePoint with IBM FileNet. Users work in their preferred environment while documents are securely synchronized with the corporate repository. This synchronization approach avoids use of Web Parts and is relatively simple to deploy. »

“We are extremely pleased to be included in a report by Forrester Research,” said Nicolas Maquaire, EntropySoft CEO. “We feel this reflects our success in being at the forefront of innovation for content integration. Our new module for real-time synchronization of content repositories is a giant step forward for companies trying to solve their integration problems. Being able to move in real-time SharePoint-created content to Documentum is really helping companies with their archive, records management, or eDiscovery efforts”.

Content ETL is specifically designed to Extract, Transfer and Load documents to and from connected Enterprise repositories. It can handle the most advanced document transfers, while safekeeping all metadata. It is used for migration, archiving, records management and document distribution.

Thanks to the Track Repository Changes feature of the EntropySoft connectors, Content ETL offers a way to synchronize two repositories in real-time. The synchronization effectively removes the barriers surrounding the content repositories by synchronizing their content. Documents, metadata and permissions are automatically updated.

The synchronization process can be done across the firewall to synchronize distant heterogeneous repositories in different locations or companies. Documents can be exchanged with maximum speed, security and traceability. This process can also be applied to cloud repositories.

EntropySoft releases a SAP NetWeaver KM connector

2010-11-09T11:11:00.001+01:00

EntropySoft, a specialist of Enterprise connectivity, released today a connector for SAP NetWeaver KM. By making this connector available, EntropySoft is increasing its ability to access information wherever it is stored.

Thanks to this new connector, synchronization between SAP NetWeaver KM and other enterprise repositories is now effective. Documents from SAP can be dynamically published to SharePoint or archived instantaneously in the cloud or in the corporate archiving system. The Search indexes of EntropySoft’s OEM partners can be refreshed in real-time and BPM applications can detect the creation of a new document and launch the corresponding business process dynamically.

Real-time synchronization is enabled by EntropySoft’s “Track repository changes” feature that is included in all its major Enterprise connectors.

“Real-time synchronization is an innovation solving numerous content integration use cases. EntropySoft’s bidirectional synchronization enables immediate replication of documents in heterogeneous document management systems. Documents coming from SAP NetWeaver KM can be archived automatically to Iron Mountain Digital Archiving or published in real-time in SharePoint” said Nicolas Maquaire, CEO and co-founder of EntropySoft. “By adding another enterprise connector to our list, we are moving closer to our corporate goal: connecting applications to information.”

The SAP NetWeaver KM connector supports all item types: repository, collections, resource, links etc… Web Services are deployed in SAP Enterprise Portal so as to manage users, security and repository changes. When using the connector, any third-party product or line-of-business application can access all above items.

The SAP NetWeaver KM connector is designed to be easily integrated in third-party applications and exposes the same API as the 40 other read/write EntropySoft connectors. Connection to an existing SAP NetWeaver KM repository can be achieved in a matter of seconds. The connector can also be used in conjunction with EntropySoft’s other products, Content Hub Appliance and Content ETL.

Content Hub Appliance is a pre-configured virtual environment where all EntropySoft products are already installed. This software appliance is a turn-key solution. Thus, any document management system can be easily connected to any archiving platform, in-the-cloud or on-premises. Furthermore, document repositories can be automatically synchronized in real-time.

Content ETL is designed to Extract, Transfer and Load documents to and from connected repositories. Large organizations can design graphically their most advanced document processes. All mandatory mappings can be easily done. Permissions and metadata are safely propagated. Content ETL ensures full-traceability of all content transfers and therefore increases compliance. Thanks to the SAP NetWeaver KM connector, the SAP repository can now be included in these document processes.

EntropySoft is a highly recommended global connector supplier. Possibly the only pure player on the connectivity market, EntropySoft is the supplier of connectivity for major US software vendors. In the last 18 months, EntropySoft signed more than 20 OEM contracts with some of the largest global software companies.

EntropySoft releases a new IBM Lotus Web Content Management connector

2010-08-09T14:56:00.001+02:00

EntropySoft, the global leader for Enterprise connectivity, released today an IBM Lotus Web Content Management connector. By making this connector available, EntropySoft is increasing again its unrivalled interoperability capacities and the attractiveness of its product offer.

The Lotus Web Content Management connector is able to connect to multiple content libraries, has read/write capacities and supports all item types: sites, site areas, contents, content components, library components, taxonomies, categories, presentation templates, authoring templates and workflows.

Using the connector, any third-party product or line-of-business application can retrieve, create, delete, and update all above items, as well as create new versions, lock/unlock items and search in the repository using the EntropySoft SQL language. The retrieval of users, groups and permissions is also fully supported.

Furthermore, this connector also implements the EntropySoft “repository changes” feature that enables the connector to detect and report all additions and updates made to the Lotus Web Content Management repository.

With this new connector, EntropySoft extends its family of Web Content Management connectors which already includes the Vignette and Interwoven Teamsite connectors. This is also an addition to EntropySoft’s growing number of IBM connectors. Software vendors, IT Services companies and large organizations can use the EntropySoft IBM connector family to seamlessly integrate with a large number of IBM content repositories.

“For the past five years, we have been continuously increasing the number of connectors that we have, effectively increasing interoperability between Document repositories” said Nicolas Maquaire, CEO and co-founder of EntropySoft. “By adding yet another enterprise connector to our list, we are getting closer to our corporate mission: connecting applications to information."

The IBM Lotus Web Content Management connector is designed to be easily integrated in third-party applications and exposes the same API as the 35 other EntropySoft connectors. It can also be used in conjunction with EntropySoft’s other products, Content Hub and Content ETL. Therefore, any transfer of content to and from IBM Lotus Web Content Management has never been so easy.

EntropySoft partners also benefit from in-depth expertise on the same content-centric systems, so as to facilitate the proof-of-concepts and roll-out.

All major Enterprise Content Management Systems are present in EntropySoft’s portfolio: Microsoft SharePoint, EMC Documentum Content Server, IBM FileNet P8, Interwoven TeamSite, Alfresco and more. All connectors have been fully tested on large implementations in critical business projects.

EntropySoft supports CMIS, Kerberos and offers a new user experience

2010-04-09T15:54:00.001+02:00

EntropySoft, the global leader for Content Management Interoperability, today released a new version of its Content Hub. The Content Hub can be connected to more than 35 content repository types and offers a centralized access point to all documents, as well as cross-repositories features.

For a simpler user-experience, and for the first time in the data-integration market, content transfers can be managed in a web interface, with no technical skills required.
For better interoperability, the content hub is now CMIS-compatible and can work with the latest Web Services standards.
For tighter security management, the content hub is fully compatible with Kerberos.

A unique differentiator for EntropySoft’s Content Hub is that its web interface can be used by everyone in a company to manage complex transfers with no technical skills. This is a major improvement that fits well in today’s digital proliferation and increased content fragmentation. In a few clicks, a user can do a federated search and specify where the documents have to be transferred. There are no longer complex parameters to set and no more complicated mapping to develop. These requirements are taken into consideration beforehand, when building the content transfer bridges. A major improvement is that the content bridges linking two repositories are dynamic.

Therefore, it is now possible to have business units managing on their own the content transfers in the extended enterprise, including transfers to and from the cloud. This is also true for Records Management and archiving. Thanks to the help of content transfer bridges, permissions are replicated, metadata are automatically mapped and there is full-traceability for all transfer of documents.

Additionally, EntropySoft customers will benefit from CMIS-compliance by all EntropySoft software. CMIS is the new Content Management Interoperability Standard backed by ECM software vendors. CMIS is planned to receive its final approval in April 2010, but already EntropySoft is complying with the new market standard. The 35+ read-write connectors that are at the heart of the Content Hub are also CMIS-compatible, effectively normalizing the access to the most popular content-centric applications. The Content Hub is also implementing Web Services Security, the flexible and feature-rich extension to SOAP for applying security to Web services, as well as MTOM, a method of efficiently sending binary data to and from Web services.

Finally, all EntropySoft software now supports the Kerberos standard. Kerberos provides secure user authentication with an industry standard that permits interoperability. Kerberos is the default authentication system that is used in Windows 2000 and its newer versions. Many applications such as SharePoint, Exchange, Alfresco or FileNet also support Kerberos. Therefore, Content Hub now benefits from this true Windows-integrated Single Sign On solution.

All major Enterprise Content Management Systems are present in EntropySoft’s connectivity portfolio: Microsoft SharePoint, EMC Documentum Content Server, IBM FileNet P8, Interwoven TeamSite, Alfresco and more. All connectors have been fully tested on large implementations in critical business projects. All connectors will be CMIS compliant as soon as the standard is approved.

EntropySoft brings Content Management Intelligence to its customers.

EntropySoft, the Enterprise connectivity leader, releases a new Symantec Enterprise Vault connector

2010-02-09T09:34:00.001+01:00

EntropySoft, the global leader for Enterprise connectivity, released today a Symantec Enterprise Vault connector. By making available an Enterprise Vault connector, EntropySoft is increasing again its unrivalled interoperability capacities and the attractiveness of its product offer.

The Enterprise Vault connector has read/write capacities. Software vendors, IT Services companies or large organizations can use the new EntropySoft connector to work with the existing contents of the Enterprise Vault repository or add new content coming from other content silos using a CMIS interface.

For example, the connector facilitates the archiving of additional content coming from different sources, especially enterprise application repositories. This connector extends the reach of Symantec Enterprise Vault. Companies can archive more content in their Symantec archiving platform. The connector also makes easier the integration of applications working with Enterprise Vault content.

“For five years, we have been working continuously to make interoperability increasingly simpler” said Nicolas Maquaire, CEO and co-founder of EntropySoft. “By adding a 36th enterprise connector to our list, we are getting closer to our goal. CMIS-compatibility of all our connectors will send the right signal to large and medium-sized companies that are struggling with non-compatible content repositories. Working with unstructured content coming from various applications has never been so easy!”

The EntropySoft Enterprise Vault connector works with the Enterprise Vault API. The connector is actually an independent library. The EntropySoft Enterprise Vault connector allows the creation of archives and items, retrieval of directory, sites, vaults, archives and items and deletions of items.

Like all EntropySoft connectors, the Enterprise Vault connector will be CMIS-compliant as soon as the standard becomes available. This is especially valuable to organizations who want to comply with this emerging standard and IT Services companies answering RFPs including CMIS compliance.

The Enterprise Vault connector is designed to be easily integrated in third-party applications and is built with the same API as the 35 other EntropySoft connectors. It can also be used in conjunction with EntropySoft’s two other ground-breaking products, content hub and Content ETL.

EntropySoft’s content hub provides a single entry point to access all content-centric applications, either on-premise or in-the-cloud. The hub is CMIS-compliant, offering unique normalized connectivity to a large number (36) of content repositories. By adding an Enterprise Vault connector to its existing collection of connectors, EntropySoft increases the usefulness of the content hub by adding yet another source for all operations (search, e-discovery…).

The Enterprise Vault connector, used in conjunction with Content ETL connected to other content repositories, offers a turnkey solution to move content between any content-centric application and Enterprise Vault. Large organizations are using Content ETL to automate their records creation. Content ETL can also be used for cloud repository synchronization, transfer of content for records management, as well as day-to-day content transfers and migrations.

EntropySoft is the world’s leading connector supplier. It has more than 35 read/write enterprise connectors for unstructured data, possibly the largest connectivity offer on the market. The extensive support of features and the sheer size of the connector portfolio make EntropySoft technology perfect OEM material for many software industries.
The quality and breadth of connectivity is increasingly important for software analysts in many markets. Relying on a connector factory such as EntropySoft is synonymous with quality and expertise,

EntropySoft releases Standalone Content ETL for Cloud integration

2010-01-22T13:47:00.000+01:00

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

2010-01-21T10:46:00.001+01:00

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.
