EntropySoft Content Hub Appliance packages a single point of access to information and document transfer features

Following the release of new CMS connectors, EntropySoft, a specialist of content integration, released its Content Hub Appliance. Content Hub Appliance is a single platform that provides out-of-the-box connectivity for over 30 applications and comes with the ability to easily transfer documents.

In only a few clicks, an administrator can connect the organization’s document repositories to Content Hub Appliance. The repositories become available to all applications consuming or producing information in the company. This is done in a matter of hours. Content Hub Appliance provides a single point of access to all the connected repositories through the EntropySoft Web Services, CMIS (Web Services and REST implementations), Java, java remote and .Net.

Besides this single point of access, all companies using Content Hub Appliance are saving money thanks to the fact that all connectivity is now shared between applications.

Furthermore, for the past five years, by working with large corporate clients, EntropySoft has developed two domains of expertise that it is ready to share. The first expertise domain is to connect any document management system to any archiving platform; the second one is to synchronize two document repositories. Thanks to content transfer bridge templates that can be provided by EntropySoft, it is now a question of hours to be ready to synchronize two silos or connect applications to an archiving platform.

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 matter of hours, the single point of access is deployed and made-to-measure content transfer bridges can be uploaded to enable document transfers and repository synchronization..

“Large organizations use EntropySoft Content ETL in their environments to manage advanced document transfers. Software vendors use EntropySoft connectors to simplify information access. With Content Hub Appliance, EntropySoft is bringing content integration to a large audience” said Nicolas Maquaire, EntropySoft CEO. “Companies of all sizes will now be able to synchronize silos easily and also archive all documents coming from over 30 different content repositories in a matter of hours.”

The single access point and ability to easily transfer documents are offered by EntropySoft on a monthly subscription basis and a pay-as-you-use model that includes content transfer, archive to and synchronization.

EntropySoft Content Hub Appliance offers a global access to information to your line-of-business applications and shares all your connectivity in one spot. Content Hub Appliance comes with 40 connectors under the hood.

EntropySoft releases a new IBM Lotus Web Content Management connector

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 supports CMIS, Kerberos and offers a new user experience

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.
