Leveraging Enterprise Content Management Investments with Microsoft Sharepoint

Posted in Content Management Search Web Strategy by: Randy Woods on Saturday March 1, 2008 at 3:02 pm

My recent post on tuning the search capabilities of Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 (MOSS) sparked considerable discussion, both inside non-linear creations and with our clients. One topic cropped up repeatedly – can MOSS provide single point search for our existing document and record management repositories?

The answer is yes. Indeed, it can dramatically increase the value of existing investments in enterprise content management.

Join us March 12 at 12:00 for a webinar: Expanding your ECM Environment with Sharepoint 2007

MOSS + ECM = Broadened Adoption

Many organizations have deployed “enterprise” document and record management systems. In most cases, these are used by a small number of employees to manage the relatively small number of documents that are core to operations. MOSS has the potential to broaden participation in formalized management of document creation, approval, storage and retention to all information workers in an organization and across a much greater range of documents and decision making processes.

SeeUnity has created a suite of products that let you quickly and easily deliver on this potential. Their integration technology lets your users create content in Sharepoint and save to an existing document repository (OpenText, Documentum, etc.) Or access documents stored in these systems from the familiar MOSS interface.

Significantly, it also allows MOSS to serve as a single interface for federated search across multiple ECM repositories. NLC analysts find this particularly exciting. The ability for knowledge workers to enter a single query and find relevant knowledge no matter where it is stored in the enterprise is the holy grail of enterprise search design. SeeUnity makes this vision an accessible reality for organizations deploying Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007.
