Sitecore to Content Manager Integration
Extend Sitecore with the powerful document management features of Micro Focus Content Manager (aka HPE CM, RM, HP TRIM). Using FuseIT’s secure SooT integration, CM administrators can extend their document review, manipulation, and processing functionality to web users. SooT greatly increases the business efficiency and the value of existing Sitecore and CM investments.
The connector makes CM documents available to a large number of users while enforcing security at a granular level. Document permissions are tightly controlled using CM's inbuilt security model coupled to the extensive security offered by Sitecore. Because the connector uses standard CM web services the same security constraints can be imposed on web users as those in CM itself.
Uploading documents to CM is easy. Information, images and video files can be uploaded, using one of the included Sitecore web controls, directly to CM using a browser or mobile device. If your needs are complex, the connector’s open architecture makes it easy to extend the functionality provided. For instance, SooT could be used to expose selected CM files to external file handling systems.
FuseIT’s complimentary deployment assistance, from experts in both technologies, ensures a fast and smooth implementation. Upgrades and enhancements to the connector are available with FuseIT’s standard maintenance and support plan.
FuseIT's experience with Sitecore and CM is extensive. Why not call and let us demonstrate how these solutions can solve your challenges.
What is SooT?
Customers and businesses expect immediate access to a range of information via a channel of their choice. If the information they need is contained in CM then access and distribution becomes a challenge.
SooT expands the availability of information by integrating Sitecore with CM to create a digital asset management system (DAM) solution for static and rich media resources while offering the essential functions like metadata search.
The SooT digital asset management solution makes it possible to easily move documents between the two systems without compromising the security models of either.
SooT helps organizations improve their document governance processes with the following features:
- CM document searches and view via Sitecore web controls.
- Upload documents to CM with a Sitecore upload control.
- Update or delete CM documents from Sitecore.
- Save completed Sitecore WFFM forms to CM as PDFs.
- Save web pages or web forms to CM as PDFs.
- Add links to CM documents in Sitecore’s WYSIWYG page editor.
- Save files added to the Media Library into CM.
- Synchronize CM documents into Sitecore Media Library.
- Control access with Sitecore roles or CM permissions.
- Show documents in selected CM containers in Sitecore.
- Manual or automated synchronization options.
- Easily extend existing functionality if required.
Soot is installed as a Sitecore package. For more information please download the SooT brochure.
