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, Content Manager 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 Content Manager investments.
The connector makes Content Manager documents available to a large number of users while enforcing security at a granular level. Document permissions are tightly controlled using Content Manager's inbuilt security model coupled to the extensive security offered by Sitecore. Because the connector uses standard Content Manager web services the same security constraints can be imposed on web users as those in Content Manager itself.
Uploading documents to Content Manager is easy. Information, images and video files can be uploaded, using one of the included Sitecore web controls, directly to Content Manager 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 Content Manager 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 Content Manager is extensive. Why not call and let us demonstrate how these solutions can solve your challenges.
