New Report & Output Management offerings provide Content Server, eDOCS
and SharePoint® users with secure access to mainframe content
WATERLOO, ON, Jan. 15, 2013 /CNW/ - OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTC),
a leading provider of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) software, today announced the availability of OpenText Report & Output
Management solutions for mainframes. The new Report & Output Management
interfaces extend the EIM value proposition to mainframe-generated
content by making it available to users of OpenText Content Server,
OpenText eDOCS, and Microsoft SharePoint.
The new interfaces allow customers to capture and store information in
mainframe formats and present it to users within their ECM environment
in a logical, personalized, and secure manner. The solution extends the
content sources and data types available to Content Server, eDOCS and
SharePoint and gives users a single user experience when searching or
viewing mixed content.
"Mainframe systems continue to generate a significant amount of
semi-structured output such as reports, and the volumes and formats
that are involved can make using that content difficult," said Jason
Likins, Vice President of Report & Output at OpenText. "Our solution
enables companies to leverage their existing mainframe content for
business applications outside the mainframe system."
Mainframe-enabled repositories provide consolidated access to all
enterprise content and help reduce IT backlog associated with custom
report generation. In addition, users can now leverage legacy content
for business applications such as electronic statements, bill
presentment, and customer service. The ability to manage
mainframe-originated content in a content repository also extends
enterprise-wide information governance strategies to mainframe
applications. With safe and secure information transmission that
adheres to best practices and strict governance policies, users can
control the retention, accessibility and auditability of mainframe
content managed in a compliant repository.
These new software products are components of the OpenText Report &
Output Management suite, which captures and stores critical information
from packaged ERP applications such as SAP®, Oracle® E-Business Suite,
and PeopleSoft® - as well as from custom, mainframe and legacy
applications. By exposing mainframe reports within the Content Server,
eDOCS and SharePoint environments, report content can now be shared
across the entire organization in a secure manner, without the need to
provide a mainframe terminal access to all users. As a result,
OpenText's mainframe-enabled solutions allow customers to manage their
report information throughout its lifecycle, improving business
productivity while controlling costs and mitigating risks.
Availability
OpenText Report & Output Management is now available world-wide through
all OpenText direct and partner channels.
