Enhanced Delivery of Information Access, Governance and Compliance Capabilities for Oracle E-Business Suite Customers using Microsoft SharePoint
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM) and a Platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced the launch of OpenText Microsoft SharePoint Services (SPS) for Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite. OpenText SPS for Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite provides comprehensive ERP-associated content management, governance and compliance management capabilities to customers worldwide.
The OpenText SPS solution allows Microsoft SharePoint users to work with, and add to, content managed by OpenText without leaving their native application. As with Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite itself, users can participate directly in the content-enriched Oracle E-Business Suite business process to facilitate an integrated approach to enterprise content management.
"OpenText's new SharePoint Services for Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite leverages the existing investments customers have made in Microsoft SharePoint and Oracle to help them fully utilize enterprise information in the way they work today," said Patricia Nagle, vice president, Global Strategic Alliances at OpenText. "Integrating our Oracle ERP-embedded ECM product with SharePoint Services enables organizations to further unite the worlds of ERP and ECM. With the reduced risk and costs of unintended, application-prohibited information access, customers will be able to increase information worker productivity as well as the value derived from critical and collaborative content - and have the means to govern that content."
Combined with the announcement of OpenText SharePoint Services for Extended ECM for SAP Solutions, which is based on the same product architecture, the new 3-way integration offering for Oracle E-Business Suite further advances OpenText's mission to bring enterprise information to more non-ECM users - in sync with related enterprise transaction data, and available in the user's familiar application and process context.
OpenText SPS for Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite supports multiple cloud (Office 365) environments, and on-premises or hybrid SharePoint environments with the same Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite backend, including OpenText's full Content Suite. The user-intuitive Extended ECM integration via OpenText SharePoint Services offers wide-ranging functionality that supports an efficient, cost-effective and broadly inclusive approach to an organization's ECM strategy, helping to mitigate risks while improving productivity and information accessibility.
A unique and deeply integrated offering embedding direct access to current transaction-relevant documents and unstructured content of all types right from Oracle E-Business Suite screens in both the Oracle E-Business Suite Application Framework and Professional (or Forms) UIs, OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite manages content throughout its lifecycle by combining secure, automated capture; low-cost direct-to-ECM document archiving with both Oracle E-Business Suite and ECM-based retrieval, easy-to-apply information hold and simple to advanced content search capabilities together with comprehensive records management. By providing a full view into transaction-relevant content and extensive information management tools now encompassing Microsoft SharePoint, OpenText Extended ECM for Oracle E-Business Suite provides Oracle ERP users with another way to span the ERP-ECM divide.
