OpenText has launched a new platform to enable the integration of content stored on SharePoint with content managed by OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions.

OpenText Microsoft SharePoint Services (SPS) allows SharePoint users to work with content managed by OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions, as well as adding native SharePoint content to OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions. 

The solution combines secure, automated capture, storage and organisation of documents with archiving, records management and imaging functionality.

 OpenText says because the solution provides a full view into systems, companies can eliminate the need for separate solutions for compliance reporting, archiving or records management. 

"With this announcement, customers will have tools they need to link critical SharePoint documents with their company's underlying SAP processes," said Jeff Teper, corporate vice president at Microsoft. 

"Connecting SharePoint content and an SAP business workspace together will help people seamlessly get more done."
