FileNet Updates ECM Package

February 14th, 2007: IBM’s FileNet has just released version 4.0 of its Content Manger software, offering enhanced functionality and platform support, improved scalability and more flexibility than ever before.

The company’s Enterprise Content Management offering is a centralised solution for managing digital content. FileNet says it uniquely combines document management with out-of-the-box workflow and process capabilities to enable content delivery at the right time and place.

Content Manager 4.0 includes a host of new features, such as a new, re-architected J2EE Content Engine that runs on operating systems as diverse as Windows, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and Linux. It also offers continued support for DB2, SQL Server and Oracle.

FileNet claims that because of J3EE, Content Manager 4.0 seamlessly integrates into existing IT infrastructure and provides lower total cost of ownership. “Content Manager 4.0 accelerates the deployment of all types of business content, enhancing the collaborative contributions from individuals and departments with specialised expertise,” says Lee Roberts, general manager, Content Management, for IBM. “Armed with the latest and most relevant information and a richer business context, workers at all levels of the organisation can make better faster decisions that are in the best interest of the business and its customers.”

The company claims that version 4.0 can produce top-end retrieval rates exceeding 6 million documents per hour, and top-end ingestion rates of more than 4 million documents per hour. It also says that Content Manager is optimised for performance in widely distributed environments and provides flexible, distributed content caching for improved performance across remote sites.
