SharePoint hooks into SAP
A new connector released by EntropySoft allows documents from SAP to be dynamically published to SharePoint or archived instantaneously in the cloud or in the corporate archiving system.
The Search indexes of EntropySoft’s OEM partners can be refreshed in real-time and BPM applications can detect the creation of a new document and launch the corresponding business process dynamically.
Real-time synchronisation is enabled by EntropySoft’s “Track repository changes” feature that is included in all its major Enterprise connectors.
“Real-time synchronisation is an innovation solving numerous content integration use cases. EntropySoft’s bidirectional synchronisation enables immediate replication of documents in heterogeneous document management systems. Documents coming from SAP NetWeaver KM can be archived automatically to Iron Mountain Digital Archiving or published in real-time in SharePoint” said Nicolas Maquaire, CEO and co-founder of EntropySoft. “By adding another enterprise connector to our list, we are moving closer to our corporate goal: connecting applications to information.”
The SAP NetWeaver KM connector supports all item types: repository, collections, resource, links etc… Web Services are deployed in SAP Enterprise Portal so as to manage users, security and repository changes. When using the connector, any third-party product or line-of-business application can access all above items.
The SAP NetWeaver KM connector is designed to be easily integrated in third-party applications and exposes the same API as the 40 other read/write EntropySoft connectors. Connection to an existing SAP NetWeaver KM repository can be achieved in a matter of seconds. The connector can also be used in conjunction with EntropySoft’s other products, Content Hub Appliance and Content ETL.
Content Hub Appliance is a pre-configured virtual environment where all EntropySoft products are already installed. This software appliance is a turn-key solution. Thus, any document management system can be easily connected to any archiving platform, in-the-cloud or on-premises. Furthermore, document repositories can be automatically synchronized in real-time.
Content ETL is designed to Extract, Transfer and Load documents to and from connected repositories. Large organizations can design graphically their most advanced document processes. All mandatory mappings can be easily done. Permissions and metadata are safely propagated. Content ETL ensures full-traceability of all content transfers and therefore increases compliance. Thanks to the SAP NetWeaver KM connector, the SAP repository can now be included in these document processes.
