OpenText is aiming to unify access to multiple sources of disparate information from its ECM Suite with the latest version of the OpenText Integration Center.

A new enhanced, native connector to OpenText ECM Suite 2010 is designed for applications such as business systems integration, legacy decommissioning, in-place content management and content migration.

OpenText says most integration technologies focus on either structured data in databases or content in document repositories, but not both.

"The current economic conditions are forcing organisations to reduce the number of information sources by bringing structured and unstructured content together under the roof of a single business process and repository," said Eugene Cherny, General Manager for OpenText's Connectivity Solutions.

"By combining these worlds in the OpenText ECM Suite, we give customers a powerful solution that helps them reduce costs during a tough economy, while enabling them to do more with their information."

OpenText Integration Center offers complete migration features to move content from one or many repositories to any new destination with all its metadata and context. It helps to automate the movement of content while delivering content integrity and operational efficiency.

When decommissioning legacy systems, data can be archived from any application and lifecycle management rules automatically applied through ECM Suite 2010, i.e. records management classifications, retention rules, and schedules.
