Adobe promises smoother integration with SharePoint and IBM FileNet Systems with the latest release of LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 3 (ES3).

New capabilities in LiveCycle ES3 include enhanced data services for building enterprise and mobile applications and improved correspondence management capabilities.

“LiveCycle ES3 is an integral part of the digital enterprise workflow that helps businesses and agencies harmonise backend processes and services to deliver compelling applications for customer engagement, service and communication,” said Arun Anantharaman, vice president and general manager, Adobe.

LiveCycle ES3 correspondence management services streamlines customer and constituent correspondence from creation to archiving by enabling organisations to assemble individualised customer correspondence using templates, pre-approved content blocks, interactive documents, and custom-authored personalisation without the help of IT.

The new release provides enhanced capabilities for securing documents on mobile devices. Adobe Reader 10.1 for iOS and Android now incorporates support for accessing files secured by Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES3.

LiveCycle Rights Management protects sensitive documents by encrypting them with industry standard AES encryption and enabling central management of their access permissions. These protections persist even when sensitive documents are accidentally distributed via email, the cloud or a lost mobile device.

Updates to LiveCycle connectors include support for FileNet 5 and easier SharePoint server farm deployment.

LiveCycle ES3 builds on the existing components of LiveCycle ES, including process and rights management modules, PDF generation, forms and output modules, digital signatures, and Workbench and Designer tools.
