(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031204/FILENETLOGO http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000207/LAAIIMLOGO ) FileNet is introducing broad support for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies with three new connectors that extend Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to provide end-to-end ECM capabilities across heterogeneous enterprises. "FileNet P8 and Microsoft SharePoint Technologies are complementary solutions that, when used together, create an easy-to-use, end-to-end ECM infrastructure to actively manage content, ensure compliance and streamline process across the enterprise," said Martyn Christian, chief marketing officer for FileNet. "FileNet's integration with Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies enables organizations to take advantage of the best attributes of both solutions," said Jeff Teper, general manager of SharePoint Products and Technologies at Microsoft Corp. "With the investments we are making in enterprise content management in Microsoft Share Point Technologies, FileNet's customers will be able to realize even more value from their SharePoint-based deployments." Among the first companies to adopt the new connectors for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies is Fortune 500 Weyerhaeuser Company (http://www.weyerhaeuser.com/). "The connectors fit a critical business need for Weyerhaeuser, and we see a combined FileNet P8 and Microsoft SharePoint platform solution as providing both what our business users want and what our corporate standards require," said Ian Story, FileNet team lead, Weyerhaeuser. The FileNet connectors launched today include: FileNet Connector for Microsoft SharePoint Document Libraries This connector allows Microsoft SharePoint document libraries to be integrated with the FileNet P8 enterprise content management repository. Once federated into the FileNet P8 repository, content can be made accessible to the entire enterprise and managed to meet key enterprise business and IT requirements, including lifecycle, security, and compliance management. Enterprises can have full control when Microsoft SharePoint content is federated into FileNet managed repositories by the connector, and content transfer can even be triggered automatically, based on defined document metadata. Content can be replicated, moved or copied based on configurable properties, and behavior can be specific to an individual SharePoint site. FileNet Connector for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Search This connector extends the search capability of SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to include any content that is federated to the FileNet P8 enterprise content management services. End users can then execute a search and display a list of documents from FileNet P8, including content from any third-party vendors under FileNet Content Federation Services management. In addition, users will be enabled to access only authorized documents in compliance with FileNet P8 enterprise security rules. Following a search, the results listing is displayed and users can open and view the documents with all the functionality available to documents stored natively in Windows SharePoint Services. FileNet Connector for Microsoft SharePoint Web Parts This connector delivers document and task management capabilities that align with JSR 168 portlet capabilities. The FileNet Connector for Microsoft SharePoint Web Parts also allows FileNet managed, enterprise-wide BPM process flows to be extended to the SharePoint environment.
