Open Text Enterprise Connect is a revolutionary user interface paradigm designed to empower information workers to access and interact with all their business content, applications, and processes directly from familiar desktop environments, including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Windows Explorer, Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and browser-based interfaces.
With Open Text Enterprise Connect, information workers can easily interact with content from multiple repositories and business applications, drag and drop objects between repositories, initiate workflows, and apply metadata and records classifications to objects.
Open Text Enterprise Connect features a powerful plug-in architecture to facilitate rapid deployment of content-enabled applications through an enhanced universal interface that leverages single-sign-on technology. Training is minimized because the application appears as a natural extension of the user’s preferred interface. Enterprise Connect features ready-to-deploy plug-ins available to access and interact with content stored in the Document Management component of the Open Text ECM Suite (Open Text Document Management or Open Text Content Lifecycle Management), Open Text eDOCS, SAP applications, and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server repositories.
Open Text Enterprise Connect also features an innovative wizard-driven, browser-based interface that enables information workers to create business views of enterprise content. Users require absolutely no programming skills as Open Text Enterprise Connect walks them through the process of defining and producing tailored business-centric views of enterprise content. Custom views are centrally stored and cached so that they can easily be assigned to users in specific roles across the enterprise, thereby ensuring that information workers have personalized, current, and accurate views of the content they need.
Open Text Enterprise Connect represents the future of how information workers will find, access, and work with enterprise content.
