Bridging troublesome content

Venetica announced a marketing and technology partnership with IBM that enables customers to access and work with a broad range of structured and unstructured information through a single SQL-based query. The companies report that as a result of the partnership, customers will be able to extend the reach of business applications that utilize IBM DB2 Information Integrator to leverage content from more than 20 common content repositories supported by VeniceBridge, Venetica's ECI platform.

They add that the technology combination allows customers to access and work with all enterprise information as business needs demand, including customer information, financials, transactions and other structured data typically stored in databases, as well as documents, images, reports, e-mail, rich media and other unstructured information found stored in content management systems.
