Unified ECM

Open Text has introduced the Livelink ECM Platform, which it calls a secure, integrated framework that combines a shared content repository with user, content and process services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

The Livelink ECM Platform marks the completion of Open Text's integration of Livelink with the content archive from IXOS Software, which Open Text acquired last year. This integration allows Open Text to offer a shared platform for multiple solutions, universal access to enterprise content, a common user experience and simplified maintenance and administration. With the platform as a foundation, the company says, customers can more quickly and easily deploy a comprehensive range of Open Text ECM solutions as their needs evolve. These offerings include collaboration, document and content management, compliance, e-mail and records management, ERP integration and archiving and storage management. This also applies to solutions Open Text offers to meet the specific needs of industries such as government, pharmaceuticals, financial services, energy and more.
