The Long Tail of Enterprise Content
Getting A Handle On It

This tail is the result of a combination of factors:

1. availability of content authoring tools, especially Microsoft Office;
2. Microsoft SharePoint technology, which significantly lowered the cost of distributing the content created; and
3. Microsoft Search, which allows all content stored in SharePoint to be indexed and searched.

The challenge for the organization is therefore:

• Moving content from the tail to the head as the "value" of the content increases;
• Making content in advanced ECM repositories available to MOSS 2007 users; and
• Helping employees find content in the enterprise, regardless of the system in which it is stored from MOSS 2007 search. As vice president of product development,

Vorsite Solutions and Products
Vorsite has worked with several organizations faced with this challenge, and our solutions reflect how we have been able to add value to our customers through our offerings. The Vorsite Enterprise Productivity Suite for SharePoint enables you to search, collaborate and exchange content across document repositories by integrating SharePoint with your advanced enterprise content management systems.

Content repository agnostic.
v-Pass for Documentum and IBM FileNet, the successor to Vorsite’s Transfer Agent, provides easy and complete transfer of file contents and metadata from SharePoint to Documentum Content Server or FileNet P8 Content Engine, allowing
companies to leverage the years of investments in processes, retention policies and compliance in their back-end systems. This feature allows content authors to save significant re-entry of metadata and ensures metadata accuracy and integrity between SharePoint and Documentum systems. In addition, administrators can set criteria for content transfer, allowing content from SharePoint to participate in complex workflows in Documentum Content Server or FileNet P8 Content Engine.

Making everything available.
v-Parts for Documentum and IBM FileNet, which is the successor to Vorsite’s Web Parts solution for Documentum and IBM FileNet, provides users with easy personalized access to trusted content in these enterprise content management repositories through Microsoft SharePoint pages, empowering users to manage and leverage content assets, which increases employees’ productivity while
simplifying administration for IT managers.

The Vorsite Search Connectors make it easier for people to locate and retrieve relevant data in Documentum Content Server and FileNet P8 Content Engines. Once content in these repositories is indexed by the Vorsite Search Connector, search results displayed to users from within the familiar SharePoint interface are presented based on their relevancy, regardless of the content’s repository.

The Vorsite Federated Search Connectors provide integration points between Microsoft search platforms and enterprise content management systems such as EMC’s Documentum or IBM’s FileNet. By leveraging the indexing capabilities of the ECM platforms, Vorsite technologies allow information workers to seamlessly access relevant search results from multiple back-end systems, maximizing the value search delivers to enterprise customers.

Help employees find it.
The Vorsite search solution extends the capabilities of MOSS 2007 and Microsoft Search Server to content in advanced ECM platforms such as Documentum content servers and IBM FileNet P8 content engine. Vorsite ActiveResults search technology provides end-users with real-time access to secure content and is driving innovation in scenarios that leverage Enterprise 2.0 as a platform for delivering up-to-date and relevant information across organizations. ActiveResults enhances the search experience by providing users the ability to take action on content when they find it, such as located-related content, view-content metadata and send the document to another location (such as SharePoint records vault) or another user, thus enhancing the value search delivers.
