The majority of processes that take place inside SAP rely on content to some extent. With OpenText™ Extended ECM Documentum for SAP® Solutions, we make it easier to work with that content by allowing customers to view content stored in OpenText™ Documentum™ inside the SAP user interface. And vice versa, customers can also view SAP data within Documentum.
Announced at Enterprise World 2018, and now launched as promised, Extended ECM Documentum for SAP Solutions is our new solution that brings together the structured, data-driven processes of SAP with the unstructured content stored in OpenText Documentum. Here are some of the key capabilities.
Connected Workspaces
Leveraging the concept of the connected workspace that was defined in the Extended ECM for SAP solutions product, a connected workspace is a virtual model of a real-world object – such as a supplier, customer, asset, product and many others. A Connected Workspace is more than just enabling files to be viewed in SAP, it includes unstructured content and structured data, security and roles, collaboration and tasks.
Seamless Integration
Extended ECM Documentum for SAP Solutions is seamlessly integrated to SAP via Fiori UI’s legacy NetWeaver. Using the same technologies as the Extended ECM For SAP Solutions application to ensure users can continue to work in their native interface.
Bi-Directional Integration
The integration is not one-way, it is bi-directional meaning that SAP Users can retrieve, edit and manage content stored in Documentum from the SAP User Interface. Content updates from SAP are stored in Documentum.
The integration does not involve the migration of content between 2 applications – all content always resides in Documentum, and is exposed directory into SAP via smart views. The same is true of SAP data – it never leaves SAP. Security is implemented on each workspace object to ensure that users can only see the content they have access to -regardless of accessing via SAP or Documentum.
Data stored and managed in SAP can also be exposed inside the Documentum Smart Views, allowing document-centric workers to benefit from seeing associated data from SAP (for example supplier information).
