Building Ibm Enterprise Content Management Solutions From End To End

IBM® Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions provide efficient and effective ways to capture content, manage the content and business processes, discover insights from the content, and derive actions to improve business processes, products, and services. This IBM Redbooks® publication introduces and highlights some of the IBM ECM products that can be implemented and integrated together to create end-to-end ECM solutions: IBM Case Manager IBM Datacap IBM Content Manager OnDemand IBM Enterprise Records IBM WatsonTM Content Analytics IBM Content Classification For each product involved in the ECM solution, this IBM Redbooks publication briefly describes what it is, its functions and capabilities, and provides step-by-step procedures for installing, configuring, and implementing it. In addition, we provide procedures for integrating these products together to create an end-to-end ECM solution to achieve the overall solution objectives. Not all of the products are required to be integrated into an ECM solution. Depending on your business requirements, you can choose a subset of these products to be built into your ECM solutions. This book serves as a hands-on learning guide for information technology (IT) specialists who plan to build ECM solutions from end-to-end, for a proof of concept (PoC) environment, or for a proof of technology environment. For implementing a production-strength ECM solution, also refer to IBM Knowledge Center, IBM Redbooks publications, and IBM Software Services.

The integration of IBM® Enterprise Content Management (ECM) products with the Box for secure file sharing and collaboration opens new possibilities for achieving higher levels of capability within ECM. This IBM RedpaperTM publication describes how the integration of Box, IBM Content Navigator, IBM Case Manager, IBM Datacap, and IBM StoredIQ® products enables higher maturity in ECM, and distills the capabilities provided by each integration and the combination as a whole. By leveraging these IBM ECM technologies with Box, clients can realize the power of hybrid capabilities between on-premises and cloud systems. This paper shows you how to create an integrated, end-to-end solution that uses the capabilities of those IBM ECM products in conjunction with Box.

IBM® Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software enables the world's top companies to make better decisions, faster. By controlling content, companies can use industry-specific solutions to capture, manage, and share information. Successful organizations understand that business content matters more than ever as mobile, social, and cloud technologies transform their business models. This IBM RedpaperTM publication introduces the mobile functionality offered in IBM Enterprise Content Management products: IBM Content Navigator, IBM Case manager, and IBM Datacap Mobile. This paper covers key security considerations for mobile application deployments. Many organizations are concerned about the usage of mobile devices for business use and the risk to enterprise data leakage. Mobile technology and mobile security practices have evolved to provide enterprises with all the tools they need to properly secure and manage mobile deployments. As with any best practices or tools, organizations must adopt and implement them for mobile solutions and mobile security to be effective. This paper provides the reader with a deeper look into each one of the IBM ECM mobile offerings and a full description of their current capabilities; using an end-to-end sample scenario covers a commercial real estate loan process. This paper is intended for both executives and technical staffs who are interested in obtaining a quick understanding of the mobile capabilities offered in the IBM Content Management portfolio and the application development functionality.

Organizations face many challenges in managing ever-increasing documents that they need to conduct their businesses. IBM® content management and imaging solutions can capture, store, manage, integrate, and deliver various forms of content throughout an enterprise. These tools can help reduce costs associated with content management and help organizations deliver improved customer service. The advanced document capture capabilities are provided through IBM Datacap software. This IBM Redbooks® publication focuses on Datacap components, system architecture, functions, and capabilities. It explains how Datacap works, how to design a document image capture solution, and how to implement the solution using Datacap Developer Tools, such as Datacap FastDoc (Admin). FastDoc is the development tool that designers use to create rules and rule sets, configure a document hierarchy and task profiles, and set up a verification panel for image verification. A loan application example explains the advanced technologies of IBM Datacap Version 9. This scenario shows how to develop a versatile capture solution that is able to handle both structured and unstructured documents. Information about high availability, scalability, performance, backup and recovery options, preferable practices, and suggestions for designing and implementing an imaging solution is also included. This book is intended for IT architects and professionals who are responsible for creating, improving, designing, and implementing document imaging solutions for their organizations.

IBM® FileNet® Content Manager Version 5.2 provides full content lifecycle and extensive document management capabilities for digital content. IBM FileNet Content Manager is tightly integrated with the family of IBM FileNet products based on the IBM FileNet P8 technical platform. IBM FileNet Content Manager serves as the core content management, security management, and storage management engine for the products. This IBM Redbooks® publication covers the implementation best practices and recommendations for solutions that use IBM FileNet Content Manager. It introduces the functions and features of IBM FileNet Content Manager, common use cases of the product, and a design methodology that provides implementation guidance from requirements analysis through production use of the solution. We address administrative topics of an IBM FileNet Content Manager solution, including deployment, system administration and maintenance, and troubleshooting. Implementation topics include system architecture design with various options for scaling an IBM FileNet Content Manager system, capacity planning, and design of repository design logical structure, security practices, and application design. An important implementation topic is business continuity. We define business continuity, high availability, and disaster recovery concepts and describe options for those when implementing IBM FileNet Content Manager solutions. Many solutions are essentially a combination of information input (ingestion), storage, information processing, and presentation and delivery. We discuss some solution building blocks that designers can combine to build an IBM FileNet Content Manager solution. This book is intended to be used in conjunction with product manuals and online help to provide guidance to architects and designers about implementing IBM FileNet Content Manager solutions. Many of the features and practices described in the book also apply to previous versions of IBM FileNet Content Manager.

The need to archive information is on the rise, driven by content and data growth, regulatory compliance, legal discovery, and data protection requirements. The IBM® Smart Archive strategy is a comprehensive, unified, and integrated archive strategy that combines IBM software, systems, and service capabilities that are designed to help organizations extract value and to gain new intelligence from information by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and using that information. IBM Enterprise Content Management (ECM) products and offerings combined with the IBM Information Archive device provides the type of end-to-end Smart Archive solution that is a critical component of the IBM Smart Archive strategy. This IBM RedpaperTM publication focuses on the benefit and technical details of the integration of ECM products and offering with the Information Archive device.
