Extending SharePoint Content Management

Content Manager SharePoint Integration from Construction ImagingMicrosoft SharePoint has challenges when it comes to managing high volume of documents. With our SharePoint integration, Content Manager can both support and extend the functionality provided by SharePoint.

To improve storage management and performance for scanned document images, high volumes of content and other fixed document types, Content Manager SharePoint integration enables files to be automatically transferred to a Content Manager repository. Content Manager integration enables SharePoint implementations to effectively manage a SharePoint site’s requirement for storage of fixed document types.

Once transferred to a Content Manager repository, documents benefit from Content Manager’s document management services optimized for these types of documents. This includes secure storage and management, as well as application of both workflow processes and retention policies.

To effectively manager the coordination of content between SharePoint and Content Manager, the Content Manager SharePoint integration module enables administrators to schedule document archiving or manually select documents to be transferred. Integrators and administrators are able to define rules to select the documents to be moved to a purpose-built repository for long-term preservation as well as aggregate fixed content from multiple SharePoint sites. These rules can be based on document type, size, metadata, location or other values.

In addition to documents themselves, metadata associated with the original SharePoint document is also transferred to Content Manager. These metadata values may be mapped to the appropriate Content Manager content type, and SharePoint integration includes several options to manager potential data collisions, including skipping the step, creating new versions or overwriting existing values.

When used to support SharePoint-centric requirements, Content Manager SharePoint integration enables organizations to implement effective document management solutions, using the strength of Content Manager to extend SharePoint implementations past its inherent limitations.
