ApplicationXtender, Robust Document and Content Management

Documentum ApplicationXtender 5 allows you to quickly create an “electronic file cabinet” for information, enabling the capture, organization, and delivery of fixed content images, documents, reports, and other business-critical information. Built on a central repository, ApplicationXtender provides specific capabilities for high-speed image capture and storage and is designed for quick deployment. With ApplicationXtender, you quickly access information from a universal desktop interface, enabling greater control over business documents, enhancing the quality of decisions, increasing customer service levels, and improving employee productivity. And ApplicationXtender is easy to administer. You can quickly deploy content management without programming or extensive customization, saving a substantial amount of time and money for your organization. Using a Web-based tool, administrators can centrally configure and manage application resources such as application templates and repository parameters, storage devices, and business rules.

Image-Enable Business Applications Without Programming
.

ApplicationXtender Integration Module (AXIM) delivers an unsurpassed image enabling technology that allows virtually any business application to be easily and seamlessly integrated with the Documentum ApplicationXtender Content Management solution without programming. Workers can retrieve business documents and information from the ApplicationXtender repository without leaving their desktop business systems. Employees can access information quickly and easily, using that information to empower their decisions and customer service related activities-allowing them to deliver higher levels of quality and service than ever before. AXIM's unique approach to image enabling delivers a number of end-user access capabilities and options including:

  • Traditional "hot-key" activation of the retrieval/look-up request
  • Innovative floating icon "drop target" requests
  • Leading-edge voice activated requests

These options provide a broad set of image-enabling capabilities beyond traditional text or Windows-based screen-scrape technologies. The floating icon drop target enables a user to capture any value, even from within a Web browser page-and use that value to retrieve relevant or "linked" information from the ApplicationXtender information repository. AXIM does not require initial or on-going programming and maintenance to integrate applications to the ApplicationXtender repository. Even basic desktop users can set up AXIM to function with all of their individual business applications, including Microsoft Office products, mainframe terminal emulators, and browser-based applications

A Robust Yet Flexible Records Management Solution That Addresses All Formats
.

To assist organizations in efficiently administering their records, Documentum offers a robust yet flexible records management solution that addresses all formats including electronic, paper, and e-mail. Documentum Records Manager forms the core of the solution, allowing users to control the lifecycles of all official records and protecting record integrity, enforcing retention periods and access control, and tracking disposition requirements. Built specifically to address the retention, disposition, and authentication goals that are unique to information compliance, Records Manager is being integrated with Documentum's lifecycle and process management tools within our enterprise content management platform.

EMC Records ManagerŪ (RM) allows organizations to create, safeguard, and access records and cost-effectively archive or destroy them according to system-enforced administrative, regulatory, or legal rules.

Records Manager provides document retention management and records administration for AppXtender, enabling an organization to implement procedures for storage, retrieval, dissemination, protection, preservation, and destruction of recorded information associated with all business operations.

Records Manager supports regulatory compliance with DoD 5015.2-STD, "Design Criteria Standard for Electronic Records Management Applications." Records Manager also complies with Documentum's Encryption/Export Controls by not including any encrypted information, but rather passing credentials between AppXtender and RM, providing secure access to the applications.

Enable Workflow Between Your Business Users.
.

With ApplicationXtender 5.3, EMC Documentum has introduced a new feature - document routing - that enables users to easily route documents to other users for review and approval. This can be accomplished by end users themselves, with no need for programming, scripting or use of ApplicationXtender Process Builder.

End users can sequentially or concurrently route documents to multiple individuals, immediately enhancing operational efficiency and lowering processing costs.

ApplicationXtender's document routing feature also allows for migration to EMC Documentum ApplicationXtender Workflow as an organization's workflow needs grow over time.

The document routing business process enables a user to submit a document to one or more reviewers either sequentially (one at a time) or concurrently (all at one time) for review and/or approval. Business users are able to specify the reviewers as well as the order in which they will receive the document. Each reviewer has the option to review the document and subsequently endorse or reject it. Additionally, each reviewer has the ability to add a supporting document(s) for the remaining reviewers in the sequence. For documents submitted concurrently, each reviewer is tasked with reviewing the document by the due date set by the originating user.

Once all the reviewers have acted on the item, a notification is automatically generated for the business process initiator. This notification will indicate who approved the document, who rejected the document, and who didn't review it at all. The notification is sent to either the initiator's Workbox Inbox or through an e-mail message (if mail is configured), depending on the configuration of the business process instance.
