The challenge
FileNet P8 provides an advanced solution for storing
all your documents and files in a safe and secure
place. However, while you are still using older,
less advanced applications, you face an integration
hurdle. These older applications access network
drives to create and retrieve documents, yet they are
unable to access the P8 library.
The architectural context of OFS
|
The solution
OIS FileSystem (OFS) removes the integration hurdle.
This innovative solution opens a direct path from your
older applications to your P8 system.
As a regular Windows file server on your network,
OFS appears as a familiar network drive to your
applications. However, OFS translates all low-level
file-commands, in real-time, into the necessary
requests to your P8 library:
• to create documents;
• to retrieve documents;
• to edit documents.
Within any Windows application, store your
documents by selecting the OFS drive in the
Save As dialog and browsing to the right folder
in P8. Likewise, use the Open File dialog in your
application to retrieve a document from your
P8 library. Safe and simple; OFS uses Windows
authentication and takes care of all the checkout
and checkin actions when necessary.
Easy implementation
OFS is available on all operating systems
supported by FileNet P8. A one-day configuration
on your network is all it takes to get you up and
running. No client installation needed.
Take control of your integration
OFS offers a proven, fully transparent
integration with all of your important business
applications, without redundant storage and
without any client installation. Besides ensuring
better compliance, OFS can likely double
the value you get from your FileNet P8
investment. Why discuss or worry any
longer about your integration? Choose OFS
to ‘drive’ the contents of your P8 library.
