LiveCycle ES Connectors for ECM

Together, Adobe LiveCycle ES software and the EMC Documentum ECM platform allow your team to automate and manage form- and document-driven business processes as well as content. LiveCycle ES enhances data capture, process management, security, collaboration, and document generation across the extended enterprise.

How it works

1. Use Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES software to create the application and processes by leveraging assets — including forms, documents, and images — that are stored in EMC Documentum Content Server. Manage those assets and save the changes back into EMC Documentum directly with LiveCycle Workbench ES.
2. Retrieve documents, images, forms, and other content with their properties from Documentum Content Server with LiveCycle ES applications and processes.
3. Process documents, forms, and other content with LiveCycle ES applications and processes.
4. Archive processed content — such as form data, converted or certified PDF content, and images — along with its properties in the Documentum Content Server.
5. Integrate these experiences into your Documentum applications and processes.

Key benefits

LiveCycle ES increases your EMC Documentum investment by allowing your organization to:

• Engage the people you serve through rich and intuitive online experiences
• Automate and manage form- and document-driven business processes
• Streamline the process of capturing data
• Improve data accuracy
• Cut costs by simplifying the design, management, and deployment of forms and documents
• Optimize productivity by providing a common working environment for forms and other types of content
• Meet strict compliance requirements
• Improve document security and digital rights management capabilities outside the Documentum ECM environment
• Orchestrate, monitor, and manage processes that extend outside the Documentum ECM environment

Features and benefits

Features	Benefits
Management of design assets in ECM system	Manage design assets for the LiveCycle ES application — including forms, fragments, images, and other content assets — in an ECM system. Developers can access those assets directly within LiveCycle Workbench ES. Enhance development collaboration Increase design and development efficiency
Form and document retrieval from ECM system with LiveCycle ES application	Enable business processes to retrieve content objects — including forms or documents, as well as their content attributes or metadata — directly from the ECM system. Allow end users to participate in business processes inside or outside the ECM system Enable applications to consume documents and data from other processes
Archival of forms, data, and documents in ECM system with LiveCycle ES application	Enable business processes to archive content such as user-submitted form data and converted PDF files directly in the ECM system, with full control of their attributes and relationships. Allow form data to flow directly into other business processes Enable full-text or index search capabilities through the ECM system Meet regulatory and compliance requirements

Working together, Adobe LiveCycle ES and the IBM FileNet P8 platform give your organization the capability to automate and manage form- and document-driven business processes and content. LiveCycle ES enhances data capture, process management, security, collaboration, and document generation across the extended enterprise.

How it works

1. Use LiveCycle Workbench ES to create the application and processes by leveraging assets — including forms, documents, and images — that are stored in the IBM FileNet P8 Content Engine. Manage those assets and save the changes back into IBM FileNet directly using LiveCycle Workbench ES.
2. Retrieve documents, images, forms, and other content with their properties from the FileNet Content Engine using LiveCycle ES applications and processes.
3. Process documents, forms, and other content with LiveCycle ES applications and processes.
4. Archive the processed content — such as form data, converted or certified PDF content, and images, along with their properties — in the FileNet Content Engine.
5. Retrieve form or process data directly from and pass them into the FileNet Process Engine, and integrate the engagement experience with your FileNet workflows and applications.
