Extend your Adobe LiveCycle applications to connect with industry‐leading ECM systems
Why LiveCycle ES Connectors for ECM
- Enjoy seamless integration between Adobe® LiveCycle® ES solution components and your enterprise content management (ECM) system.
- Combine LiveCycle ES technologies with your ECM solutions to transform document-intensive business processes into dynamic interactions.
- Create solutions to enhance customer service, accelerate transaction cycles, reduce document management costs, maximize the value of your investment in your ECM system, and improve productivity throughout the enterprise.
- Improve applications such as new account opening, invoice processing, and litigation support or industry-specific processes such as medical records, mortgage origination, claims processing, or loan approval.
- Allow developers to manage LiveCycle ES design assets — including forms, fragments, images, and other content assets — that are stored in ECM systems.
- Gain service operations to enable LiveCycle ES applications and processes to interact with content in your ECM system.
- Enable full-text or index search capabilities on all content generated or consumed by your business processes through the ECM system.
EMC Documentum
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
- 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.
- Retrieve documents, images, forms, and other content with their properties from Documentum Content Server with LiveCycle ES applications and processes.
- Process documents, forms, and other content with LiveCycle ES applications and processes.
- Archive processed content — such as form data, converted or certified PDF content, and images — along with its properties in the Documentum Content Server.
- Integrate these experiences into your Documentum applications and processes.
