The OpenText™ Extended ECM Platform integrates Enterprise Content Management (ECM) with lead business applications to bridge content silos and deliver content in context for more effective business processes.

By transparently integrating the OpenText Content Suite Platform into lead applications, seamless information flows are created, improving personal and process productivity while enhancing governance across the enterprise. Extended ECM solutions are available with out-of-the-box integration for many leading business applications like SAP®, SuccessFactors®, Oracle®, Salesforce® and Microsoft® Office 365®.

But, just as importantly, it also comes with the tools, APIs and templates needed to create custom integrations to other systems. Our development tools extend ECM to virtually any lead business application, fully integrating with it to pull content into the context of cross-system business processes. According to Sébastien Vinchon, Senior Principal Architect at OpenText, the idea of creating an Extended ECM connector “started from the initial idea to estimate the complexity of connecting Extended ECM to a business application for which a connector is not available out-of-the-box. Writing an integration connector for other business applications is much easier than you think!”
