Enterprise Content Management: ZyLAB Announces Availability Of Integrated Enterprise Content Management Support For Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007

ZyLAB, an innovative developer of Information Access Solutions, recently announced that it offers seamless integration for managing content between ZyIMAGE and Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007. ZyLAB's ZyIMAGE platform, a XML-based system that provides a robust foundation for the archiving and long-term management of information, augments Office SharePoint Server 2007 by providing a single source for integrated enterprise content management activities and a full range of functionality that ensures easily searchable information.

More and more organizations require integration with SharePoint in a variety of ways. With the ZyIMAGE Archive Services for SharePoint software, customers gain access to an enterprise infrastructure for centralized control of content created and managed in SharePoint Server 2007. To date, ZyLAB offers five types of integration with SharePoint:

  • Move from SharePoint: Option to move documents in SharePoint to ZyIMAGE and replace the document with a link to the document in ZyIMAGE
  • Search: Search within the SharePoint interface in the ZyIMAGE Webserver and view the results within SharePoint
  • Move to SharePoint: Find a document in ZyIMAGE and copy/move this document to SharePoint
  • Meta Storage: Store all the key fields in SharePoint and the document in ZyIMAGE
  • Dynamic Link: Make it possible to add a search in ZyIMAGE to a record in SharePoint

    "We are extending our Microsoft Sharepoint Services by offering access to the open ZyIMAGE XML storage structure," said Dr. Johannes Scholtes, President, ZyLAB North America LLC. "ZyIMAGE offers customers an excellent option for storing information from SharePoint. SharePoint is great for team collaboration, but after a project is finished, many users need to take the information out of SharePoint and store it in an open and sustainable format. All information in the project can be exported to the ZyIMAGE storage, indexed and made searchable."

    Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is an integrated suite of server capabilities that can help improve organizational effectiveness by providing comprehensive content management and enterprise search, accelerating shared business processes, and facilitating information-sharing across boundaries for better business insight. Office SharePoint Server 2007 supports all intranet, extranet, and Web applications across an enterprise within one integrated platform, instead of relying on separate fragmented systems. Additionally, this collaboration and content management server provides IT professionals and developers with the platform and tools they need for server administration, application extensibility, and interoperability.
