SAP Alfresco Integration

This webcast provides an overview of the architecture, administration and most importantly: Use cases of the SAP-Alfresco integration that was engineered by Alfresco Partner CTAC.

The CTAC Connector is certified for the SAP Content Server (HTTP 4.5 protocol) and supports all SAP ArchiveLink scenarios (document and data archiving).

In addition you will see further integration options via the SAP JAVA Connector, that facilitates data exchange between SAP and Alfresco, and enables Alfresco to show its full functionality beyond native SAP capabilites.

Not only links to single documents can be created but also links to folders in Alfresco.

This enables  connections between SAP business objects and the content management system.  Powerful.

Watch a live demo of the system and see many options and advantages of the SAP-Alfresco integration.

ROI-Based Enterprise Content Management

View the webcast

Enterprise Content Management systems have historically been viewed as an expense, a necessary evil to meet compliance standards, for example.

Rarely is ECM viewed as an opportunity to not only cut costs, but possibly to even add to the top line.

Peter Dartnell  lays out how he and his team, along with system integrator OA Solutions, tackled the  significant content management challenges that Alberta Seniors faced with its infrastructure.  All with dollars and cents in mind.

With a focus on improvement of system delivery, Alberta Seniors realized that Alfresco is a platform.  And thus, the most value could be extracted from it, even as they integrated it with other legacy systems.
This webinar is a , case study of how Alberta Seniors used Alfresco to deal with business challenges in our environment.  The examples Peter will cover include:

1 > Education Property Tax program

• Lots of manual data collected from seniors in the province every year.
• We were already imaging them, but we needed to set up a workflow. Alfresco was a solution.

2> Major challenge with our workforce retiring, and walking out of the door with all that knowledge.

• We built a Knowledge Management application on top of Alfresco.
• The user doesn’t know we’re using Alfresco.
  But we’re using lifecycle, web scripts… it’s all Alfresco.

Also:

• Hear about the importance and value of Alfresco being built on a REST architecture.
• Find out why mapping to a drive letter helps change management
• Get Peter’s take on how much focus should be on Records Management versus Document and Web Content Management.
