How to Extend SharePoint with Content-Centric Applications

Leveraging SharePoint for content-centric business applications has been complicated and resource intensive. Functionality that is required in many applications such as scanning, OCR, Business Process Management (BPM), Fax, ERP Integration, E-signature and Records Management all require third party products and significant IT investment. Without the ability to effectively automate departmental business processes, the promise of SharePoint remains undelivered and undiscovered.

SpringCM enables the rapid deployment of content-centric applications that automate key processes such as case management, contract and proposal management, and accounts payable, just to name a few. The SpringCM Cloud Connectors for SharePoint enable organizations to extend and enhance SharePoint portals and collaborate with content rich management functionality all available as a SaaS subscription. The connectors operate both with SharePoint implementations installed onsite and those hosted in external data environments.

The SpringCM platform integrates over 25 technologies spanning ECM and BPM to enable you to automate complex processes in less time and at lower cost than previously possible. Use the SpringCM Cloud Connector for SharePoint when:

• You need to manage and work with mostly documents as opposed to mostly data.
• You need key functions such as Fax, BPM, document view and mark up, e-signature, scanner integration, and OCR that are not native to the SharePoint platform.
• You need a document process automated ASAP to adhere to time deployment constraints.
• Cost of SharePoint deployment and integration makes developing applications in SharePoint prohibitively expensive.
• Your application requires you to combine document and scanned content with data in SharePoint.
• You need a single user interface for most of your users, but need powerful ECM functionality for others.
