EntropySoft, specialist of the ECI market (Enterprise Content Integration), announced that all its connectors are now .NET compliant. By making available its technology to Windows-centric applications, EntropySoft is once more working towards simple, normalized access to all content repositories. This technological step forward reinforces EntropySoft’s strong position as an interoperability leader.

.NET is added to the already supported technologies: Java, Flex and web services. This .NET integration uses a Java – .NET bridge which makes it possible to use the connectors in-process. This makes the connectors much faster than going through web services. The connectors are also lighter in terms of installation, footprint, memory use etc…

All connectors are fully-documented with a reference guide, code samples and contextual help via Microsoft Intellisense. This user-guide is very useful to accelerate the understanding and implementation of EntropySoft technology.

Using the .NET connectors, it is now therefore possible to browse all content repositories and also create a document, modify a version, change permissions, modify metada etc… in a totally .NET environment.

EntropySoft is a connectors factory. EntropySoft’s connectors portfolio consists of more than 30 connectors, the biggest offering of connectors on the market. Recently developed connectors include EMC Documentum, HP TRIM, Oracle UCM, IBM WebSphere Portal Document Manager and Interwoven WorkSite. The plug-and-play EntropySoft connectors list includes major applications such as FileNET P8, Open Text LiveLink, Interwoven TeamSite etc…

Thanks to the sheer number of connectors in the portfolio, interoperability is already a reality for EntropySoft partners. By using a single API, which is the same for all EntropySoft connectors, software vendors and large companies have found the answer to their interoperability requests. Customers no longer need to learn specific programming technologies for each content-centric application, they can access, modify and interact with content through a single technology. EntropySoft therefore becomes a one-stop shopping facility for easy interoperability, on all platforms (Java, .NET, web services).

On top of the read / write connectors, EntropySoft has two technological layers (Content ETL and Content Federation) that can also be OEM’ed to facilitate integration and interoperability.

For the past four years, EntropySoft has acquired valuable knowledge on all popular content-centric systems. This mass of intelligence is put to work on a daily basis in critical business conditions. EntropySoft connectors, Content Federation Server and Content ETL are the first truly interoperable products to be on the market that have been market-tested for years.

EntropySoft brings to software vendors and its technological partners unequalled expertise on most content-centric systems. Apart from its flawless connectors, this daily confrontation with multiple work environments and architecture configurations is especially valued by EntropySoft partners.

On very different markets, the EntropySoft team has built up a wealth of experience, confronting theory and reality everyday. As a consequence, EntropySoft connectors are put to work daily in critical business conditions, and EntropySoft unique in-house developed testing system allows fast implementation of customer-driven connectors improvements. Cross-portfolio testing and validation is applied to all connectors on a day-to-day basis.

The state-of-the-art connectors therefore help customers focus on their differentiators, allowing them to concentrate on their core business while EntropySoft takes care of the connectivity.

EntropySoft is the content-centric applications interoperability leader.

EntropySoft, specialist of the ECI market (Enterprise Content Integration) and unstructured-data integration, announces the release of a new Microsoft SharePoint connector. By making available yet another connector, EntropySoft is increasing again its unrivalled interoperability capacities and the attractiveness of its product offer.

EntropySoft’s Microsoft SharePoint 2007 connector enables read and write access to content stored in the Microsoft SharePoint repository.

“The new version of our Microsoft SharePoint 2007 connector includes some of the more complex albeit popular features of SharePoint. We are now able to integrate all types of lists (Calendar, Tasks, Issues, Discussion boards, Contacts, etc.) and offer a read/write feature for them. This comes on top of all the already available features such as supporting all SharePoint sites objects, folders, documents and document libraries, the folder structure, security, copy, lifecycle, lock / unlock, move, versioning.

The EntropySoft connector is fully compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007). Moreover, installing the connector is easier than ever with its new step-by-step “installation wizard” for SharePoint sites.” says Nicolas Maquaire, EntropySoft CEO. “This new connector, together with our 30 + connectors portfolio, is helping customers to achieve fast, smooth and complete content transfers between SharePoint repositories and other collaboration applications repositories. We are also giving our technological partners the opportunity to interact more closely with this very popular platform.”

EntropySoft is a connectors’ factory. The Microsoft SharePoint connector is part of EntropySoft’s connectors’ portfolio, which consists of more than 30 connectors, the biggest offering of connectors on the market.

EntropySoft connectors, Content Federation Server and Content ETL are the first truly interoperable products to be on the market that have been market-tested for years.

EntropySoft’s OEM clients have specific requests for their specific markets. This means that the connectors have to support the widest range of functionalities. The state-of-the-art connectors therefore help customers focus on their differentiators, allowing them to concentrate on their core business while EntropySoft takes care of the connectivity.

EntropySoft’s strategy is to work on the completeness of features supported by each connector as well as developing multiple connectors for the same application in order to best satisfy customers’ functional and technical constraints.

EntropySoft’s Catalogue of Enterprise Content-Centric Connectors Extends the Reach of Image Integration Systems’ DocuSphere BPM Solutions

EntropySoft, specialist of the Enterprise Content Integration (ECI) market, today announced a new technology agreement with Image Integration Systems. Image Integration Systems is integrating a wide selection of bidirectional connectors from EntropySoft into its DocuSphere line of business process management (BPM) products. This agreement provides Image Integration Systems’ customers with expanded, out-of-the-box connectivity for accessing more critical information across the enterprise.

While Image Integration Systems already offers connections to selected enterprise content databases, the new agreement with EntropySoft will allow DocuSphere to expand its portfolio to include connectors for a growing list of repositories including Microsoft Sharepoint and Exchange, IBM FileNet P8 and DB2 Content Manager, OpenText LiveLink and EMC Documentum, to name just a few. All have been fully tested on large implementations in critical business projects.

“In order to realize the full benefits of DocuSphere’s enterprise-wide BPM products our customers increasingly need access to data and documents that have been stored and managed in repositories outside DocuSphere. The incorporation of EntropySoft’s connectors within DocuSphere will provide our customers with seamless access to that critical information” said Brad White, CEO of Image Integration Systems. “We’re looking forward to deploying this new DocuSphere functionality and working with the experts from EntropySoft.”

“With increased pressure on productivity, content access solutions that reach across all application systems and platforms have become a necessity. There are increasing numbers of content silos in a company. Today, we deliver to Docusphere critical connectivity to all these repositories” said Nicolas Maquaire, CEO and co-founder of EntropySoft. “We also bring to this partnership our vast expertise in content-centric applications and interoperability.”

EntropySoft is an enterprise connectors’ factory. It has more than 30 read/write connectors for unstructured data, possibly the biggest portfolio in the market.
