An Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system is a web-based electronic library that allows you to safely archive and catalog any electronic file. ECM allows you to store and index analytical raw data, reports, and any other transactions. The stored files are available to be shared with other users. You can store any electronic file type, such as Microsoft Office transactions, Adobe PDF transactions, pictures, and so forth, as well as raw data and reports generated by the CGI Advantage application. ECM allows you to easily collect, organize, search, and review all of your data.
The Advantage application can be simultaneously integrated with multiple ECM products and also with multiple storage repositories for an ECM product. This is to accommodate the need for Departments to adopt different ECM products to meet their specialized requirements.
The following topics describe how ECM can be integrated with CGI Advantage along with the required setup tables and usage considerations.
