Open Text Corporation, provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software, announced a next-generation services-oriented architecture,
with the first services to be delivered early next year.
Called the Livelink ECM Services Architecture, the platform provides a layer of software “services” that link corporate applications to repositories of information, no matter where they reside.
The Livelink platform facilitates the smooth evolution of existing applications, speeds the development of new applications targeting new segments of the enterprise content management market, and provides easier integration of the company’s acquired technologies.
"More than ever, customers want greater functionality in their applications while demanding greater flexibility and reduced cost in their deployments. This is a huge challenge given the current diversity of architectures, interfaces, languages, and integration mechanisms in large organizations," said David Glazer, Chief Technology Officer at Open Text. "Our new services architecture is the key to creating easy-to-deploy ECM solutions that bridge the divides between people, information, and applications like never before."
The architecture is built entirely in Java and includes native support for SOAP-based Web Services. It contains a family of federated services, an integration framework, and a flexible, extensible object layer. Customers can more easily deploy composite applications that build on Open Text’s broad family of ECM solutions, and Open Text can more quickly add new solutions to the family. In addition, partners or customers have an open platform to easily build and add specialized components when needed.
