EntropySoft : Connectors

EntropySoft connectors are used to access easily the most popular content-centric applications.

Every day, the number of content silos used in a company increases.

Each department wants to have its own wiki or collaboration application, new vertical solutions come with their own content repository (BPM, CRM system etc...).

Mergers, acquisitions, the introduction of new applications or the use of cloud repositories, all contribute to the multiplication of content repositories and therefore the increase of content fragmentation.

The IT system includes vertical applications or products that connect to different content-silos. More than often, the applications are non-compatible and therefore there is a risk of not being able to access all relevant information. Accessing the various information repositories can become very complicated.

Content fragmentation brings at least the following three challenges for an IT department or a software company:
- To connect easily with all content repositories
- To achieve more flexibility in case of content silo change
- To have regularly updated and upgraded connectivity

EntropySoft, a pioneer of interoperability and the leader for connectivity solutions, has market-tested products to nullify content fragmentation. EntropySoft is helping companies and software vendors solve their integration problems by offering a large selection of connectors for the most popular content-centric systems.

The connectors can be used to read, write, update metadata, change permissions, lock / unlock documents, check in / check out etc…

All connectors are built with a common API and therefore can provide a normalized access to the various content repositories. You are able to use one technology only to access all repositories. The API is simple, intuitive and fully documented

EntropySoft read / write connectors are stand-alone libraries (jar files, .dll files). They are designed to be out-of-the-box OEM components

EntropySoft connectors offer content management intelligence features such as the ground-breaking Repository Changes feature. The connectors now have the ability to track changes to the repository and deliver a list of added, updated and deleted documents since the last request.

This is a critical feature for any application that needs to be aware of the latest changes of content or permission in a content silo. Any change to a repository is automatically recorded and a list of changes can be retrieved dynamically.

For example, for Enterprise Search companies, this feature means that indexes can be quickly updated on a very frequent basis. Instead of having to browse all the repositories to rebuild the index, EntropySoft connectors deliver automatically the changes in the repositories. This increases tremendously the synchronization speed of repositories as well as permit real-time updated indexes.

EntropySoft also includes in its connectors portfolio the technology to connect securely to cloud content repositories.

Thanks to its secure remote connectors server, EntropySoft can deliver its added value to the extended enterprise.

EntropySoft connectors are robust and performance-oriented. They are already used in large implementations in different contexts by world-class companies, handling high-volume business-critical operations.
