Cloud integration

The development of SaaS (Software as a Service) means that more and more companies work with document repositories that are no longer managed on-premise. Using external document repositories is also very common when mergers and acquisitions happen: organizations with different IT architectures need to put their resources in common as fast as possible. Additional repositories can also be created when a company wants to have an external repository to share documents and information with their customers. Using external document repositories increases content fragmentation. Documents can be scattered across various repositories, both inside and outside of a company.

When deciding to use cloud repositories, it is vital to secure at the same time the capacity to synchronize or access documents at any time, in any repository. Therefore, regular and reliable transfer content is compulsory to guarantee a positive cloud experience.

Cloud synchronization

SaaS offers are becoming richer and more attractive. Large companies are often very interested in the proposed services, either for vertical solutions (sales automation, human resources management) or for sharing and managing information in the cloud.
Often, no longer having in-house the deployed application and its data is a deterrent for using the services. Two concerns are focusing the attention of decision makers: loading the initial data set and integrating the day-to-day produced data with the other on-premise applications. For both concerns, the said data can either be structured or unstructured; EntropySoft is focusing on unstructured data. Before the launch of the SaaS application, the data is distributed all over the information system in the enterprise and used daily. Rolling-out the SaaS application induces loading it with all relevant existing data. Then, after the roll-out, the data created in this SaaS application is probably vital for the company and needs to be used by the other on-premise applications on a very frequent basis. One of EntropySoft’s objectives is to help SaaS companies facilitate the adoption of their products and therefore nullify the two above-mentioned blocking points. Applications all work differently: technologies are different, as well as metadata and security models. It is critical to take into account the differences and work out cross-applications correspondences. Besides, transferring information implies transformations. For example, during the transfer, documents can be published into pdf format and metadata can be added. Companies and therefore users need to Extract, Transform and Load easily documents in their day-to-day working environments. EntropySoft believes that it is crucial to erase the borders between cloud and on-premise applications. This can be achieved by deploying bridges that offer fast and efficient synchronization capacity to users. The bridges make easier initial content transfers, on-demand transfers and daily synchronization.
