Content Management Matters ™

With another integration under their belt, Day Software continues to prove the value of building a content management solution based on the Java Content Repository (JCR) standard.

In this case, SAP has slapped Day on the back for integrating Communiqué (CQ) with the SAP NetWeaver enterprise portal, enabling their customers to integrate business content and processes directly with the portal.

What's the best way to insure viability while the threat of global economic recession looms?

Take on more venture funding, and Alfresco did just that to the tune of US $9 million.

Where did the money come from? It was a group effort led by SAP Ventures and including long-time Alfresco backers Accel Partners and Mayfield Fund.

According to Alfresco, the funds will be used to support "continued growth into the enterprise content management market, including product development and acceleration of global expansion plans, particularly in the German, U.S. and Asian markets".

This news could not come at a better time for Alfresco. With recession fears on everyone's mind, this influx of cash should calm the concerns of both employees and customers.

Kudos to Alfresco on their good fortune and to SAP Ventures for what appears to be a wise investment.

Open Text announced their data integration tool Genio, adopted after the Hummingbird purchase in '06, will become a key part of incumbent content and data integration strategies.

This morning, Day -- which just joined IBM's ECM ValueNet program -- announces an expansion of its existing SAP integration capabilities to feature support for SAP NetWeaver Portal 6.0. This means enterprise users can add business content and functionalities into existing SAP NetWeaver Portal environments with Day's out-of-the-box portlets.

These portlets enable managed content, dynamically associated with SAP NetWeaver Portal, to appear in iViews. This also supports presentation capabilities, with available inclusion of portal navigation and TREX search.

Other boons include multi-language support, content sharing, personalization, inter-portlet communication, and support for LDAP and Single Sign-On. Learn more about the offering at the Day website.
