Preface:Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is evolving towards portal-based and SOA-based solutions, the use of new technologies makes it easier for enterprises to convert untraceable data into knowledge that can be queried by employees.

It is common for employees of a company to find the information they want. Generally, 20% of the data is formatted in the form of reports and databases, however, 80% of the information is stored in emails, texts, profiles, or illustrations, and is stored in different applications, hard disks, or sites. It can be said that our company does not have the data we need, but does not know how to find them.

SOA-based portal for information SOLIDIFICATION

Common Content Management Systems (CMS) of enterprises are usually not only one set. Data and content are independent of each other between different systems. Besides redundancy, version Management, archiving, and retrieval are all difficult.

ECM built using SOA uses unified components that comply with SOA standards and specifications to construct different CMS. Data Sources interact with each other through XML or soap, ensuring data consistency and synchronization. In this way, the original CMS will solve the problem of content management.

Intermediate role of SAP NetWeaver

This part basically uses the SAP NetWeaver technology to implement the advertisement Soft Text of SOA, mainly meaning: whether it is SAP application or non-SAP application, enterprises can use NetWeaver to integrate through Web Services. SAP not only deploys its products to the SOA environment through NetWeaver, but its partners can also develop interfaces and middleware compliant with SOA specifications through NetWeaver technology. The application of these technologies will remove the obstacles between ERP and other application systems (such as ECM. SAP NetWeaver's integrated knowledge management component has built-in components for processing nonstandard data. It is wise to apply them to ECM systems...

Convert the media format to the past

In the SOA architecture, SAP NetWeaver technology is used to enable editing to easily complete content management without converting the formats of media data (text, sound, images, etc. All of this can be simply programmed using the application toolkit provided by SAP NetWeaver.

Business processes unrelated to applications

BPM (Business Process Management) has recently become popular. It is actually a Data Mining of content management models. SOA separates business management from data management.

Simplify your business

Enterprise-related data is often separated between different departments and employees and Information Systems. systems designed according to the SOA principle will be centered on login personnel and determine the storage of underlying data according to their business scope, avoid data redundancy and low read/write efficiency.
