Learn about ECM and filenet p8

ECM (Enterprise Content Management) has been abroad for more than 20 years. It appeared in Chinese people's field of view in 2005. For a long time, programming is inseparable from data storage, while data storage in the field of view of most programmers is limited to structured data, and there is no doubt about a single storage form, there is no question about whether there are other ways to deal with the problem. This is because of the narrow vision and the lack of a comprehensive view of the problem, and the two interact with each other.

The direct understanding of ECM is to manage enterprise content. What is content? The familiar structured data is content, and the commonly used Word files, email files, images, and so on are also content, which is called unstructured data. A simple understanding of ECM can process both structured data and unstructured data. To understand what content is:

ECM is the technology, tool, and method used to acquire, manage, store, retain, and use content in an enterprise, automate and streamline business processes, and make quick and good decisions. This involves three core content of ECM: content, Porcess, and connectivity. The specific explanation is as follows:

ECM can be understood as an ideology, an abstraction, or a market. Many companies are pursuing this abstraction and competing in this market. Filenet P8 is a platform for building ECM solutions. For this field, you can simply understand this market share.

The following is a brief introduction to filenet P8.

The filenet P8 platform for building ECM solutions is supported by the following three core engines, as shown in:

 

To understand the filenet P8 platform, you can simply compare and understand the four-piece bedding set in your daily life. That is, filenet P8 is also a suite product. Currently, four filenet P8 suits is available. The three engines above are equivalent to cotton, silk and fabric.

The four sets above can be separately purchased. The suites of filenet P8 can also be separately purchased as needed. In addition, a filenet P8 suite is a set of products tailored to a specific business volume. As shown in the following figure, it is worth noting that all Kits include the CM kit, which also indicates that the CM kit is the core of filenet P8.

Each suite may also contain some extensions, which may be independently added to the filenet P8 system. Some extensions are as follows:

The composition of each suite is shown in the group. It is worth noting that Im suite can be used as an independent system, that is, it can exist without relying on the three major engines of filenet P8.

Filenet P8 is composed of the above four suites. They can be customized and used according to specific business needs. That is, filenet P8 is modular and customizable and scalable. Shows the composition.

 

At this point, we have a general understanding of ECM and filenet P8, and the process of their application scenarios is complex and changeable. This application scenario has some common characteristics, that is, high interaction, complicated processes, high concurrency, and data sharing. The application scenarios and features are shown in:

Finally, the following figure shows the composition of filenet P8 and the construction of an ECM solution to solve specific businesses.
