ASG Software Solutions Releases ASG-Total Content Integrator

ASG Software Solutions, in IT infrastructure, content management and cloud computing software solutions for global enterprises, released a total content integration and enterprise archiving solution for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 deployments.

ASG-Total Content Integrator (TCI) for Microsoft SharePoint 2010 delivers content integration capabilities by associating SharePoint content with content in other business applications, enabling enterprise-class storage and archiving, improving information governance and compliance, and incorporating enhanced business process controls.

ASG-TCI for SharePoint is designed to:

• Integrate SharePoint environments with multiple department – level SharePoint deployments and with content repositories for other business applications – finance/accounting, customer relationship management, warehouse management, records management, etc.
• Grant SharePoint users access to employee – and application-generated content throughout the enterprise via the familiar SharePoint user interface
• Afford IT the ability to store and archive SharePoint documents for long-term retention, including binary large objects (BLOB), to improve SharePoint scalability and performance

"A challenge for many organizations with multiple Microsoft SharePoint deployments and other business applications for customer service, finance/accounting, inventory management, etc., is having separate silos of geographically-dispersed content that very likely have relationships to one another," said Erin McCart, ASG product marketing. "With separate sources of content in different applications, it is difficult for employees to quickly and easily identify and locate all of the information they need to make strategic and operational decisions. ASG-TCI for SharePoint solves that challenge by giving SharePoint users the ability to access all mission-critical employee and application generated content, both internal and external, through the familiar SharePoint user interface or via ASG’s web-based user interface, ASG-DocumentDirect for the Internet."

Using Microsoft’s SharePoint Designer, Business Connectivity Services (BCS) and ASG Web Parts, the ASG-TCI for SharePoint solution can integrate and deliver enterprise content within any SharePoint page. ASG-TCI is also able to transform any data stream into the appropriate format for delivery across multiple channels, from SharePoint, SharePoint Online, other portals, native viewers, and more.

When combined with the ASG-ViewDirect Repository, ASG-DocumentDirect for the Internet and ASG-Records Manager, ASG-TCI for SharePoint gives Microsoft SharePoint deployments a complete content management solution for user- and application-generated content.

ASG-ViewDirect functions as both a long-term archive for regulatory compliance, supporting read-only storage, as well as a real-time engine for Web delivery of document-based content.

The ASG-ViewDirect Repository is a content storage and archiving solution that supports any platform, any database, any storage device, any data format, and any volume.

ASG-Records Manager can capture, classify and dispose of large-volumes of electronic information in pre-defined or dynamically-generated folders.

ASG-TCI for SharePoint delivers a mission-critical content management solution that combines SharePoint content management capabilities with enterprise content integration and enterprise storage and archiving services.

• Integrates and associates content in SharePoint with content in other business application repositories
• Captures, stores and archives content automatically in SharePoint, ASG-ViewDirect Repository, or other ASG-TCI-configured repositories
