The Datahaven Toolkit
Technologies are comprised of turnkey, private-labeled content
management software development components and related tools that allow
in-house corporate developers to quickly add the full spectrum of content management
functionality to internally-developed, mission-critical applications and thereby
create content-enabled or "content-rich" versions of their COTS
applications.
By content-enabling your internally-developed software application, you provide
users with seamless access to the functionality required to capture, process,
retrieve, distribute, archive, and dispose of unstructured content — things
like paper, faxes, email, audio, video, etc. — natively from within the
already-familiar interface of the existing application. According to Gartner,
this approach satisfies the software user's "tactical interest in buying
something that is closer to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software than a
framework or template that requires lots of customization."
These content-enabled or "content-rich" applications provide
corporations with a number of advantages that can produce a number of benefits for
the company and its development staff.
Dramatically accelerate the development time of a content-enabled version of your
software using as few as
three lines of code and avoid the complexities involved in
developing these features on your own
Adapt a wide range of content management functionality to the particular nuances of
your software and how your customers use it with access to
well over 100 API calls
Create powerful competitive differentiation and allow you to
avoid offering limited "file attachment" functionality
Have confidence that your content-enabled software will support multiple
implementations each of which may need to climb
well into the
millions of pages and hundreds of gigabytes.
Generate substantial savings related to labor costs, priority shipping, as well as
licensing, training, and support of software in a market where licenses alone for
entry-level systems often sell for $10,000 (or more) for a handful of users,
mid-level systems for about 100 users run from $40,000 to $100,000, and
enterprise-level solutions for hundreds of users exceed $500,000 (and these figures
don't even include the costs associated with configuration, implementation,
training, and support)
Leverage the interfaces of your existing mission-critical applications to enforce
repeatable, reusable processes within your organization, minimize human error, and
maximize worker productivity
Extend disaster recovery plans and other best practices with structured data to the
larger, more complex world of unstructured content
