The Datahaven Toolkit
Technologies are comprised of turnkey, private-labeled content management
software development components and related tools that allow software resellers and
systems integrators to quickly add the full spectrum of content management
functionality to their own custom-coded applications as well as almost any third
party COTS application (e.g., PeopleSoft Enterprise and salesforce.com) and thereby create
content-enabled or "content-rich" versions of these applications.
By content-enabling these applications, 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 VARs and
integrators with a number of advantages that can produce substantial benefits.
Avoid the complexities involved in developing content
management features on your own by dramatically accelerating your ability to add
content management functionality with
direct integration at the
source code level using as few as three
lines of code or indirect
integration where you may not have access to source code
Adapt a wide range of content management functionality to the particular nuances of your
customer's operations 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 ability to offer your customers content-enabled versions of
their software will support
implementations that
climb well into the millions of pages and hundreds of gigabytes.
Generate more consulting services revenue related to analyzing and implementing your
customers' workflow processes and enjoy higher software margins in a market where
entry-level systems typically 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
revenue associated with configuration, implementation, training, and support)
Enable your customers to leverage their existing applications' interfaces to enforce
repeatable, reusable processes within their organization and extend disaster recovery
plans and other best practices with structured data to the larger, more complex world
of unstructured content
