2 Ensure content compliance and harness the power of SAP software Ensure content compliance and harness the power of SAP software Organizations worldwide rely on Microsoft SharePoint for enterprise-wide collaboration. That reliance has led to the rapid growth of Microsoft SharePoint content and the need to integrate its work streams and content into larger business processes. To achieve this, organizations are turning to the SAP Content Management for Microsoft SharePoint application by OpenText. SAP Content Management supports management of Microsoft SharePoint content to improve document and data access across the enterprise. It helps organizations increase productivity, enforce compliance and archiving policies, and lower administration and storage costs. SAP Content Management preserves Microsoft SharePoint users ability to create and share Microsoft SharePoint sites and documents. Its rule-based archiving and record management functionality helps reduce noncompliance risk, increase control of site management and replication, and eliminate data silos. SAP Content Management makes Microsoft SharePoint content available within the SAP Extended Enterprise Content Management (SAP Extended ECM) application by OpenText. When SAP Extended ECM is integrated with SAP Content Management, teams across your organization can interact with Microsoft SharePoint content and SAP software content including transaction data and processes using workspaces in SAP Extended ECM. 2 / 7

3 Transform collaboration into process-driven collaboration Transform collaboration into process-driven collaboration Enforce comprehensive content archiving and compliance Control proliferation of Microsoft SharePoint content Traditional Microsoft SharePoint deployments certainly support robust team collaboration. However, Microsoft SharePoint is disconnected from an organization s deployed enterprise software and, as a result, is poorly integrated with core business processes. By bringing Microsoft SharePoint content, SAP software transaction data, and robust ECM control policies together within Microsoft SharePoint, SAP Content Management helps teams ensure that work streams within Microsoft SharePoint fully synchronize with core business processes. For example, with SAP Content Management and SAP Extended ECM deployed alongside Microsoft SharePoint, plant and maintenance information can be managed more efficiently and transparently from within Microsoft SharePoint. Asset management teams can execute highly efficient plant maintenance processes using transaction data generated by their deployed enterprise asset management software from SAP. And shipping specialists can improve document generation and distribution processes all from within Microsoft SharePoint. When deployed with SAP Extended ECM, SAP Content Management connects Microsoft SharePoint content and users with SAP software content and users. 3 / 7

SAP Content Management complements Microsoft SharePoint to support sound information governance that includes comprehensive record management and archiving and support for full compliance with government, industry, and company-specific policies. The application s archiving functionality goes beyond the simple time stamping of documents. Microsoft SharePoint content is enriched with contextual metadata to establish a full chain of custody and support traceability to meet the demands of internal auditors, external regulators, and legal requests. Microsoft SharePoint documents are fully archived as records and controlled using content type mapping, document access permission synchronization, and automatic link updating. The software meets various international standards for record management to facilitate the proper capture, preservation, and disposition of enterprise content. SAP Content Management meets U.S. Department of Defense Standard and other applicable international standards for record management. 4 / 7

5 Control proliferation of Microsoft SharePoint content Transform collaboration into process-driven collaboration Enforce comprehensive content archiving and compliance Control proliferation of Microsoft SharePoint content Microsoft SharePoint s popularity often means a proliferation of thousands and even tens of thousands of Microsoft SharePoint sites that are used and then left in systems across the company. And too often, IT lacks any control over the sites despite the increase in database growth, server costs, and maintenance effort. With site management automation and user self-services, SAP Content Management helps IT administer sites more efficiently and cost-effectively. Using the site management console functionality of SAP Content Management available through the central administration interface of Microsoft SharePoint, IT staff can delegate control of Microsoft SharePoint sites to local administrators. They can use advanced site templates and self-service configuration functionality to accelerate site deployment. SAP Content Management also supports the archiving and deletion of redundant and inactive sites from within Microsoft SharePoint. This allows organizations to reduce the maintenance effort and costs associated with Microsoft SharePoint while protecting information security and compliance. SAP Content Management for Microsoft SharePoint boosts team effectiveness enterprise-wide while reducing IT costs and simplifying IT administration. 5 / 7
