DocWay Web Parts for SharePoint

The Missing Link Between SharePoint and Documentum

DocWay Web Parts for SharePoint gives organizations complete integration between SharePoint and Documentum. User-friendly SharePoint portals are commonplace in today’s corporate environment, but until now, integrating them with Documentum systems has been complicated and time- and resource-intensive.

DocWay Web Parts for SharePoint provides functionality in three key areas: content management, search, and business process management. All Web Parts support multiple Docbases and versions of Documentum, and function either in isolation or in combination. The individual DocWay Web Parts are highly customizable and can be quickly and easily enhanced to match the specific needs of your organization.

Performance

Usability and performance are cornerstones of DocWay. We have taken our years of portal development experience and poured our knowledge into DocWay Web Parts for SharePoint.

  • 100% AJAX – We believe we have reached the holy grail of never refreshing screens when using DocWay. We get information that is needed when it is needed. Excess calls to Documentum and network traffic are reduced.
  • Web Part to Web Part Communication – Our Web Parts automatically know when they are active and communicate with each other. Check out a document from your Subscriptions Web Part and have it automatically show up in the Checkouts Web Part without ever having to refresh the screen.
  • AJAX Tooltips – Hover over a Documentum object and receive additional information without refreshing the screen. Real estate on a portal page is limited, and the DocWay tooltip feature provides the ability to receive additional information without taking up extra portal page space. The DocWay tooltips can display different information based on object type or object attributes, allowing true customization of information.

  • Content Transfer – Our content transfer is very fast. No UCF needed.
  • Caching – We cache the right amount of information at the portal layer to reduce unnecessary Documentum calls.
  • Pop-ins / Pop-ups – The DocWay Dialogs are displayed as either a pop-up window or as a pop-in window. We do not refresh the page when you request properties, relationships, versions, etc. on Documentum objects.

  • Load Balancing – DocWay Web Parts easily run in a SharePoint farm. Additionally, the DocWay Server can be load balanced.

Security

  • DocWay supports existing security models:
    • SSO via Netegrity or RSA
    • Cached Credentials (mapping of SharePoint users to Documentum users)
    • Documentum Principal Authenticator
  • SSL Environments supported
  • Binds fixed credentials to specific DocWay Web Part instances (e.g., HR Policies and Procedures in a DocWay Web Part on the home page)

Configuration

  • DocWay is highly configurable and can be implemented according to your specific business needs.
