Interwoven, Hummingbird address regulatory demands

ECM tools toe compliance line

Just about every inch of the technology stack is addressing compliance, and ECM (enterprise content management) is no exception, as vendors parlay deep content expertise to help companies meet compliance requirements.

This week ECM player Interwoven will introduce Content Provisioning, a combination of server software products and services designed to provide an audit trail for application code and content changes. Another ECM player, Hummingbird, by midyear plans to ship Content Drive, which is aimed at simplifying connections between ECM and content authoring applications.

Interwoven Content Provisioning gives IT workers control of Web-based application elements such as versioning, rollback, workflow, and reporting. It allows them to aggregate, synchronize, and deploy code, content, and configurations from any development system and deploy to any application environment.

The offering consists of services with two existing Interwoven products. OpenDeploy aggregates and distributes code and content from any system to any platform, whereas ControlHub is a platform for application version control that records changes and provisioning activities.

Hummingbird this summer will ship Content Drive, which allows the Hummingbird ECM system to integrate with Windows at the kernel level to streamline interactions with applications such as Office. Handling file operations at the OS-level translates into better ECM reliability and more accurate document control.

Standardized ECM infrastructure can help ease compliance pressures to account for all things that happened to a type of content, said Stephen O’Grady, senior analyst at RedMonk.

“You can capture content, but because sites are delivered dynamically, you need to capture code that rendered that site as well,” O’Grady said.
