Preface

Oracle Imaging and Process Management (Oracle I/PM) integrates electronic document storage, retrieval, and annotation with business processes to facilitate document use across an enterprise. Documents are uploaded into a repository managed by Oracle Universal Content Manager using an application within I/PM. Applications are predefined by you based on your business need. Documents are uploaded to applications based on a business need. For example, one application would be used to upload an invoice and a different application would be used to upload a contract. The application determines the metadata that is associated with a document, as well as security permissions to the document and any document annotations. This guide details how to define applications and searches, connect to a workflow server to integrate with other business processes, and configure I/PM to best meet your company needs.

Audience

This guide is intended for administrators who need to configure and manage an Oracle Imaging and Process Management implementation.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to all users, including users that are disabled. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
