15.3 Documentum Portlets

EMC Documentum has partnered with Oracle to offer EMC Documentum Content Services for Oracle Weblogic Portal. This product provides a packaged set of Documentum functionality exposed through the Oracle WebLogic Portal infrastructure, allowing users to access and interact with all types of enterprise content including web pages, documents, and rich media such as audio and video.

From a portlet development perspective, a key feature of this product is the inclusion of Documentum portlets—application components that expose standardized, enhanced content management user functions through the portal interface.

Documentum portlets expose four key applications:

Content management portlets allow users to manage any type of content.
Web Publisher portlets permit casual users to publish content to web sites and portals.
eRoom portlets provide dashboard views into EMC Documentum eRooms and allow multiple project management.
The Enterprise Content Integration (ECI) Services portlet enables continuous access to content in other repositories, databases, and Web sites.
