IBM DB2 Content Manager

To assist customers in addressing needs for data retention, IBM delivers DB2 Content Manager along with business consulting services (as needed).

IBM® DB2® Content Manager provides a foundation for managing, accessing and integrating critical business information on demand. It lets you integrate all forms of content - document, web, image, rich media - across diverse business processes and applications, including Siebel, PeopleSoft and SAP. Content Manager integrates with existing hardware and software investments, both IBM and non-IBM, enabling customers to leverage common infrastructure, achieve a lower cost of ownership, and deliver new, powerful information and services to customers, partners and employees where and when needed. It is comprised of two core repository products that are integrated with Tivoli Storage Manager for storage of documents into the DR550:

•DB2 Content Manager is optimized for large collections of large objects. It provides imaging, digital asset management, and web content management. When combined w/ DB2 Records Manager, it also provides a robust records retention repository for managing the retention of all enterprise documents.

•DB2 Content Manager OnDemand is optimized to manage very large collections of smaller objects such as statements and checks. It provides output and report management.

More information on the DB2 Content Manager portfolio of products can be found at the following

web site: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/cm/

There are a number of applications that work with IBM Content Manager to deliver specific solutions. These applications are designed to use Content Manager functions and can send data to be stored in DR550 SMB.
