What’s new in Release 16 EP5 for the
OpenText Extended ECM Ecosystem

Business Attachments—work more efficiently
• Business attachment is
a powerful concept for
linking one document
to many business
objects
• An individual document
can now be linked
within the business
workspace
• This supports re-use of
documents across
workspaces

Snapshots—important tool for compliance
• A snapshot is an image
of attachments in a
workspace at a time of
creation
• Snapshots point to the
document version at
the time the snapshot
was created
• The snapshot
document version
cannot be deleted and
is therefore a key
feature in ensuring
compliance

• HR processes generally
require some form of
document generation
• The Document Self
Service widget has been
enhanced with document
generation capability as
well as the browse
existing document
• New documents are
automatically stored in
the employee workspace
for compliance purposes
Document Self Service

Integration with SuccessFactors®
• Employee self service
is a key requirement to
support HR
transformation—
reducing the burden on
HR staff for day-to-day
queries
• All document
generation capabilities
are now available in
the lead application
interfaces—
SuccessFactors allows
employees to create
and answer their own
common queries

Configure document types and SuccessFactors Roles
• Security and access
control are key
requirements when
dealing with sensitive
employee data, both
for staff (permanent or
temporary access) and
HR users
• Security can now be
set for each document
type depending on
user’s role, with total
granularity

Integration with Microsoft® Teams
• Microsoft Teams and
Office 365® are the
standard for Content
creation in the Digital
Workplace but lack
true document
management and
records management
capabilities
• Extended ECM Office
365 now integrates
directly into the
Microsoft Teams user
interfaces to provide
full content lifecycle
management

Integrated business workspaces
• Not only is the document
structure integrated into
Teams, but as more and
more organizations use
the Business Workspace
approach, these can also
be accessed via the
Teams interface
• This can link
unstructured content with
structured data from
other lead applications
such as SAP® ERP,
S/HANA, Salesforce®
and SuccessFactors

Integration with Microsoft Teams
• When working in a
business workspace in
Extended ECM, users
can add documents
directly from Office
365—including
recently accessed
documents in Team
spaces and One Drive

Extended ECM for Microsoft Dynamics Customer Engagement, by Contesto
• Customer, Prospect, Sales
and Support documentation
all contain key knowledge for
organizations and this
needs to be made centrally
available to all stakeholders
• Improve customer
engagement by surfacing
OpenText Business
Workspace content in the
Microsoft Dynamics 365 UI
with supporting capabilities
including drag and drop, edit,
filter content and search
• Securely manage the
lifecycle of Microsoft
Dynamics 365 content by
applying roles and
authorization from Microsoft
Dynamics 365 to content
hierarchies
