"Complementing OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions, the SPS solution from OpenText enables enterprises to unite the worlds of ERP and ECM, helping to reduce the risks and costs of any records mismanagement, increasing information worker productivity, and enhancing a company's ability to comply with regulations."</p><p>AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) recently reported that governance and business scope extension are among the biggest challenges that SharePoint users face within an enterprise. Users need a way to govern the SharePoint system and maintain insight into the content. In addition, integrating that content into the rest of the business processes of the company offers a broader view and even more control. Using the SPS solution with OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions, users of SharePoint are able to address these issues by connecting their systems to help ensure optimal governance and compliance of their content.</p><p><a href="http://www.itweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71575:OpenText-launches-SharePoint-Services-for-OpenText-Extended-Enterprise-Content-Management-for-SAP-Solutions&catid=69">Keep reading...</a></p>
