Introduction
Information is knowledge. The enterprise whether small
or large depends on data to drive everyday business
processes, from marketing campaigns to customer service,
sales and auditing. As such, the data that exists
in your SmartSearch system is invaluable to the organization.
SmartSearch metadata is not only used to image enable
documents but can be extended to populate other 3rd
party business applications, external data sources,
middleware utilities or file system objects.
What Is It?
Square9 DataMerge Services can develop a bi-directional
data link between an ODBC compliant data source and SmartSearch.
So when you are indexing documents into SmartSearch,
a unique value(s) can be taken and passed transparently
to an external data source to retrieve other relevant
data that can be applied to the SmartSearch record. This
data merge process eliminates the need for double data
entry and speeds the indexing process.
Data merge can also be a set of customized routines
to distribute data to applications, as well
as provide dynamic responses based on certain data
values or data replication for disaster recovery.
Moreover, utilizing
inherent SQL Server tools, a Square9 consultant
can write customized middleware applications to facilitate
data extraction and integration with reporting
tools and line-of-business applications that will
extend
semi-business intelligence functionality to your
SmartSearch system.
Some of the applications we have integrated with:
JD Edwards, Great Plains, Dynamics, Axapta, Quickbooks, SAP, Sage MAS 90, Microsoft
CRM, GEAC, SharePoint, Lawson, McKesson and many
others.  
Data in its rough form is liquid and can be transformed,
massaged and ported to almost any media, giving your
organization the flexibility it needs to stay competitive.
Our metadata service offering allows business processes
to be automated based on the data it receives and
interprets. Each data transformation, replication,
distribution solution may be tailored to meet a business
problem, or to improve workflow.
