Introduction What It Is? < back

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 or OLE DB 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.
