Security

ECMSDK's flexible and fine-grained security concept protects data from unauthorized access. But this is not the only reason why ECMSDK is particularly suitable for applications with high security requirements.

Functions and features:

Extensibility

ECMSDK provides a wide range of functions via Java API. Thanks to its modular and flexible software architecture, ECMSDK can be extended to include new functions.

LifeCycleManagement

Data organized in ECMSDK can be efficiently managed using LifeCycleManagement. User-defined actions are processed here in a defined sequence.

Functions and features:

  • Definition of own rules and actions for the lifecycle of contents

  • Flexible strategies for storage management such as external storage of data, for example

  • System-controlled compliance with retention periods

  • Support for partitioning at database level

  • Event or time-based LifeCycleManagement
