Use cases of ODWEK Java APIs from a business perspective

Most businesses need to provide access to their Content Manager OnDemand servers through the Internet and through their own intranet. The flexibility that is provided by the ODWEK Java™ APIs allows for the design of customized interfaces that can meet the specific requirements of an organization.

From a business perspective, there are generally two different approaches to accessing the data that is stored in Content Manager OnDemand: Internet access and intranet access.

In the Internet case, users (people that are external to the organization) are given access to a specific subset of information. For example, in a banking application, an internet user can log on and view a current statement or statements that cover the last 12 months. In this situation, the user has access only to the Content Manager OnDemand archive, and the user is presented with a limited set of menus to obtain this data. Typical internet usage involves tens of thousands of users that access the Content Manager OnDemand archive concurrently. The Content Manager OnDemand architecture helps you scale your system to the limits of the available hardware and network resources, and enables your businesses to grow your system as your usage increases.

In the intranet case, users (people that work for an organization) are given access to a wide variety of data based on their user ID access privileges in the Content Manager OnDemand archive. The user is presented with a selection criteria to access any of the stored data based on the security profile. The flexibility that is provided by the ODWEK Java APIs allows for the design of customized interfaces that can meet the specific requirements of an organization.
