The FileNet® P8 family of products includes back-end services, development tools, and applications that address enterprise content and process management requirements. This section includes an architectural overview of these FileNet P8 components.
As shown in the center of the following diagram, the FileNet P8 platform provides the baseline components for enterprise content management solutions, including Content Platform Engine, Application Engine, Workplace XT, and Rendition Engine. These components address enterprise content management (ECM) and business process management requirements. Additional components can be added to a system to enable additional capabilities. Content federation capabilities for accessing enterprise-wide content are shown at the bottom of the diagram, and include IBM® FileNet Content Federation Services for Image Services, which enables applications that are built on the FileNet P8 platform to natively access IBM FileNet Image Services documents. Some components are available on a different release cycle than the FileNet P8 baseline components.
