IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform is a next-generation, unified enterprise foundation for the integrated IBM FileNet P8 products. It combines the enterprise content management with comprehensive business process management and compliance capabilities. IBM FileNet P8 addresses the most demanding compliance, content, and process management needs for your entire organization. It is a key element in creating an agile, adaptable enterprise content management (ECM) environment necessary to support a dynamic organization that must respond quickly to change.

In this IBM Redbooks® publication, we provide an overview of IBM FileNet P8 and describe the core component architecture. We also introduce major expansion products that extend IBM FileNet P8 functionality in the areas of content ingestion, content accessing through connectors and federation, the application framework, and discovery and compliance.

IBM FileNet P8 Platform supports enterprise content management. In this book, we discuss the anatomy of an ECM infrastructure, content event processing, content life cycle, and business processes.

Each IBM FileNet P8 product has its own functionality, but they are all built on top of the IBM FileNet P8 Platform. The support for security around authentication and access control of processes and content of these products is provided by the core platform. In this book, we describe the security issues to consider in an enterprise environment, how IBM FileNet P8 addresses them, and how to manage security effectively in an IBM FileNet P8 environment.

Another important topic that we address in this book is how the unique ability of the IBM FileNet P8 Platform can scale horizontally and vertically to respond to increasing load demands. We discuss the available options for each of the core platform engines and for the expansion products.

We designed this book to give IT architects, IT specialists, and IT Technical Sales a solid understanding of IBM FileNet P8 Platform, its architecture, its functions and extensibility, and its unlimited capabilities.
