This is the final release of OpenGoo version 1.6. Following are the new features in this release,
Archive objects and workspaces
When you no longer need an object or workspace you can archive it to remove it from your every day views, while its still searchable and accessible via the “Archived Objects” workspace.
Mark as read/unread for all types of objects
Until now the read/unread functionality was available only for emails. Now it is also available for all other types of content objects. If an object was modified since your last view it will be marked in bold for you to quickly notice that it has changes. Once you view the object it will be marked as read.
Improvements to the email module

EntropySoft releases Standalone Content ETL for Cloud integration
Nov 12, 2009 by Serge Guillerme Miscellaneous
EntropySoft, specialist of the ECI market (Enterprise Content Integration), is releasing a standalone version of its Content ETL product for unstructured data. Standalone Content ETL is specifically designed for SaaS companies that want to simplify cloud integration. By releasing this version of Content ETL, EntropySoft is reinforcing its position as one of the main suppliers of cloud integration products for unstructured data.
The development of Software as a Service (SaaS) means that more and more companies work with document repositories that are no longer managed “in-house”. Using external document repositories is the fastest way to deliver document-based solutions without the pain of deploying and maintaining internally complex architectures. Additionally, a cloud strategy is very common when mergers and acquisitions happen: organizations with different IT architectures need to put their resources in common as fast as possible.
External document repositories increase content fragmentation and the need to exchange securely and easily documents over the firewall. The use of cloud repositories must be initiated in conjunction with a strategy to have easy transfers between cloud and corporate repositories.
EntropySoft’s Standalone Content ETL is specifically designed to be an ideal product for such transfers.
In all companies, most common practice is sending an e-mail with an attachment when sharing information inside or outside of the company. It is common to first download a document from a content-centric application and mail it. The receiving party uploads and saves in its own repository of choice.
This common practice highlights the dangers of not managing company-wide content transfers. Taking the document out of its initial repository comes with major risks regarding permissions, lifecycle management and mail server overload. A protected document extracted from its initial repository becomes a non-protected document. The complete history of the document is left behind or lost. Knowledge Management becomes impossible.
Content ETL is the best product in its category to manage cross-repository document lifecycle. It can manage real time, on-demand or on-schedule transfers between more than 30 applications, without losing permissions and history.
Applications can be fundamentally different, especially with regards to permissions, metadata models or users and groups directories. Content ETL is deploying “bridges” between repositories. The role of the bridges is first to map the different models (permissions, metadata, users and groups…) and then manage the actual transfer.
Thanks to EntropySoft’s state-of-the-art connectors the bridges can be deployed between more than 30 enterprise content repositories including Microsoft SharePoint, Documentum, Google DOCS, IBM FileNet, Opentext Livelink, Alfresco and many other.
