Oracle WebCenter is a web platform for creating intranets, extranets, composite applications, and self-service portals. It provides users a more secure and efficient means to consume information and interact with applications, processes, and users.  It allows organizations to:

  • Create and manage role-based portals for desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
  • Leverage a pre-built library of reusable components.
  • Use a comprehensive yet flexible set of development tools for building and deploying custom built components.

Many organizations face the challenge of having multiple portal platforms leveraged by their internal and external users. It is common to find Microsoft SharePoint used alongside other web platforms, such as WebCenter. Integrating WebCenter with SharePoint, or any other portal, makes it easier for users throughout the organization to find important information stored in WebCenter without the need to directly log in and perform a separate search.

Oracle Ingestion Connectors for Elasticsearch

The WebCenter Connector fully supports the underlying security of all content made available to SharePoint Search, Elasticsearch, and Azure Search.  It keeps this content up-to-date via scheduled crawls, ensuring users get the most recent updates when performing a search.

Our WebCenter Connector is standard, off the shelf software that addresses the following requirements:

  • Works with unstructured and structured data.
  • Works with large documents and attachments.
  • Indexes every desired item with a very high throughput. Given the amount of data that can be stored in WebCenter, high throughput is critical to the success of the implementation.
  • Minimizes the impact on the source system, ensuring no impact to its performance.
  • Only surfaces the content that users are permitted to see.
  • The source system retains the master information and the search index has only a representation (pointers). Users click on a search result and are taken to their original item or document.

Future-proof Your Investment

As new versions of the search platforms are released, new features and functionality are introduced, and the same is true of new releases of Oracle WebCenter. BA Insight takes on the burden of keeping the connector up to date for both Oracle WebCenter and the respective search engines. The upgrades are easy to do and can be done by your IT organization. It is simply a matter of accessing the BA Insight customer portal, downloading the latest release, and installing and configuring it. If desired, our professional services team can handle the upgrades.
