FileNet
FileNet Corporation was an American company that developed software to help enterprises manage their content and business processes. FileNet P8, their flagship offering, is a framework for developing custom enterprise systems, but it can be used as-is. It was acquired by IBM in 2006.
The company was based in Costa Mesa, California, and marketed Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Business Process Management (BPM) services both directly and via a network of resellers, system integrators and application developers.
FileNet was founded in 1982 by Ted Smith, formerly of Basic 4.
He saw the potential of the new 2.6GB laserdiscs, compared to then current 150 MB disk drives, to hold data required by scanned images. Paired with workflow software, this replaced paper-based methodology. Smith's company designed and built their own 64 laserdisc jukebox (OSAR: Optical Storage and Retrieval), their own FileNet Distributed Operating System (FDOS), and their own servers, based on Motorola 68000 series processors with 8 to 32 MB of RAM.
The networking subsystem implemented the Xerox Network Standard (XNS) with Network Clearing House (NCH) as the directory service. The first systems shipped to beta customers in 1985 was FDOS version 1.6 with 1.8 released in 1986 and 2.2 in 1987. This included a limited workflow scripting system which was rewritten and expanded in the late 1980s for Windows.
In the early 1990s, FileNet introduced a more "open" version of its WorkFlo Business System software, the Series 6500, that ran on the IBM RS/6000 AIX system. The networking software utilized TCP/IP but used FileNet's proprietary application protocols. A special port of the software to System V, Release 4 for the Intel 80486 multi-CPU Olivetti LSX5000 platform was developed. FileNet also adapted to the PC as a client platform with its WorkForce Desktop software, replacing its old workstation line.
FileNet acquired
FileNet pioneered with an "Integrated Document Management" suite offering document imaging, electronic document management, COLD and workflow. They concurrently delivered an internally developed entry-level system called Workgroup.
