FileHold Web Services API

The Web Services API allows developers to integrate third-party applications directly into the document management system. This integration is for customers who want to provide a "single point of truth" in protecting their intellectual property.

This architecture provides tremendous benefits to customers, partners and to product development and professional services teams in terms of product scalability, flexibility and performance.

Web services API overview

The main subsystems of the document management software system communicate with each other via secure and fully authenticated web service calls. All application clients (including the Web Client, Desktop Application and Microsoft Office Add-in) interact with the server using the same web services and calls. These web services make up the Web Services API for integration of custom clients with the document management library.

Integration opportunities include;

• Integration of the document management software functionality into other productivity applications.
• The development of connectors to import documents and metadata into the document repository from other applications.
• The ability to retrieve data and documents from the document library through a custom Intranet portal.

The SOA architecture provides the ability to deploy web services on different servers for the ultimate in system scalability and performance management.
