Conversion Server: A Unique Offering
One of the most notable features of CM Box is its comprehensive conversion capabilities, designed to enhance both accessibility and efficiency. This system excels in generating previewable renditions of content, enabling users to swiftly access and review materials without the necessity of specialized applications. This feature is particularly advantageous in environments where quick access to content in various formats is crucial.
A key component of these capabilities is the support for PDF renditions. CM Box allows for seamless conversion of various document types into PDF format, ensuring that documents are easily viewable across different devices and platforms. This is particularly useful for businesses that deal with a multitude of document types and need a uniform format for easy dissemination and review.
Moreover, CM Box extends its conversion capabilities to managing digital assets and conversion to  multiple image formats ie PNG, JPG, or AVIF, providing flexibility in how content is presented and shared. This feature is invaluable for content creators who need different renditions delivered to their channel.
In addition to document & image conversion, CM Box also boasts strong capabilities in video format conversion. It effortlessly converts various video formats into MP4, a widely compatible format that ensures easy access and streaming of digital media across the web. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that handle a large volume of video content and require a consistent, streamable format for internal and external communications.
Experience Platform with SaaS Integrations
CM Box is designed to be the core of any successful document and content strategies, with native integration capabilities with Oracle solutions and a variety of technologies. It's the only cloud-native content management solution that supports every asset, user, and experience of your brand.
The team are shortly to release a suite of SaaS extensions with Visual Builder offering support for both WebCenter Content and CM Box.
Innovative Integration with Enterprise Search and GenAI
CM Box integrates seamlessly with leading Enterprise Search platforms like MindBreeze, Google, and MS. Additionally, it offers RAG capabilities and connectors for Azure GenAI, Cohere, and OpenAI, providing a virtual assistant for generating contextual information quickly.
Seamless Collaboration with MS Teams
With the growing popularity of Microsoft Teams, CM Box offers an integrated experience to allow users to manage and share documents within organizations.
In conclusion, Oracle Content Management may be End of Service but if you want a stable platform with a familiar user experience running on a Cloud provider of your choice reach out and be one of the first to trial CM Box.
