Barr EOM (Office)
Resources: Integration with 3rd Party Software

	Even though Barr EOM (Office) has a great number of features, we understand that it cannot always satisfy all the needs a company might have when it comes to output management.  We have therefore included a number of ways in which our software can integrate with other 3rd party products.

Business Rules

As part of Business Rules, administrators can configure a Run Command action, which allows execution of commands on any PCs that have the Barr EOM (Office) Rules Agent Service installed.  Besides the actual command, the action can be configured to also pass in arguments which are either static or dynamic.  Dynamic arguments are based on document properties, making it easy to invoke appropriate applications that affect documents while in the Barr EOM (Office) spooler.

Output Processes

During output to destinations, output processes can include a Run Command action as well.  Besides passing regular document properties as arguments, this action can also pass the location of the processed document.  For instance, a typical scenario would involve Barr EOM (Office) writing out the file to a network folder and calling a command line executable with several arguments including the path to the file.

Database

All the information collected by Barr EOM (Office) about documents passing through the system is available in a Microsoft SQL Server database.  This data can be used to tie in any third party application that supports standard database connectivity.

We are easy to reach!  Even if your specific document distribution and delivery need was not covered on this page, there is a very good chance we can still help.  Please give us a call at 1-800-227-7797 or +1-352-491-3100, drop us a note at sales@barrsystems.com or signup for one of our Webinars.
