Customization and Integration Tools

The Laserfiche SDK is a powerful software development kit that extends your enterprise content management capabilities by allowing you to develop custom solutions that leverage the power of your Laserfiche repository.

The SDK (Software Development Kit) allows your organization to more effectively put content to use by integrating Laserfiche with third party applications. Custom solutions can be created using any language with COM support, which means Web sites, scripts, Windows applications, or anything else compatible with COM libraries, including all .NET languages, can easily communicate with the Laserfiche Server. The SDK comes with detailed documentation that includes tutorials and sample source code in C# and Visual Basic .NET.

To promote fast distribution, the SDK also includes pre-built merge modules, which can be used to create installation packages that contain both your custom code and the relevant SDK components. The Laserfiche Code Library offers software developers a chance to collaborate online by sharing their SDK scripts and applications. New SDK users can view the available source code in the library to familiarize themselves with the API, or even to extend another developer’s work.

  • Interface with all components of a Laserfiche Server through more than 150 classes.
  • Write applications that streamline bulk import and export operations.
  • Take advantage of pre-built merge modules to easily distribute needed Laserfiche components with your custom applications.

Enterprise Government Case Study - Gaston County, NC
Gaston County, NC, is the second largest county, by population, in the Charlotte metropolitan area. In 2007, the County selected Laserfiche as its ECM standard and began to deploy it on a department-by-department basis. To date, Laserfiche has been rolled out within eight departments, and the county has near-term plans to deploy it in three more. This case study focuses on the County CIO’s selection of Laserfiche as the County ECM standard and includes the CIO’s perspective and overviews of each of the eight departments using Laserfiche ECM. It also includes a detailed implementation timeline and an overview of the County’s future plans – which include deploying to three additional departments in the near term, and eventual deployment to 27 additional County departments. “I knew that ECM would be a major asset, not only in the short term, but also further on down the road. I really anticipate that, within five years, Laserfiche will become as widely-used as e-mail,” says CIO Brandon Jackson.
