IBM FileNet P8 Platform is a collection of tightly integrated components that are bundled together under a common platform. The broad functionality provided by these integrated components constitute an enterprise content and process management platform. Some of the key elements of this platform are a metadata repository, a process management repository, an out-of-the-box user interface for accessing content and process elements, and a storage framework that can support a wide range of storage devices and platforms.

To provide these services, the IBM FileNet P8 Platform relies on three core components:

• Content Engine (CE)
• Process Engine (PE)
• Workplace (WP) / Workplace XT (WP XT)
