Hyland OpenArch connects enterprise content to AI while preserving permissions
Hyland released OpenArch, an open-source hub that connects content across enterprise repositories to AI systems without migrating it. The hub is designed to resolve source-system permissions at query time while preserving metadata and business context.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- Content remains in source repositories instead of being migrated into a second system.
- Permissions are resolved dynamically through repository APIs at query time.
- OpenArch is available as an Apache 2.0 open-source project.
What is changing?
Hyland OpenArch is designed to unite Alfresco, Nuxeo and other content repositories through a common AI content layer. Documents do not move into a new system of record; metadata, permissions and business signals remain in their source repositories. At query time, OpenArch uses repository APIs to resolve a user’s access rights and return only authorized content.
The Apache 2.0 project is available on GitHub. It can work with models and frameworks that use standard APIs, and can run in the cloud or on premises with Docker Compose. This can reduce duplicate content, but security is not automatic: connector permission mapping, identity propagation, index freshness and audit logs must be tested for every source system. Organizations should treat OpenArch as an access layer over existing governance, not as a second system of record.
