A Web Application Open Platform Interface (WOPI) server is communicatively connected to an information management (IM) server and to an online application server which acts as a WOPI client of the WOPI server. When a user wishes to open, create, or edit a document in an online application hosted by the online application server, the WOPI server is called, instead of the IM server which manages the document at the backend of an enterprise computing network. The WOPI server is configured for obtaining a working copy of the document from the IM server and providing the working copy to the WOPI client. The WOPI client provides the working copy to the online application for display on the user device. When the work is done, the working copy is sync'd back through the WOPI server to the IM server as a new draft and deleted by the WOPI server.
