Has strong records management,, security, and integration capabilities
It provides extensive accessibility to our content, and it's a vital component in our work processes. We've gained access to a plethora of applications through OpenText, which enables us to enhance our services for customers. One notable example is the integration with Xfinity ECM, a solution that seamlessly integrates with SAP. For instance, when someone working with SAP needs to access a specific invoice document, SAP itself doesn't store these documents, instead, the content related to the invoice number seamlessly flows through Documentum. It offers robust security features and it allows to leverage a variety of plugins from OpenText to enhance security. For example, there are plugins like Trusted Content Services that allow you to encrypt entire documents for added security, though it's essential to be aware that this might impact performance. It is a highly potent content management tool. It stands out for its impressive records management capabilities and the ability to handle an extensive volume of documents, even reaching into the billions.
