Has an excellent Database Management System and high level of services, performance, and availability

We will need to implement prototypes in our data warehouse. We will have to implement and to support some different types of files like video, audio, pictures, and non-structured data. So we are working on that. We would like better integration for data security. We will have many partners, eight or nine external partners. We will still use our system to upgrade our warehouse. But with many partners, the data warehouse will not be unique. It will be a distributed data platform. So we would need and we are looking for many services to better manage the integrity and the use of all of the data. We are receiving all these data from trains and trucks that are working on the highways and on the roads. We will have to implement some facilities to adequately use all this data at a really high volume coming from IoT. So we are not choosing that and we will have to implement some services. Right now, we don't have any monitoring. We do have major density and access control, but when a user is in our environment, we do not have the services to really measure what he is doing. I will have to report in three months on the project and its evolution. I don't have the financials and the best practices regarding the financial models with costs and benefits for a major data platform with many partners. We will know what it will cost, but we will have to define some benefits because when I will be at the treasury board asking for a major project, they will ask me what would the benefits from that will be. I'm doing research into best practices. I know that the U.S. government has a platform like the one we want to build. It is a bigger one, from what I understand. I think that the state of California and maybe the state of New York has the type of platform we want to put in place. I would like to present more than just an article. I would like to have a reference model, to really be on target by showing the benefits that are possible down the road.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Smart Viewing videos are most valuable for the end users. The end users like the look and feel of Smart View. It's similar to SharePoint, with the latest HTML5 features, filters, and everything. It's like online shopping."

"It's a very good solution."

"An SAP user can store documents directly into OpenText without a connector."

"We use Core Share to share documents with external auditors or with vendors, and that prevents them from being able to get into the whole system. It is useful."

"Simplicity to roll out, features available, customization options."

"Retention is useful. I have been pleased with the search functionality and the extensibility for tying it into integrations with other systems and building workflows on top of it."

"The tool's most valuable features are document storage, security, and compliance."

"Most of our customers are very fond of the upgraded smart user interface."

More OpenText Extended ECM pros

"This solution has automated protection from downtime. High-availability is built into every component, and the backups are completely automated."

"We have really high level of services, performance, availability, and it is stable. Everything works together really well."

Cons

"OpenText Extended ECM's user interface could be improved."

"The initial setup can get really complicated, and it takes time."

"A dashboard with information would be nice to see."

"The solution should work better with partners and be more developer-friendly."

"We are looking for new, advanced UI features. Currently, the UI does not look great."

"The architecture needs improvement, as it's complex."

"The tool's documentation is not proper and has missing information like steps."

"The annotation tool needs improvement. In other tools, such as Hyland OnBase, you can easily do annotation. You can easily merge documents. You can easily compare documents, whereas with OpenText, it seems to be a challenge."

More OpenText Extended ECM cons

"The price of licenses is high and should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Both Open Text ECM and IBM File share are expensive."

"The tool's pricing is confusing to the end customer."

"OpenText Extended ECM's pricing and licensing are aggressive and confusing for the end customer."

"The pricing is costly. It's costly to integrate with Office 365 and to go back and forth with the sales team."

"The total cost of the product will vary on the capabilities required"

"OpenText Extended ECM is an expensive solution."

"The licensing is not that complex for the core products, but it becomes more complicated for some additional modules."

"It is a little more expensive than our previous solution, but because of the fact that it has become a rallying point for different groups to come under, it might end up paying off better in the long run by not having seven siloed solutions. Even though this one solution is a little pricey, it might eliminate other ones."
